Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in thyroid cancer patients.Methods:This cross-sectional study used convenience sampling to recruit thyroid cancer patients from the Thyroid Surgery Department of Harbin Medical University Cancer Hospital between July and September 2023. Data were collected using a general demographic questionnaire, the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), and the Negative Cognitive Processing Bias Questionnaire (NCPBQ) .Results:A total of 210 questionnaires were distributed, and 204 valid responses were returned, yielding a response rate of 97.14% (204/210). Among the respondents, 44 patients (21.57%) tested positive for PTSD, with a PCL-C score of 23 (19, 32). Factors influencing PTSD included age, education level, marital status, monthly income, lateral neck lymph node metastasis, comorbid chronic diseases, perceived stress, and negative cognitive processing bias ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:PTSD symptoms were present in 21.57% of thyroid cancer patients and were influenced by various factors. Healthcare professionals should develop targeted interventions based on patient characteristics to alleviate PTSD symptoms in thyroid cancer patients.
