| Research Abstract |
We investigated the psychological stress and QOL in cancer patients receiving treatments, especially receiving chemotherapy, by using qualitative and quantitative analysis. We found that trait anxiety, life change events, especially those perceived negatively, and emotional suppression were potential risk factors for psychological distress in cancer patients after surgery. We found that the high trait anxiety patients felt higher depression and anxiety than the low trait anxiety patients after surgery. We found that the emotional suppression patients felt higher psychological distress and expressed more negative emotions than the emotional expression patients before and after chemotherapy. We suggested that higher psychological distress was associated with poor cognitive function in patients receiving chemotherapy.
