Methods260 cases of patient with breast cancer were investigated by using the questionnaire of demographic characteristics and symptom check list 90(SCL-90)and social support rating scale(SSRS). ResultsBreast cancer patients ' mental health condition was worse than normal healthy people and their mood changes were obviously observed. Breast cancer patients achieved good social support.However, the urban patients with breast cancer got better social support than the rural patients and the difference were statistically significant(t =7.91, P =0.000). SCL-90 total score and its factors such as forced symptoms, sensitive interpersonal relationship, depression, anxiety, hostile, terror, paranoid,psychoticism,were negatively related with the social support (r =-0.278,-0.259,-0.165,-0.294,-0.215,-0.177,-0.175,-0.167,-0.219,all P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionThe social support influences breast cancer patients'mental health,therefore,the patients with breast cancer should be given a better social support in order to improve the psychological health level and improve recovery.
ABSTRACT
Objective To describe the quality of life of breast cancer patients and explore the risk factors for their quality of life (QOL). Methods QOL of 260 patients with breast cancer were studied using FACT-B, SCL-90, Social Support Rating Scale and multiple linear regression models to study the main factors influencing the QOL of patients with breast cancer on functional scales (physical, social, emotional, role). Results Economic conditions (β =2.024, P =0.003), emotion regulation ability (β =4.993, P =0.000) and self-evaluation of marital quality (β =-3.954, P =0.001) were associated with total QOL scores, emotion regulation ability (β =0.987, P =0.008), the number of emergency incidents (β=-0.866, P =0.011) were associated with physical domain scores, economic conditions (β =1.016, P =0.000), marital status (β =-1.018, P =0.041), emotion regulation ability (β =0.971, P =0.008), self-evaluation of marital quality (β =-1.382, P =0.001) were associated with social and family domain scores, emotion regulation ability (β =1.094, P =0.000), self-evaluation of marital quality (β =-0.892, P =0.006) were associated with emotional domain scores, regional factors(β =1.653, P =0.008), emotion regulation ability (β =0.962, P=0.01), self-evaluation of the QOL (β =-1.705, P =0.000) were associated with function domain scores. Conclusion Guiding the patients to have a correct understanding of the breast cancer, strengthening their confidence of life, increasing physical activity, having a good family environment and necessary social welfare so that improving the QOL of the patients.
