Abstract

Background: In this study, we decided to investigate the state of depression, anxiety, and quality of life and its relationship with some demographic characteristics of lung neoplasm patients who were candidates for surgery. Materials and Methods: In a cross‑sectional study, all patients with lung neoplasm who were referred to medical centers affiliated to Isfahan University of Medical Sciences and were candidate for lung surgery in 2020–2021. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 52 people were assigned to the study consecutively. Then, the patients completed the demographic information questionnaire, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ‑C30) (EORTC QLQ‑C30). Results: The score of depression and anxiety was normal (range 7‑0) and the score of quality of life was in the relatively good range (50–175). As the patient’s age increases (P = 0.014) and the duration of the disease increases (P = 0.041), the level of depression increases significantly. People with higher education had lower depression (P = 0.001) and anxiety (P = 0.003). People living in the city had a significantly better quality of life (P = 0.039). The higher the depression (P < 0.0001) and anxiety (P = 0.037) of the people, the lower the quality of life of the patients. Conclusion: As anxiety and depression increase, the quality of life of lung neoplasm patients decreases. Some demographic characteristics such as old age, insufficient education, rurality, and increased duration of the disease can be the risk factors for depression, anxiety, and reduced quality of life of patients with lung neoplasm. © 2024 Journal of Research in Medical Sciences.
