Distress thermometer problem list and distress and depression in psycho-oncology
The findings emphasise the importance of addressing problem load as a contributor to distress and depression among patients with cancer. While problem load was associated with patient characteristics, further investigation is needed to understand how these characteristics may influence distress and depression directly. Interventions should focus on reducing problem load to improve psychological well-being.
