Abstract

This study investigated mental health, sleep quality, and quality of life among family members of patients with first-episode cancer. A survey was conducted with 39 family members of patients with cancer, using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and Caregiver Quality of Life Index-Cancer (CQOLC). HADS scores indicated that 17 participants (43.6%) had adjustment and/or major depressive disorders. PSQI scores showed that 16 participants (42.1%) had sleep disturbances. However, CQOLC scores were higher than those in previous studies on families of patients with various stages of cancer. Although families of patients with first-episode cancer may not experience difficulties in their lives, their mental and physical conditions may be impaired. Healthcare providers should focus on the impact on the mental health and sleep needs of patients’ families caused by dealing with a loved one with cancer and offer support.

首发癌症患者家属心理健康、睡眠质量和生活质量的定量研究

本研究调查了首发癌症患者家属的心理健康、睡眠质量和生活质量。采用医院焦虑和抑郁量表(HADS)、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)和护理者生活质量指数-癌症(CQOLC)对39名癌症患者的家庭成员进行了调查。HADS评分显示17名参与者(43.6%)有调整和/或重度抑郁障碍。PSQI评分显示，16名参与者(42.1%)有睡眠障碍。然而，CQOLC得分高于以往对不同阶段癌症患者家庭的研究。虽然首发癌症患者的家属在生活中可能不会遇到困难，但他们的精神和身体状况可能会受到损害。医疗服务提供者应关注因与癌症患者打交道而对患者家属的心理健康和睡眠需求造成的影响，并提供支持。
