Title: Prevalence of Depression in Breast Cancer Patients and
it’s Association with their Quality of Life: A Cross-sectional
Observational Study
Journal: Indian Journal of Palliative Care
Year: 2017 Volume: 23 Issue: _________ Page: 268-273
Part 1: Article Information
Title
Is the title clear, accurate and unambiguous?
Yes, the title of the article is almost as per the objective of the
study. The only divergence is in the fact that the research ties to link
depression and a lowered quality of life associated with the conventional
treatment of cancer (like chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery),
instead of the disease itself. It also does not include other forms of
treatment like CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic
Repeats) CAS 9 genome editing technology, and other therapies like

pharmacotherapy and psychotherapies (Cong et al., 2013; Chisholm-
Burns, Wells & Schwinghammer., 2016; Fromm-Reichmann, 2015).
Is it clearly related to content and appropriate?
Yes, it is related since it shows the incidence of depression among
the sample population. It studies the psychological effects of conventional
treatment (mentioned above) for breast cancer.
Is it of appropriate length?
The title seems to be of appropriate length and it identifies the topic
clearly.
PICO?
P: Patients diagnosed with Breast Cancer
I: Incidence of depression and change in the quality of life.
C: Comparison of the study done by Hassan et al,. (2015) that showed a
relation between depression and cancer treatment, and how it negativey
affects the patient’s quality of life.
O: A positive correlation between depression and treatment of breast
cancer (Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, or a combination), and a
negative correlation to the quality of life.

The abstract clearly outlines background and the overview of the
study, highlighting the prevalence of breast cancer, and findings of the
depression screening among the sample population. It shows a relation
between cancer and depression, and its effect on the quality of life of the
patients.
Sample size: A sample size of 270 patients (above 18 years) diagnosed
with cancer have been selected.
Methodology: Depression was screened using Patient Health
Questionnaire 9 and International Classification of Diseases Research
Guidelines (10th edition). Quality of life and related domains were
measured using World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-
BREF) (Moriarty, Gilbody, McMillan, & Manea, 2015; Su, Ng, Yang, & Lin,
2014).
Finding: Poor quality of life and depression is common among patients
with breast cancer
Recommendations: Improvement in the sensitivity of depression
screening tests, and improves access to psychiatric services, allowing
prompt intervention (like psychosocial programs) and psychiatrist
referrals if needed.
Is it clearly presented and well-organized?
