Objective: To evaluate whether the coronavirus disease 2019 has increased anxiety, depression, and distress levels in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients undergoing radiotherapy (RT). Methods: In this cross-sectional study, RT-HNC patients were surveyed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) for anxiety and depression and the distress thermometer (DT) for distress. HADS scores were compared with data pre-COVID-19. Additionally, we evaluated the COVID-19 impact on daily routines, treatment, and cancer care through a questionnaire. Results: Fifty patients were included. The HADS mean score and estimated rates were 4.34 (+/- 4.06)/22% for anxiety and 5.08 (+/- 4.82)/22% for depression; in comparison, our historical control had 4.04 (+/- 3.59)/20% for anxiety (p = .79) and 4.03 (+/- 3.62)/17% for depression (p = .49). Mean DT score was 3.68 (+/- 2.77). Responders were aware of COVID-19, afraid of having medical complications, believed it was life-threatening, did not miss appointments, believed their treatment was not impacted, and felt safe at the hospital amid the pandemic. Conclusion: This study suggests that anxiety, depression, and distress levels found in RT-HNC patients did not increase during the pandemic. Patients were afraid of being infected by COVID-19; however, they complied with their cancer treatment. (AU) | |
