Article Synopsis
- Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy experience a high rate of depression, which can negatively impact treatment outcomes and quality of life, with a prevalence of 70.86% reported in a study conducted in Northwest Ethiopia.
- The study used a cross-sectional design with 302 cancer patients, assessing depression through the PHQ-9 questionnaire and analyzing various factors affecting depression using binary and multivariable logistic regression.
- Key factors linked to depression included lower educational status, unemployment, being underweight, and longer chemotherapy duration, suggesting that addressing these issues could help reduce depression among cancer patients.
