Higher perceived stress (OR 1.28; p=0.006) and poorer spiritual well-being (OR 0.84; p=0.006) were significantly associated with a high-symptom profile among prostate cancer survivors.

What are the symptom profiles and associated factors among prostate cancer survivors?
Prostate cancer survivors can be classified into high- and low-symptom groups, with higher stress and poorer spiritual well-being associated with higher symptom burden and worse quality of life.
Odds Ratio: 1.28
valor p: p=0.006
OBJECTIVES: To identify symptom profiles (e.g., fatigue, sleep disturbance, depression, anxiety, cognitive impairment) among prostate cancer survivors, examine factors associated with the identified symptom profiles, and compare quality-of-life outcomes. SAMPLE p = 0.006), poorer spiritual well-being (OR = 0.84; p = 0.006), and lower household income (OR = 0.12; p = 0.089) were associated with being classified into the high-symptom group. Patients in the high-symptom group reported worse quality of life across all domains (p < 0.05). IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING: Prostate cancer survivors experience varying degrees of symptom severity. Understanding the symptom profiles and associated factors can inform nurses about patients in need of symptom management and targeted interventions.
An et al. (Tue,) conducted a observational in Prostate cancer (n=98). Higher perceived stress vs. Lower perceived stress was evaluated on Classification into the high-symptom group (OR 1.28, p=0.006). Higher perceived stress (OR 1.28; p=0.006) and poorer spiritual well-being (OR 0.84; p=0.006) were significantly associated with a high-symptom profile among prostate cancer survivors.
