Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the correlation of illness uncertainty with anxiety and depression in perioperative patients with early gastric cancer.Methods:A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 107 patients with early gastric cancer who were admitted in Department of Gastroenterology of a Class A tertiary hospital in Beijing from April 2020 to August 2021. The demographic data questionnaire was used for survey, and the psychological status of patients was evaluated with Mishel′s Uncertainties in Illness Scales (MUIS), self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS). Spearman correlation analysis was used to explore the correlation of disease uncertainty with anxiety and depression in patients with early gastric cancer.Results:The illness uncertainty in patients with early gastric cancer was at a moderate level (93.2±14.0). The total scores on the SAS and SDS were (46.5±9.7) and (47.7±10.2), respectively. And the incidence rate of anxiety and depression was 34.6% (37/107) and 31.8% (34/107) respectively. The illness uncertainty of patients with early gastric cancer was positively correlated with anxiety and depression ( r=0.40,0.31,all P<0.05). Conclusion:Some patients with early gastric cancer have illness uncertainty, anxiety and depression, and the illness uncertainty is related to anxiety and depression.
