Abstract Background Vaccination against SARS-COV-2 has been the most important strategy for preventing infection of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women, but there is a lack of research on the pandemics in postoperative patients with breast cancer. Objective To investigate the rate and factors for SARS-CoV-2 vaccination and adverse reactions after vaccination in postoperative patients with breast cancer. Methods A web-based questionnaire survey on SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in postoperative patients with breast cancer among women. Results A total of 947 online questionnaires were collected. Of these, 341 accepted SARS-CoV-2 vaccination, while 606 were not vaccinated. There were significant differences in age, current treatment, the time since surgery, and the symptoms of anxiety and depression between the two groups. We identified current treatment (OR=0.51 for endocrine therapy; 95% CI: 0.29-0.89), the time since surgery (OR=22.49 for 1-2 years; 95% CI: 12.31-41.10; OR=8.49 for 2-5 years ; 95% CI: 4.98-14.46; OR=1.79 for >5 years ; 95% CI: 1.11-2.89), and the symptoms of depression (OR=2.48; 95% CI: 1.19-5.15) as significant factors for unvaccination. The overall incidence of adverse reactions was 43.1%. The most common local and systemic adverse reactions were pain at the injection site (28.4%) and fatigue (8.8%), respectively. Conclusion Postoperative patients with breast cancer have a relatively lower rate of vaccination for SARS-CoV-2 than the general population. Receiving treatment, a shorter time since surgery and symptom of depression were associated with unvaccination. More importantly, a favorable safety profile of the vaccines is indicated.

ObjectivesTo identify common and specific individual factors that favour or impede women’s interest in and willingness-to-pay (WTP) for breast cancer susceptibility testing (BCST) and to identify the most impactful factors on both outcome measures.Design and methodsThis study used a self-administered cross-sectional Web-based questionnaire that included hypothetical scenarios about the availability of a new genetic test for breast cancer.ParticipantsFrench-speaking women of the general population of Québec (Canada), aged between 35 and 69 years, were identified from a Web-based panel (2410 met the selection criteria, 1160 were reached and 1031 completed the survey).MeasuresThe outcomes are the level of interest in and the range of WTP for BCST. Three categories of individual factors identified in the literature were used as potential explanatory factors, that is, demographic, clinical and psychosocial.ResultsDescriptive statistics indicated that the vast majority of sampled women are interested in BCST (90%). Among those, more than half of them are willing-to-pay for such a test (57%). The regression models pointed out several factors associated with both outcomes (eg, age, income, family history, locus of control-powerful others) and marginal effects were used to highlight the most impactful factors for each outcome.ConclusionThe results of this study provide a proxy of the readiness of women of the general population to use and to pay for BCST. They also offer insights for developing inclusive and specific strategies to foster informed decision-making and guide the services offered by health organisations corresponding to women’s preferences and needs.

Abstract Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a global public health emergency and may result in psychological problems such as anxiety and depression in general population. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of anxiety and depression and their associated factors in general population of Iran during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: We conducted this web-based cross-sectional study on 5328 individuals in Iran, between 17 and 29 April 2020. Data were collected through an anonymous online questionnaire via social media like WhatsApp and Telegram. The online survey collected information on demographic characteristics, COVID-19-related variables, and anxiety and depression. Anxiety and depression were assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) and the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), respectively. Simple and multiple logistic regression analyses were performed to determine independent predictors of anxiety and depression.Results: The mean GAD-7 and PHQ-9 total scores were 7.17 (SD=5.42) and 7.80 (SD=6.68), respectively. The prevalence of anxiety, depression, and comorbid anxiety-depression were 30.1%, 33.4%, and 22.1%, respectively. According to the adjusted analysis, anxiety was significantly associated with being female, being young and middle-aged, being unemployed or housewife, having chronic diseases, long time thinking about COVID-19, having family members, friends, and/or relatives infected with COVI-19, and death of family members, relatives or friends due to COVID-19. Same results were also found for depression. Furthermore, depression was associated with being single, being resident in urban area, and having high risk individual in family. Conclusion: The prevalence of anxiety and depression were considerably high in general population of Iran during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the findings suggest that more attention needs to be paid to vulnerable groups such as women, young/middle-aged adults, unemployed people, people with chronic disease. Thus, a holistic approach, including management policies, psychosocial interventions, training, support, and tele-mental health, is absolutely crucial to reduce mental health problems of the COVID-19 and any outbreaks of other infectious diseases.

