Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to assess emotional distress in women undergoing radiotherapy for breast cancer using a Visual Analogue Scale and a Needs Scale to identify those needing psychological support.
- The research involved 277 women, finding that 40% experienced significant psychological distress (scores of 3 or higher), while over 80% scored below 10 on the Needs Scale, indicating lower levels of expressed needs.
- The findings emphasize the importance of recognizing and addressing emotional challenges in breast cancer patients and suggest using simple assessment tools to enhance comprehensive care.
