https://doi.org/10.31877/on.2010.12.01Keywords:
Colorectal cancer, depression, ostomyAbstract
The current study assesses the impact of treatment by means of surgery, surgery/chemotherapy and surgery/radiotherapy in patients with colorectal cancer and their respective spouses, concerning depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress. Data was gathered at the Portuguese Institute of Oncology, using a sample composed of 114 patients diagnosed of colorectal cancer and 67 spouses of such patients.
This study has shown a positive correlation between patients’ depression status and that of their spouses. We’ve also demonstrated that an elimination ostomy brings physical benefits to the patient, yet significantly increases the risk of depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress.
