Impact of disclosure and nondisclosure of diagnosis on anxiety, depression and illness perceptions in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma
To investigate how disclosure and nondisclosure of diagnosis affect anxiety
depression and illness perceptions in Chinese patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods
2
Patients with early/intermediate stage HCC admitted for potentially curative operations in
a
teaching hospital were recruited. According to whether they were informed of the diagnosis before discharge
the patients were divided into disclosure group and nondisclosure group and assessed for anxiety
depression and illness perceptions at admission
at discharge and at one month after discharge. The uninformed patients were interviewed for whether and how they had known the actual diagnosis at one month after discharge.
Results
2
A
total of 285 patients were recruited in this study
and 52.6% of them were informed of their cancer diagnosis before discharge (disclosure group). The incidence of anxiety declined gradually with time in the disclosure group and tented to increase in the nondisclosure group during the study period; The in
cidence of anxiety was significantly higher in the nondisclosure group than in the disclosure group both at discharge (
P
=0.045) and at one month after discharge (
P
=0.001). The incidence of depression was the highest at discharge and decreased significantly at one month after discharge in the disclosure group
but increased progressively over time in the nondisclosure group; The incidence of depression was significantly higher at discharge (
P
=0.043) but significantly lower at one month after discharge (
P
=0.039) in the disclosure group than in the nondisclosure group. The patients in the disclosure group had higher scores for understanding of the illness (
P
<
0.001) and personal control (
P
<
0.001) but had lower scores for emotional impact (
P
=0.001) at one month after discharge. Multivariate analysis showed that disclosure of diagnosis was negatively correlated with emotional impact (
P
<
0.001). At 1 month after discharge
84.4% of the patients in the nondisclosure group had been in the knowledge of their cancer diagnosis
mainly by reading the medical records.
Conclusion
2
For patients with early/intermediate stage HCC
disclosure of the diagnosis is beneficial to promote their emotional adjustment and more positive illness perceptions.
