Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the anxiety and depression of elderly patients with lung cancer before and after chemotherapy.Methods:A total of 168 elderly patients diagnosed with lung cancer and eligible for chemotherapy in a Grade A tertiary hospital in Shenyang from Jan 2022 to Feb 2024 were selected as the study subjects.The basic data,self-rating depression scale(SDS),and self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)scores before and after chemotherapy were collected.The Spearman rank correlation test was used to analyze the correlation of the general data of patients with SDS and SAS scores before and after chemotherapy.Results:SDS and SAS scores of lung patients after chemotherapy were significantly higher than those before chemotherapy(P＜0.05).The proportion of patients with depression and anxiety after chemotherapy was also significantly higher than that before chemotherapy(P＜0.05).Results of Spearman's rank correlation test showed that,the increase of SDS and SAS scores was correlated with gender,pathological type,chemotherapy cycle,combined underlying diseases,and respiratory symptoms(P＜0.05).Conclusions:Chemotherapy increases the proportion of anxiety and depression in elderly patients with lung cancer.Gender,pathological type,chemotherapy cycle,combined underlying diseases,and respiratory system symptoms are correlated with the occurrence of anxiety and depression.
