Exploring the Psychosocial Issues in Brain Cancer Patients during Initial Treatment Stages

Introduction: Brain cancer patients suffer severe damage and deterioration to their mental and emotional well-being, which leads to various psychosocial concerns such as isolation, hopelessness, and fear. This process of diagnosing and providing treatment generates more such tensions by intruding into the patients’ support mechanisms and management techniques. To investigate the patient’s brain cancer with psychosocial issues during the early stages of treatment. It attempts to identify factors such as psychological, social, and emotional domains that could hinder their overall well-being and response to treatment. Methods: Data was collected from 60 patients with brain cancer using a validated psychometric survey at baseline and follow-up for their psychosocial experiences during initial treatment. In the early stages of their therapy, brain cancer patients have their anxiety levels, depression levels, quality of life, social support, and coping strategies evaluated. The analysis was conducted by using SPSS software, incorporating descriptive statistics, the t-tests for independent samples and multiple linear regressions to evaluate demographic differences and predictors of psychosocial outcomes. Result: The research highlights the influence of demographic characteristics on the mental health of brain cancer patients by revealing considerable psychosocial issues it experienced throughout the early phases of therapy. Conclusion: The results demonstrate the significance of focused intervention strategies to deal with these problems and enhance patient outcomes, which are neutral such as anxiety level- 50%, depression level-40%, quality of life-45%, social support-50% and coping strategies – 55%. The research emphasizes the significant psychological difficulties that patients with brain tumors face during early stages of their therapy.

Abstract

Introduction: Brain cancer patients suffer severe damage and deterioration to their mental and emotional well-being, which leads to various psychosocial concerns such as isolation, hopelessness, and fear. This process of diagnosing and providing treatment generates more such tensions by intruding into the patients’ support mechanisms and management techniques. To investigate the patient’s brain cancer with psychosocial issues during the early stages of treatment. It attempts to identify factors such as psychological, social, and emotional domains that could hinder their overall well-being and response to treatment. Methods: Data was collected from 60 patients with brain cancer using a validated psychometric survey at baseline and follow-up for their psychosocial experiences during initial treatment. In the early stages of their therapy, brain cancer patients have their anxiety levels, depression levels, quality of life, social support, and coping strategies evaluated. The analysis was conducted by using SPSS software, incorporating descriptive statistics, the t-tests for independent samples and multiple linear regressions to evaluate demographic differences and predictors of psychosocial outcomes. Result: The research highlights the influence of demographic characteristics on the mental health of brain cancer patients by revealing considerable psychosocial issues it experienced throughout the early phases of therapy. Conclusion: The results demonstrate the significance of focused intervention strategies to deal with these problems and enhance patient outcomes, which are neutral such as anxiety level- 50%, depression level-40%, quality of life-45%, social support-50% and coping strategies – 55%. The research emphasizes the significant psychological difficulties that patients with brain tumors face during early stages of their therapy.
