ABSTRACT

Objectives:

Women with ovarian cancer (OC) have experienced unprecedented challenges since the novel coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) outbreak in China. We aim to evaluate the experience of psychological status, physical symptoms and quality of life (QoL) and investigate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on OC patients receiving olaparib.

Methods:

The survey was conducted online from April 22 to May 12 in 2020. Demographic and clinical questions were listed to collect general information. The degree of insomnia, depression, anxiety, stress symptoms and QoL were assessed by the Chinese versions of the Insomnia Severity Index, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, the Impact of Event Scale-Revised, and the General Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to analyze the risk factors for mental distress and QoL.

Results:

A total of 56 respondents coming from 15 various provinces in China participated in the survey. The prevalence of insomnia, depressive, anxiety, stress symptoms and reduced QoL were 37.5, 51.8, 37.5, 30.4, and 51.8%, respectively. Unfavorable disease status, shorter period of olaparib administration, adverse events of olaparib and delay in cancer care were correlated with mental health problems. Reduced QoL was also significantly associated with psychological distress.

Conclusions:

This study emphasized that mental health problems and reduced QoL should gain more attention in women with OC who are receiving oral olaparib at home. Appropriate psychological healthcare strategies are necessary for OC patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
