Tóm tắt

Một tỷ lệ ngày càng tăng của những người sống sót sau ung thư phải trải qua tình trạng độc hại tài chính. Tuy nhiên, gánh nặng tâm lý từ chi phí liên quan đến ung thư và các kết quả sức khỏe tâm thần đi kèm cần được khảo sát thêm. Chúng tôi đã đánh giá sự phổ biến và các yếu tố dự đoán của mối lo ngại tài chính tự báo cáo và các kết quả sức khỏe tâm thần trong số những người sống sót sau ung thư. Dữ liệu từ cuộc Khảo sát Phỏng vấn Y tế Quốc gia (NHIS) năm 2013–2018 cho những người trưởng thành báo cáo chẩn đoán ung thư đã được sử dụng. Phân tích hồi quy logistic bội biến đã xác định tỷ lệ odds đã điều chỉnh (AOR) của việc báo cáo mối lo ngại tài chính theo các biến sociodemographic liên quan, và tỷ lệ phổ biến đã điều chỉnh theo trọng số mẫu của mối lo ngại tài chính được ước tính. Sự liên quan giữa mối lo ngại tài chính và căng thẳng tâm lý, được định nghĩa bởi Thang đo Căng thẳng Tâm lý Kessler sáu mục, cũng đã được đánh giá. Trong số 13.361 người tham gia khảo sát (tuổi trung vị 67; 60,0% nữ giới), có 9.567 người (71,6%) tự báo cáo mối lo ngại tài chính, bao gồm những lo ngại về chi phí cho việc thanh toán học phí đại học cho con cái (62,7%), duy trì mức sống của chính mình (59,7%), và chi phí y tế do bệnh tật hoặc tai nạn (58,3%). Giới tính nữ, độ tuổi trẻ hơn và chủng tộc người Mỹ gốc Á đều có liên quan đến việc gia tăng khả năng lo ngại tài chính (P < 0,05 cho tất cả). Trong số 13.218 người tham gia có câu trả lời đầy đủ cho các câu hỏi K6, 701 người (5,3%) đạt ngưỡng cho căng thẳng tâm lý nghiêm trọng. Các người tham gia xác nhận lo ngại tài chính có khả năng cao hơn vào việc gặp căng thẳng tâm lý (6,6% so với 1,2%, AOR 2,89, 95% CI 2,03–4,13, P< 0,001) với mỗi lo ngại bổ sung tăng khả năng gặp căng thẳng tâm lý lên 23,9%. Một phần lớn bệnh nhân sống sót sau ung thư báo cáo lo ngại tài chính, điều này có liên quan đến việc gia tăng khả năng báo cáo căng thẳng tâm lý. Cần có các chính sách và hướng dẫn để xác định và giảm thiểu mối lo ngại tài chính và căng thẳng tâm lý trong số bệnh nhân bị ung thư, với mục tiêu cải thiện phúc lợi tâm lý và chăm sóc bệnh nhân sống sót sau ung thư tổng thể.
