Abstract

Being diagnosed with cancer and coping with fears about potential death might trigger acute distress. Previous research found that patients with cancer are 1.85 times more at risk of developing mental illness. Whereas previous studies investigated the risk of schizophrenia, no studies have investigated the risk of individual psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations. This was an analysis of the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing involving 7586 adults of whom 1082 have cancer. There were 19 (0.3%) who self-reported hallucinations, and logistic regression showed that cancer patients had higher odds of hallucinating. Loneliness, discrimination, poor job satisfaction, poor life satisfaction, anxiety, low level of autonomy/control and having restless sleep were also associated with hallucinations. Cancer patients had higher odds of poor life satisfaction, which was also predicted by loneliness, discrimination, job satisfaction, anxiety symptoms, autonomy/control and restless sleep. Further results of a moderated mediation model showed that cancer, loneliness, and job satisfaction were directly associated with hallucinations, and life satisfaction was a mediator. Anxiety symptoms also moderated the relationships with hallucinations. Cancer is associated with a higher risk of hallucinations, and other aspects of mental wellbeing (e.g., anxiety and life satisfaction) are also important. Interventions are needed which safeguard mental health after cancer diagnosis and during treatment.
癌症患者出现幻觉的风险增加:孤独感、工作满意度、睡眠以及焦虑和生活满意度的中介模型的作用。
被诊断出患有癌症以及应对可能死亡的恐惧可能会引发严重的痛苦。以往的研究发现,癌症患者罹患精神疾病的风险比常人高出 1.85 倍。以往的研究对精神分裂症的风险进行了调查,但还没有研究对幻觉等个别精神病症状的风险进行调查。这是对英国老龄化纵向研究(English Longitudinal Study of Ageing)的一项分析,该研究涉及 7586 名成年人,其中 1082 人患有癌症。有 19 人(0.3%)自述出现幻觉,逻辑回归显示癌症患者出现幻觉的几率更高。孤独感、歧视、工作满意度低、生活满意度低、焦虑、自主/控制能力低和睡眠不安也与幻觉有关。癌症患者生活满意度低的几率较高,而孤独感、歧视、工作满意度、焦虑症状、自主性/控制力和睡眠不安稳也会影响生活满意度。调节中介模型的进一步结果显示,癌症、孤独感和工作满意度与幻觉直接相关,而生活满意度是中介因素。焦虑症状也调节了与幻觉的关系。癌症与较高的幻觉风险有关,精神健康的其他方面(如焦虑和生活满意度)也很重要。需要采取干预措施,在癌症确诊后和治疗期间保障心理健康。
