Abstract

Background: This study aimed to determine the prevalence of ANXIETY among PROSTATE CANCER patients, and to ascertain the association between stress status, socio-demographic, medical and surgical illness, current urinary problem and cancer status with general HEALTH-related QUALITY OF LIFE (HRQOL) among these patients.Methods: A hospital based, cross sectional study was conducted at Surgical Clinic, University Malaya Medical Centre (UMMC) and Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Medical Centre (UKMMC) using universal sampling.Result: A total of 193 patients were recruited. The prevalence of ANXIETY was 25.4% (95%CI: 19.2 – 31.6). The ANXIETY ratings were mild ANXIETY (10.4%), moderate ANXIETY (13.6%) and severe ANXIETY (1.6%). The total QUALITY OF LIFE among stress group was 59.2±14.7 and among non-stress group was 73.9±12.7. There was a significant negative weak correlation between ANXIETY score and total QUALITY OF LIFE (rs=-0.534, P<0.001). In multivariable analysis, there was a significant difference in the total QUALITY OF LIFE (QOL) among ANXIETY status [adj. mean diff.=-9.1 (95%CI:-15.2, -4.7)]. The adjusted mean difference was associated by age category of the patients (P<0.001), living partner (P<0.001), in-termittency (P=0.035) and problem of hematuria during micturition (P=0.005).Conclusion: The prevalence of ANXIETY among PROSTATE CANCER was moderately high. Treating the urination problem as well as encouraging living with spouse/family may improve the QUALITY OF LIFE among ANXIETY condition of these patients.
