Abstract

Background and objectives: Impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and psychological symptoms after melanoma surgery are common, but research often focuses on specific stages, older patients, or clinical trial settings. This study aims to identify sub-groups of surgically treated melanoma patients in a real-world setting by examining associations between clinical and sociodemographic factors and psychosocial well-being.

Methods: Patients attending follow-up at the Department of Plastic Surgery, Herlev and Gentofte Hospital, were invited to this cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study. Eight validated patient-reported outcome measures assessed HRQoL, psychological symptoms, work ability, and patient activation. A study-specific questionnaire evaluated satisfaction and follow-up experiences.

Results: 251/489 patients (51%) completed the questionnaires. Over one-third had high fear of cancer recurrence, and one in five reported high distress. Stage IV patients had the highest psychological symptom burden and lowest HRQoL, work ability, and patient activation. Younger age was linked to more psychological symptoms, and female gender to lower work ability. Stage IV disease and low income were associated with lower patient activation. About 20% felt more anxious before follow-ups.

Conclusion: Findings highlight the need for follow-up that supports psychosocial well-being after melanoma surgery, particularly in younger patients and those with advanced melanoma.

手术治疗黑素瘤患者的亚组识别与健康相关的生活质量和社会心理健康的影响
背景和目的:黑色素瘤手术后健康相关生活质量受损(HRQoL)和心理症状很常见,但研究往往侧重于特定阶段、老年患者或临床试验设置。本研究旨在通过研究临床和社会人口学因素与心理健康之间的关系,在现实世界中确定手术治疗黑色素瘤患者的亚组。方法:在Herlev和Gentofte医院整形外科接受随访的患者被邀请参加这个横断面的、基于问卷的研究。8个经过验证的患者报告的结果测量评估了HRQoL、心理症状、工作能力和患者激活度。一份研究特定的问卷评估满意度和随访经验。结果:251/489例患者(51%)完成问卷调查。超过三分之一的人非常害怕癌症复发,五分之一的人表示非常痛苦。IV期患者的心理症状负担最高,HRQoL、工作能力和患者激活度最低。年龄越小,心理症状越多,而女性的工作能力越低。IV期疾病和低收入与较低的患者激活度相关。约20%的人在随访前感到更加焦虑。结论:研究结果强调了黑色素瘤手术后随访支持心理社会健康的必要性,特别是对年轻患者和晚期黑色素瘤患者。
