Abstract
Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence and analyze several factors related to anxiety, depression, and stress in breast cancer patients at the breast clinic of Cho Ray Hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 190 newly diagnosed breast cancer patients at the breast clinic of Cho Ray Hospital using the DASS-21 scale (The 21-item Depression Anxiety and Stress Scales) to assess the levels of anxiety, depression, and stress. Logistic regression was used to measure the relationship between certain characteristics and anxiety, depression, and stress levels. Results: 65.8% of breast cancer patients experienced genuine anxiety, 80.0% experienced genuine depression, and 71.1% experienced genuine stress. Factors associated with anxiety disorders included marital status and disease stage. Factors associated with depression included marital status and disease stage. Factors associated with stress included educational level and disease stage. Conclusion: The high prevalence of anxiety, depression, and stress among breast cancer patients highlights the need for increased mental health care for those in need, both during and after treatment.
