摘要
目的:本研究旨在确定头颈部鳞状细胞癌(HNSCC)患者的社会支持感知与自我报告抑郁症状的患病率之间的关系。材料和方法:本横断面研究包括100例在印度北部三级癌症中心接受治疗的HNSCC患者。他们通过一种方便的抽样技术被登记。随后,使用受试者数据表、多维感知社会支持量表(MSPSS)和患者健康问卷-9,通过面对面访谈收集了有关社会人口学概况、临床概况、社会支持感知和自我报告抑郁症状患病率的数据。结果:大多数HNSCC患者(37%)年龄在42-54岁之间。男性性别偏好(85%)被注意到。两个最常见的亚部位是口腔(61%),其次是口咽部(26%)。大多数,60%的患者有较高的社会支持。在MSPSS的子量表中,高社会支持主要来自家庭(98%),其次是重要他人(66%)和朋友(52%)。36%的患者自我报告有中度至重度抑郁症状。社会支持感知与自述抑郁症状患病率呈弱负相关(r = -0.262, P = 0.008)。结论:尽管获得了很高的社会支持,但HNSCC患者自我报告的中度至重度抑郁症状的患病率很高。因此,监测HNSCC患者的心理健康状况,并根据他们的需要提供心理健康康复是有意义的。
Perception of Social Support and Prevalence of Self-Reported Depressive Symptoms among Patients with Head-and-Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma Treated at a Tertiary Cancer Centre in North India.
Objectives: This study was conducted to determine and correlate the perception of social support and the prevalence of self-reported depressive symptoms among patients with head-and-neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).
Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study included 100 patients with HNSCC receiving treatment at a tertiary cancer centre in north India. They were enrolled by a convenient sampling technique. Subsequently, data regarding sociodemographic profile, clinical profile, perception of social support and prevalence of self-reported depressive symptoms were collected through face-to-face interviews using a subject datasheet, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9.
Results: Most of the HNSCC patients, 37%, were in the 42-54 years age category. A male gender predilection (85%) was noted. The two most common subsites involved were the oral cavity (61%) followed by the oropharynx (26%). A majority, 60% of the patients had high social support. Among the subscales of the MSPSS, high social support was obtained majorly from the family (98%), followed by significant others (66%) and friends (52%). The prevalence of self-reported moderate-to-severe depressive symptoms was noted in 36% of patients. The perception of social support and the prevalence of self-reported depressive symptoms showed a weak negative correlation (r = -0.262, P = 0.008).
Conclusion: Despite receiving high social support, there was a high prevalence of self-reported moderate-to-severe depressive symptoms in patients with HNSCC. Therefore, it is pertinent to monitor the mental health of patients afflicted with HNSCC and provide mental health rehabilitation as per their needs.
