Morbidity and associated factors of depressive disorder in patients with lung cancer

Cancer Management and Research Aug 14, 2019

Lee Y, Lin PY, Lin MC, et al. - Using a cross-sectional design with consecutive sampling, researchers undertook this study to evaluate morbidity and related factors in patients (n = 104) with lung cancer. Depressive disorder (25.0%) was reported as the most prevalent psychiatric disorder. Next in order of prevalence were adjustment disorder (17.3%), alcohol use disorder (3.8%), and insomnia disorder (3.8%). A psychiatric diagnosis was received by 50% of patients. Three significant related factors were the severity of fatigue, the severity of stressor, and severity of anxiety—as revealed using logistic regression analysis. The three most common stressors were patient health problems, death of a close family member or friend, and major financial crisis. Findings highlighted the importance of using a standardized structured interview for early diagnosis and treatment of patients with cancer and depressive disorder—a strategy that may lead to increased quality of life in these patients.
