Chien-Yu Hsu
Cathay General Hospital, Taiwan
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation and prediction of psychosocial distress and sleep quality
during the diagnosis of suspected colorectal abnormalities.
Method: This was a correlation study. A consecutive sample of 140 people from the Colorectal Surgery department clinics in a
medical center in the north of Taiwan participated in this study. They were at least 20 years old with colorectal abnormal foci or
positive in colorectal cancer screening, but no history of colorectal cancer. A structured questionnaire was used to investigate
the psychosocial distress and sleep quality during the diagnosis. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed with SPSS
20.0 software.
Results: The sample consisted of subjects with average age of 53.3 (±12.7). The majority of them had education of college
or higher, was married, worked currently; found colorectal abnormality from screening or health check and 67.9% had fine
colonoscopy for the first time. The people reported a psychosocial distress before the clinic consultation for diagnosis as a mean
of 2.44 (±2.53) on distress thermometer and of 3.31 (±3.53) on Brief Symptom Rating Scale. But, 3.5% of them reported mild to
moderate suicidal thought. The people also reported poor sleep quality with the total score of 6.54 (±3.84) on Pittsburgh Sleep
Quality Index and 52.1% had sleep disturbance. Multiple regression analysis showed that the level of education (β=1.434),
physical distress (β=1.457), psychosocial distress (β=0.353), fatigue degree (β=0.372) to predict the quality of sleep and can
explain 38.9% variance.
Implications for Practice: In the phase during the diagnosis of colorectal abnormal psychological state of society have an
impact; significantly influence the quality of sleep. Future for this population should be given care and psychosocial care during
the diagnosis, the patient can achieve physical and mental well-being of the state of society.
