Abstract

The quality of life of breast cancer patients is strongly affected by physical pain, psychological distress, and uncertainty about vital prognosis.

Objective: To assess breast cancer patients' mental well-being and level of psychological distress at the Mohammed VI University Hospital in Marrakech.

Methods: Cross-sectional study carried out from April to December 2023 at the Mohammed VI University Hospital of Marrakech. The data were collected via a questionnaire comprising a sociodemographic section and a section reserved for the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (WEMWBS) and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). Data analysis was performed using SPSS software, version 25.

Results: A total of 38.3% of patients experienced severe psychological distress. However, their mental well-being was high with a mean of 54.59 (±11.29). Older patients (>50 years) exhibited better mental well-being (56.46±10.39 vs. 52.99±11.81; p=0.020) and lower psychological distress (26.27±7.21 vs. 28.44±8.19; p=0.034) compared to their younger counterparts (≤50 years). As for the stage of cancer, patients with localized cancer presented a higher mental well-being score than patients with metastatic cancer (55.53±10.93 vs. 50.40±12.03; p=0.008). However, no statistically significant difference was recorded between mastectomy and lumpectomy patients regarding mental well-being or psychological distress.

Conclusion: Breast cancer has not only a physical but also a psychological and emotional impact on patients. Thus, early diagnosis and referral to appropriate psychosocial services can improve patients' mental well-being.

评估摩洛哥乳腺癌患者的精神健康和心理压力。
乳腺癌患者的生活质量受到身体疼痛、心理压力和重要预后不确定性的严重影响:评估马拉喀什穆罕默德六世大学医院乳腺癌患者的精神健康状况和心理困扰程度:2023 年 4 月至 12 月在马拉喀什穆罕默德六世大学医院进行的横断面研究。数据通过问卷收集,问卷包括社会人口学部分和沃里克-爱丁堡心理健康量表(WEMWBS)和凯斯勒心理压力量表(K10)部分。数据分析使用 25 版 SPSS 软件进行:共有 38.3% 的患者经历过严重的心理困扰。然而,他们的心理健康水平较高,平均为 54.59(±11.29)分。与年轻患者(≤50 岁)相比,老年患者(大于 50 岁)的心理健康状况更好(56.46±10.39 vs. 52.99±11.81;P=0.020),心理困扰程度更低(26.27±7.21 vs. 28.44±8.19;P=0.034)。在癌症分期方面,局部癌症患者的心理健康评分高于转移性癌症患者(55.53±10.93 vs. 50.40±12.03;p=0.008)。然而,乳房切除术和肿块切除术患者在心理健康或心理困扰方面没有明显的统计学差异:结论:乳腺癌不仅会对患者的身体造成影响,还会对其心理和情绪造成影响。因此,早期诊断和转介适当的心理社会服务可改善患者的心理健康。
