Abstract

Objective: To assess the characteristic of anxiety with GAD-7 in patients with gastrointestinal cancers at K hospital. Subject: 124 patients were diagnosed gastrointestinal cancer and treated at K hospital from August 2020 to October 2020. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study. Result: The male/female ratio was 2.6/1, the average age was 57.9. The majority of patients had educational level under 10th grade (57.3%) and were single/widowed (93.5%). The most common cancer site was colorectal (52.4%), followed by esophagus (27.4%), and stomach (20.2%), mostly at stage III-IV (64.5%). The mean GAD-7 score was 3.5 ± 4.66 with 30.6% of patients having anxiety. Anxiety was statistically significant associated with age (p = 0.003; OR = 1.059, 95% CI = 0.123-9.097) and time since diagnosis (p = 0.037; OR = 1.238, 95% CI = 0.140) -10,940). The highest rates of anxiety were in gastric cancer (20% with GAD-7 ≥ 10) and stage III-IV (22.6%). There was no statistically significant relationship between anxiety and cancer site and stage (p>0.05). Conclusion: Anxiety was common in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. There was a statistically significant association between anxiety and age and time since diagnosis.
