Associations Between Demographic, Clinical, and Symptom Characteristics and Stress in Oncology Patients Receiving Chemotherapy
Conclusion
Clinicians need to assess for global stress, cancer-specific stress, and depression in patients receiving chemotherapy.
Implications for Practice
Patients may benefit from integrative interventions (eg, mindfulness-based stress reduction, cognitive behavioral therapy, acupuncture) that simultaneously address stress and symptoms commonly associated with cancer and its treatments.
