| description | Introduction: Breast cancer is the most
common cancer among women in the world and in our country. Despite early
diagnosis and improved treatment possibilities, breast cancer is difficult to
accept and a major source of anxiety. It brings various psychosocial problems
to the agenda. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of depression and
anxiety in the patients admitted to the outpatient clinic with the complaint of
a mass in the breast and to determine the effect of mass on the mental health
of women.
Methods: This study is an analytical
case-control study. All of the participants were female (n=200). Patients
filled the questionnaire containing the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the
Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the sociodemographic data form.
Results: There was no
statistically significant difference between the case and control groups in
terms of the marital status, living with someone, monthly income level, place
of residence, occupation, and education level (p gt;0.05). There was a statistically significant
difference between case and control groups in terms of the mean BDI score
(19.6±1.05, 8.92±0.62, respectively, p lt;0.001). There was also a
statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of the
mean BAI score (20.34±1.23, 7.88±0.71, respectively, p lt;0.001).
Conclusion: In our study, the incidence
of depression and severe anxiety was significantly higher in the women admitted
to the outpatient clinic with the complaint of a breast mass than in the
healthy women. |
