Anxiety after an abnormal screening mammogram is a serious problem
چکیده انگلیسی

PurposeThe aim of this study was to analyze the possible negative psychological consequences of a false positive screening mammogram (FPSM). We compared anxiety evoked by first (FSM) versus repeat screening mammogram (RSM). Questionnaires were completed prior to the diagnosis and during follow up.ResultsNo differences in anxiety, depressive symptoms, and Quality of Life (QoL) were found between FSM (N = 186) or RSM (N = 296) groups. All women experienced high anxiety before diagnosis was known. High trait anxiety was predictive for more anxiety, depressive symptoms, and lower QoL. Women with low score on trait anxiety were more momentary anxious in FSM group compared with RSM group (p = 0.048).ConclusionNegative psychological consequences after an FPSM are seen in all women. These effects are strengthened by personality and timing of the screening mammogram.All women should receive correct information concerning the negative psychological effects and should be offered psychosocial support if needed.
