AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of cancer-related depression and anxiety in western China among patients with ovarian cancer and analyze their influencing factors.MethodsIn this prospective cross-sectional study, qualified patients were asked to fill in questionnaires. Multivariate analysis and binary logistic regression analysis were used to test the associations among symptoms of depression and anxiety, coping styles, and influencing factors.ResultsA total of 270 ovarian cancer inpatients who met the criteria for participation in the study completed the questionnaires. The levels of depression and anxiety that prevailed in ovarian cancer patients were 47.03% and 57.77%, respectively. Among them, 90.38% of cancer-related anxiety patients and 91.33% of cancer-related depression patients showed mild symptoms. The chi-square test showed that there were statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) in the fields of education level and income. T-test showed that cancer-related depression and anxiety were associated with coping style, and the difference had statistical significance (P < 0.05). Furthermore, multivariate analysis showed that the education level and coping style were the independent influencing factors of depression and anxiety.ConclusionsThe present study suggested that about half of the ovarian cancer patients had with depression and anxiety symptoms. The majority of the cancer-related depression and symptoms were mild. Educational level and coping style should be considered during the interventions of cancer-related depression and anxiety.

Aims: Understanding of the perceived stress and coping strategies adopted by people is important for contemplating the consequences of a pandemic on mental health of people globally. In this study, we intended to assess the perceived stress status under quarantine/isolation globally during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: This is a multicentre, multinational cross-sectional study that recruited isolated/quarantined individuals suspected or confirmed to have COVID-19 to assess the psychological impact of the quarantine/isolation experience by answering a survey distributed online.Results: The study was conducted across 63 participating countries, gaining 1,871 valid responses. There was a higher proportion of female participants in the Moderate to High Perceived Stress Scores (MH-PSS) group compared to the Low Perceived Stress Score group (66.0 vs. 52.0%) and a higher proportion of individuals whose marital status was single had MH-PSS (57.1%). Also, individual's religion (Christian, Hindu, and Muslim), no formal education level, being exposed to a confirmed or suspected COVID-19 patient, being forced to be quarantined/isolated, uncomfortable feeling during quarantine period may significantly increase the risk of MH-PSS (p &lt; 0.05).Conclusions: Many factors can predict stress in COVID-19 pandemic including female sex, being single, religion, no formal education, involuntary quarantine, location and reason of quarantine/isolation, and place of exposure.
