Characteristics and subtypes of depressive symptoms in Chinese female breast cancer patients of different ages: a cross-sectional study

Purpose: To identify the characteristics and subtypes of depressive symptoms and explore the relationship between depressive subtypes and age among Chinese female breast cancer patients. Method: In this cross-sectional study, 566 breast cancer patients were recruited from three tertiary compreh...

Method: In this cross-sectional study, 566 breast cancer patients were recruited from three tertiary comprehensive hospital in Shandong Province, China through convenient sampling from April 2013 to June 2019. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). Data analyses included descriptive analyses, latent class analysis. Results: There were significant differences in specific depressive symptoms by age group, but no significant difference in total scores on PHQ-9. The depressive subtypes were severe (Class 4), relatively severe (Class 3; with lower psychomotor agitation/retardation and suicidal ideation), moderate (Class 2; with higher psychomotor agitation/retardation and suicidal ideation), and mild depressive symptoms (Class 1). The distribution of depression subtypes is different in various age groups. In the 45–59 age groups, severe symptoms subtype showed the highest ratios (i.e. 50.3%). Conclusion: This is the first study that analyses depressive symptom characteristics and identifies depressive subtypes in Chinese women with breast cancer across ages to explore symptom heterogeneity. Our findings can contribute to identifying the mechanisms behind these relationships and developing targeted interventions for patients with specific depressive subtypes.Yanyan LiHong Liu Yaoyao SunJie LiYanhong Chen Xuan ZhangJuan WangLiuliu WuDi ShaoFenglin CaoAIMS Pressarticlebreast cancerdepressive symptomslatent class analysisheterogeneitychinaage groupsPublic aspects of medicineRA1-1270ENAIMS Public Health, Vol 8, Iss 4, Pp 691-703 (2021)
