Abstract
Anxiety And Depressive Symptoms And Health-Related Quality Of Life Status Among Patients With Cancer In Terengganu, Malaysia
Author(s): Lua Pei Lin, Wong Sok Yee and Neni Widiasmoro SelamatObjective: This study was aimed to determine the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms , to examine their association with health-related quality of life (HRQoL) profiles and to determine the predictors on overall HRQoL.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah, Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia. The Malay Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and McGill Quality of Life Questionnaire (MMQoL) were administered to a sample of 150 cancer patients (mean age = 50.4 years). Chi-square test, correlation and multiple regression were utilised for data analysis.
Results: The prevalence for mild anxiety and depressive symptoms was 30.7% and 23.3% respectively. The HADS-A correlated strongest with Total MMQoL Score (r = - 0.578) and Psychological Well-Being (r = -0.526). Only HADS-A (beta = - 0.486), and HADS-D (beta = -0.173) were significant in predicting overall health-related quality of life.
Conclusion: Findings in our study indicated that the prevalence of anxiety and depressive symptoms in Terengganu cancer patients are moderate. If anxiety and depression are identified and treated, health-related quality of life among oncology patients appropriately could significantly be improved.
