Background/ ObjectivesThis study aimed to estimate the prevalence of depression and associated factors among cervical cancer patients attending tertiary center in Bhaktapur, Nepal. MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 140 women aged 35 years and above with cervical cancer who came for follow-up at Bhaktapur Cancer Hospital using Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression were performed to determine the association between depression and related variables at 95% confidence level. ResultsThe prevalence of depression was found to be 67.9% (95% CI: 57.5%-76.4%). Age (AOR: 1.3, 95% CI: 0.2-5.1), education of participants (AOR: 1.9, 95% CI: 0.5-7.8), education of husband (AOR: 2, 95% CI: 0.6-7.1) and alcohol consumption status of husband (AOR: 3.5, 95% CI: 1.1-11.8) were found to be the associated factors of depression in women with cervical cancer. ConclusionNearly seven in ten women with cervical cancer are found to be depressed.