76 Background: Tokushukai group has a nation-wide network of 67 affiliated hospitals, and has started an “oncology project” to improve the quality of cancer care using web-based SRS and CCR systems. Methods: Every institution has been introduced the same electric-medical-record (EMR) to share the unified code to order chemotherapy regimens, and patient data could be collected on a database in the central office. 141 recommended regimens for 15 types of solid tumor have been approved in the cancer committee consisting of working-group and program-evaluation members. In breast cancer, 31 recommended regimens (7 for adjuvant and 24 for metastatic settings) were selected from the NCCN guidelines and approved by the committee. Not only recommended but also non-recommended regimens have their own specific codes in EMR, and the patterns of care in the selection of chemotherapy regimen were examined. Results: In 2011, 21 of 67 hospitals utilized these systems. 71.8% of 2,676 patients with cancer including 753 with colorectal, 317 with breast, 273 with gastric, 144 with non-small cell lung, 123 with pancreatic, and 73 patients with esophageal cancer had received 97 types of recommended therapies (11,022 cycles). In terms of breast cancer, 86% of 388 patients had been treated with recommended regimens (1,994 cycles). Among 71 patients received non-recommend therapies, only 6 patients (1.5%) had been treated with three regimens which were not regarded as standard regimens. Conclusions: The introduction of web-based SRS and CCR systems in a large medical group could facilitate standard chemotherapy regimen by an accurate examination of current treatment patterns.

Background: There is a high prevalence of depressive and anxiety disorders in multiple sclerosis (MS), a disease 2.5 times more frequent in females. Contrary to the general population, in whom studies have demonstrated higher rates of depression and anxiety in females, little is known about the impact of gender on psychiatric sequelae in MS patients. Objectives: We conducted a retrospective study to try to clarify this uncertainty. Methods: Demographic, illness-related and behavioral variables were obtained from a neuropsychiatric database of 896 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of MS. Symptoms of depression and anxiety were obtained with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Gender comparisons were undertaken and predictors of depression and anxiety sought with a linear regression analysis. Results: HADS data were available for 711 of 896 (79.35%) patients. Notable gender differences included a higher frequency of primary progressive MS in males ( p = 0.002), higher HADS anxiety scores in females ( p < 0.001), but no differences in HADS depression scores. Conclusion: In MS, gender influences the frequency of anxiety only. This suggests that the etiological factors underpinning anxiety and depression in MS are not only different from one another, but also in the case of depression, different from those observed in general population samples.

Today, every continent in the world is affected by the novel coronavirus2019 (COVID-19). Saudi Arabia has also suffered from this highly contagious, socially disruptive, infectious disease. Our aim was to assess the anxiety and depression prevalence and identify the associated risk factors among the general population of Riyadh city, Saudi Arabia, during COVID-19 outbreak. This cross-sectional study was conducted using a web-based survey. A total of 651 participants were recruited who were ≥18 years old and lived in Riyadh city during the COVID-19 pandemic. We collected sociodemographic information of the participants and assessed their COVID-19-related knowledge assessment. We used the Arabic versions of the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 questionnaire and the Patient Health Questionnaire to assess the status of an individual’s anxiety and depression, respectively. We observed 28.7% and 25.5% prevalence of depression and anxiety among the general population, respectively. Females, younger people (age < 35 years), and unmarried persons showed a significantly higher prevalence of anxiety and depression. Binary logistic regression analysis also revealed that female gender, age younger than 35 years, having history of psychiatric diseases, and spending more than one hour per day on following COVID-19 news were associated with anxiety and depression. Retired participants were less likely to suffer from anxiety or depression during the pandemic. In this study, females, younger people (age < 35 years), and individuals with history of psychiatric patients were identified as vulnerable groups who need support during this crisis. We also recommend that the general public must limit their time of watching and following COVID-19-related news.

ABSTRACT Web-based homework (WBH) is an increasingly important phenomenon. There is little research about its character, the nature of its impact on student performance, and how that impact evolves over an academic term. The primary research questions addressed in this study are: What relevant factors in a WBH learning environment impact students' performance? And how does the impact of these factors change over the course of an academic term? This paper examines and identifies significant factors in a WBH learning environment and how they impact student performance. We studied over 300 students using WBH extensively for their coursework, throughout a semester in an undergraduate class at a large public university. In this paper, we present factors in the WBH learning environment that were found to have a significant impact on student performance during the course of a semester. In addition to individual and technological factors, this study presents findings that demonstrate that frustration with IT use is a component of the learning environment, and as a construct, has a larger impact than usefulness on student performance at the end of a course. Our results indicate that educators may benefit from training students and engaging them in utility of co-operative learning assignments to mitigate the level of frustration with the software in the WBH learning environment and improve student performance.
