Anxiety and fear of cancer recurrence and its association with supportive care needs and health-care service utilization in cancer patients

Purpose and methods We investigated the relationship between fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), anxiety, supportive care needs, and utilization of health-care services in a mixed sample of 335 cancer patients. We used validated questionnaires including the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form...

description Purpose and methods We investigated the relationship between fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), anxiety, supportive care needs, and utilization of health-care services in a mixed sample of 335 cancer patients. We used validated questionnaires including the Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP-Q-SF), the General Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) and the Supportive Care Needs Survey (SCNS-SF34). Health-care services utilization was measured by a self-constructed questionnaire recording the use of 22 health and supportive care offers. Results In our sample, 3.9 % of patients were classified as having high anxiety and 5.1 % had high FCR. Patients reported the highest unmet supportive care needs in the domain health system and information followed by psychological needs. Integrated care and complementary support services were the most frequently used (32 %) followed by medical (31 %), psychological (23 %), spiritual and religious (8 %) and other support services (9 %). Whereas anxiety was related to both unmet psychological and physical/daily living needs ( p

However, higher levels of anxiety and FCR were not related to higher utilization of health-care services. Conclusion Our findings show that FCR plays a significant role in unmet supportive care needs in cancer patients but not for health-care service utilization. Implications for Cancer Survivors We recommend that clinicians monitor supportive care needs in patients struggling with FCR and anxiety.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1932-2259</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1932-2267</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s11764-015-0434-2</identifier><identifier>PMID: 25676473</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>New York: Springer US</publisher><subject>Adolescent ; Adult ; Aged ; Aged, 80 and over ; Anxiety ; Anxiety - epidemiology ; Anxiety - therapy ; Cancer ; Cross-Sectional Studies ; Fear &amp; phobias ; Fear - psychology ; Female ; Health Informatics ; Health Promotion and Disease Prevention ; Health Services - utilization ; Health Services Needs and Demand - statistics &amp; numerical data ; Humans ; Male ; Medicine ; Medicine &amp; Public Health ; Middle Aged ; Neoplasms - pathology ; Neoplasms - psychology ; Neoplasms - therapy ; Oncology ; Palliative Care ; Primary Care Medicine ; Psychotherapy ; Public Health ; Quality of Life Research ; Recurrence ; Surveys and Questionnaires ; Survivor ; Survivors ; Young Adult</subject><ispartof>Journal of cancer survivorship, 2015-12, Vol.9 (4), p.567-575</ispartof><rights>Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c442t-deaac3d1b99e16d82023eeedb1dddcf686c4829b8e176e1a076086be6b5f17c83</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c442t-deaac3d1b99e16d82023eeedb1dddcf686c4829b8e176e1a076086be6b5f17c83</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,27924,27925</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25676473$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Sarkar, Susanne</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Sautier, Leon</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Schilling, Georgia</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Bokemeyer, Carsten</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Koch, Uwe</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Mehnert, Anja</creatorcontrib><title>Anxiety and fear of cancer recurrence and its association with supportive care needs and health-care service utilization in cancer patients</title><title>Journal of cancer survivorship</title><addtitle>J Cancer Surviv</addtitle><addtitle>J Cancer Surviv</addtitle><description>Purpose and methods We investigated the relationship between fear of cancer recurrence (FCR), anxiety, supportive care needs, and utilization of health-care services in a mixed sample of 335 cancer patients.
