Article Abstract
Objective: This study aims to investigate the psychological distress and its influencing factors in patients with biliary tract malignant tumors, alongside the development of a predictive model.
Methods: A total of 219 patients diagnosed with biliary tract malignant tumors who were admitted to the Department of Liver Surgery at Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from July 2021 to May 2023, were selected using a convenience sampling method. Research tools involve psychological distress management screening tools, a demographic questionnaire, self-rating anxiety and depression scales, and the Chinese version of the Memorial Symptom Assessment Scale. Bootstrap method was utilized for repeated sampling to identify relevant factors influencing psychological distress in biliary tract cancer patients. The R software was employed to create a nomogram model, and the model's accuracy and predictive performance were assessed using the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) and the Hosmer-Lemeshow test.
Results: The average score of psychological distress among the 219 patients was (3.91 ± 2.44), with a psychological distress detection rate of 54.8%. Regression model results indicated that factors such as the presence of distant metastasis, comorbidity with other major diseases, poor sleep quality, anxiety, and severity of anxiety and depression were the primary influencers of psychological distress.
Conclusion: The detection rate of psychological distress in patients with biliary tract malignant tumors is notably high. The predictive model constructed in this study exhibits good predictive efficacy and clinical value, providing valuable reference for healthcare professionals in developing targeted intervention strategies.

Background: Palliative sedation refers to the proportional use of titrated medication which reduces consciousness with the aim of relieving refractory suffering related to physical and psychological symptoms and/or existential distress near the end of life. Palliative sedation is intended to be an end of life option that enables healthcare professionals to provide good patient care but there remains controversy on how it is used. Little is known about decision-making processes regarding this procedure.

This article aims to highlight high-quality observational and intervention studies focused on promoting psychological well-being among cardiac arrest (CA) survivors and their families. Following CA, many patients experience significant psychological distress, including depression, generalized anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. Recent studies indicate that this distress can narrow patients' focus, resulting in heightened awareness of cardiac signals-such as fluctuations in heart rate or blood pressure-that lead to constant monitoring and increased anxiety.
