Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Head and neck cancer (HNC) patients are at an increased risk for experiencing depression and adverse mental health symptoms caused by disease and treatment burden. While head and neck surgeons are encouraged to screen for depression, this is rarely incorporated into practice, and patients' interest in their surgeon mental health involvement is not well understood.
METHODS: A 29-item survey was developed to assess patient demographic and clinical factors, mental health history, and beliefs regarding potential treatment or prophylactic measures.
RESULTS: 122 individuals completed the survey. 35 (29 %) self-reported receiving a depression diagnosis after HNC diagnosis or treatment, however, only 18 (15 %) reported undergoing depression screening. More than half of respondents wanted their head and neck surgeon to take a more active role in addressing their mental health concerns. Most respondents were either interested in or neutral towards receiving prophylactic anti-depressants prior to head and neck cancer treatment.
CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: Results from our survey reveal that patients are interested in more interventions and care related to their mental health from their head and neck surgeons.
