Objective To investigate the relationship between anxiety and depression and quality of life in patients with upper extremity lymphedema after breast cancer surgery so as to provide scientific basis for improving their quality of life.Methods A total of 71 patients with upper extremity lymphedema after breast cancer surgery in our hospital were selected by convenient sampling method.General data questionnaire,hospital anxiety and depression scale(HADS)and functional assessment of cancer therapy-breast quality of life instrument(FACT-B)were used for the survey.Results Among the 71 patients,36.62%had borderline or obvious anxiety,and 33.80%had borderline or obvious depression.The quality of life score was(95.27±20.14),which was at a moderately high level.The anxiety and depression were negatively correlated with quality of life and all dimensions except breast cancer additional concerns subscale(P<0.05).Conclusions Anxiety and depression in patients with lymphedema after breast cancer surgery are at a higher level and their quality of life needs to be improved.The more serious the anxiety and depression,the worse the quality of life.It is suggested that clinical medical staff should reasonably construct a tertiary prevention system of upper extremity lymphedema after breast cancer surgery and work out a psychological intervention scheme of multidisciplinary team after breast cancer surgery,so as to reduce anxiety and depression and improve the quality of life of patients.
