2023-03-08T09:23:28Z urn:hdl:10259/7513 Related Factors with Depression and Anxiety in Mastectomized Women Breast Cancer Survivors Álvarez-Pardo, Sergio Paz, José Antonio de Romero-Pérez, Ena Montserrat Tánori-Tapia, José Manuel Rendón-Delcid, Pablo Alejandro González Bernal, Jerónimo Fernández Solana, Jessica Simón Vicente, Lucía Mielgo Ayuso, Juan González Santos, Josefa Breast cancer Mastectomy Depression Anxiety HADS Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer diagnosis with the highest mortality rate worldwide. The aim of this study was to identify factors related to depression and anxiety in mastectomized women BC survivors. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 198 women diagnosed with BC aged 30–80 years in Mexico. Depression and anxiety were assessed using the 14-item Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). The results showed that 94.44% and 69.18% of the women scored more than eight points on HADS in the anxiety and depression subscales, respectively; 70.20% and 10.60% were identified as pathological. The following variables were analyzed: age, time elapsed since the start of treatment, received treatment at the time of the evaluation, type of surgery, family history, marital status and employment status. Time elapsed since surgery, having a partner, and employment showed significant results as factors associated to levels of depression and anxiety in these patients. In conclusion, it has been shown that BCSs under 50 years of age receiving some kind of treatment, without family history, without a partner, with a job, with more than secondary education and with more than 5 years since diagnosis could have higher rates of clinical depression. On the other hand, BCSs older than 50 years receiving some kind of treatment, without family history, without a partner, with a job, with more than secondary education and with more than 5 years since diagnosis, could have higher rates of clinical anxiety. In conclusion, the variables studied provide valuable information for the implementation of psychotherapy plans in healthcare systems to reduce the risk of depression and/or anxiety in women with BC who have undergone mastectomy. 2023-03-08T09:23:28Z 2023-03-08T09:23:28Z 2023-02 info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://hdl.handle.net/10259/7513 10.3390/ijerph20042881 1660-4601 eng International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. 2023, V. 20, n. 4, 2881 https://doi.org/10.3390/ijerph20042881 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Atribución 4.0 Internacional MDPI
