Background.
The biomedical care for cancer has not been complemented by psychosocial progressions in cancer care.
Objectives.
To find the prevalence of anxiety and depression amongst cancer patients in a hospital setting.
Design and Setting.
This cross-sectional study was conducted at the tertiary care hospitals Shifa International Hospital Islamabad and Nuclear Medicine, Oncology, and Radiotherapy Institute [NORI].
Patients and Methods.
300 patients were interviewed from both the outpatient and inpatient department using The Aga Khan University Anxiety and Depression Scale (AKUADS).
Main Outcome Measures.
Using a score of 20 and above on the AKUADS, 146 (48.7%) patients were suffering from anxiety and depression.
Results.
When cross tabulation was done between different factors and the cancer patients with anxiety and depression, the following factors were found out to be significant with associated p value < 0.05: education of the patient, presence of cancer in the family, the severity of pain, and the patient’s awareness of his anxiety and depression.
Out of 143 (47.7%) uneducated patients, 85 (59.4%) were depressed, hence making it the highest educational category suffering from depression and anxiety.
Conclusion.
The prevalence of anxiety and depression amongst cancer patients was high showing that importance should be given to screening and counseling cancer patients for anxiety and depression, to help them cope with cancer as a disease and its impact on their mental wellbeing.
Limitations.
The frequency of female patients in our research was higher than those of male patients.
