ABSTRACT

【Abstract】Objective To investigate the status of Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in patients with cervical cancer and analyze its influencing factors.
Methods Clinical data of 110 patients with cervical cancer treated in our hospital from January 2022 to January 2024 were retrospectively analyzed. Cervical cancer patients were divided into PTSD group (total score ≥50, n=26) and non-PTSD group (total score < 50, n=84) according to PTSD Check List-Civilian Version (PCL-C). Relevant baseline data, International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) staging, Self-rating depression Scale (SDS), Self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and Trait Coping Style questionnaire scores were compared between the two groups. The risk factors of PTSD in patients with cervical cancer were analyzed by multiple factors.
Results The proportion of patients with FIGO stage Ⅱ, SDS score, SAS score and negative coping score in PTSD group were higher than those in non-PTSD group (P＜0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that FIGO stage Ⅱ, SDS score, SAS score and negative coping score were risk factors for PTSD in cervical cancer patients, all with P＜0.05.
Conclusion   Patients with cervical cancer are prone to PTSD, and FIGO stage Ⅱ, SDS score, SAS score and negative coping score are influential factors for PTSD in patients with cervical cancer, which should be paid sufficient attention to clinically.
