Women with gynecologic cancer, low income report increased anxiety during COVID-19 pandemic: Study

A recent study provides insights on the COVID-19 pandemic's effects on employment, anxiety and financial distress among women who have gynecologic cancer and low income.

Among the major findings: 1.

31 per cent of patients reported being employed prior to the pandemic, and 21 per cent had a change in employment status due to the pandemic.

2.

50 per cent of patients reported that they felt more financial stress since the start of the pandemic, and 54 per cent reported that they worry about future financial problems due to the pandemic.3.

49 per cent of patients expressed increased anxiety about cancer since the start of the pandemic, and 83 per cent expressed feeling increased anxiety in general.

Having an income of less than USD 40,000 per year was the most common factor associated with increased financial distress, cancer worry, and anxiety.

Early-stage cancer (stage I-II) was also a risk factor for increased financial distress.
