Abstract

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) can significantly impact mental health, increasing suicide risk. Variables such as pain and threat perception may be crucial. This study aims to identify predictors of suicide risk in individuals with CRC.

Methods: A total of 71 participants (76.06% men) aged 27 to 88 years (M = 65.18, SD = 12.02) were assessed using the SF-36 for pain, the Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (B-IPQ) for threat perception, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for emotional distress, and the Plutchik suicide risk scale for suicide risk. Descriptive, comparative, and correlational analyses were performed, followed by a linear regression analysis.

Results: Nearly 20% of participants exhibited high suicide risk. There was a moderate-to-high association between suicide risk and the perception of threat, pain, and emotional distress. The linear regression model explained 39% of the variance in suicide risk, with threat perception, pain, and emotional distress as significant predictors.

Conclusions: These results indicate the need for multidisciplinary care for individuals with CRC, including emotional support from health psychologists, and holistic, human-centered care from nursing and medical professionals. Future research is necessary to further explore these relationships and improve patient care strategies.

疼痛、威胁感和情绪困扰对结直肠癌患者自杀风险的影响

背景：结直肠癌（CRC）会严重影响心理健康，增加自杀风险。疼痛和威胁感等变量可能至关重要。本研究旨在确定 CRC 患者自杀风险的预测因素：共有 71 名参与者（76.06% 为男性），年龄介于 27 岁至 88 岁之间（M = 65.18，SD = 12.02），他们使用 SF-36 评估疼痛，使用简明疾病感知问卷 (B-IPQ) 评估威胁感知，使用医院焦虑抑郁量表 (HADS) 评估情绪困扰，使用 Plutchik 自杀风险量表评估自杀风险。研究人员进行了描述性分析、比较分析和相关分析，然后进行了线性回归分析：结果：近 20% 的参与者表现出较高的自杀风险。自杀风险与威胁感、疼痛感和情绪困扰之间存在中度到高度的关联。线性回归模型解释了 39% 的自杀风险变异，其中威胁感、疼痛和情绪困扰是重要的预测因素：这些结果表明，需要为 CRC 患者提供多学科护理，包括健康心理学家的情感支持，以及护理和医疗专业人员以人为本的整体护理。未来的研究有必要进一步探讨这些关系，并改进患者护理策略。
