Current status and correlation of fear of disease progression and sleep quality in laryngeal cancer patients
Objective To investigate the current status of fear of disease progression and sleep quality among laryngeal cancer patients,and analyze the correlation between them.Methods Laryngeal cancer patients who were hospitalized in West China Hospital of Sichuan University between March 2021 and February 2022 were selected for this cross-sectional survey.Sociodemographic and disease-related data questionnaires,Chinese version of Fear of Progression Questionaire Short Form,and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index(PSQI)Scale were used to investigate the laryngeal cancer patients who met the inclusion criteria,and the correlation between fear of disease progression and PSQI score in laryngeal cancer patients was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis.Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis was used to analyze the effects of sociodemographic and disease-related characteristics on the total score of fear of disease progression in laryngeal cancer patients,and the effects of sociodemographic,disease-related characteristics and total score of fear of disease progression on the total score of PSQI of laryngeal cancer patients.Scores were expressed as median(lower quartile,upper quartile).Results A total of 312 copies of questionnaires were distributed and 309 valid copies were recovered,with an effective recovery rate of 99.0％.The total score of fear of disease progression in the laryngeal cancer patients was 22.00(16.00,30.00),including 12.00(8.00,17.00)in physiological health dimension,and 10.00(7.00,14.00)in social and family dimension.The total score of PSQI was 5.00(3.00,8.50).The correlations of the physiological health dimension score,the social and family dimension score,and the total score of fear of disease progression with the total score of PSQI in laryngeal cancer patients were positive with statistical significance(rs=0.294,P＜0.001;rs=0.234,P＜0.001;rs=0.287,P＜0.001).Multiple linear stepwise regression analyses showed that the total score of fear of disease progression in laryngeal cancer patients was affected by the stage of disease,occupation,primary caregiver and treatment plan(P＜0.05),and the total score of PSQI of laryngeal cancer patients was affected by level of education,treatment plan and the total score of fear of disease progression(P＜0.05).Conclusions The fear of disease progression in laryngeal cancer patients has a significant negative correlation with the sleep quality.Meanwhile,alleviating the level of fear of disease progression may improve sleep quality.
