Type: article

Abstract: : Breast cancer presents a threat to women who experience stress. Stress can cause anxiety, depression and even deregulate autonomic functioning. Objective: to evaluate the relationship between autonomic symptoms and levels of anxiety and depression reported by women with breast cancer. Method: application of the Autonomic Symptom Profile (ASP) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) to 59 women. Results: We found that 49% and 24% of women obtained scores from moderate to severe anxiety and depression, respectively. Pearson correlation analysis found a positive correlation in secretory symptoms, bladder symptoms and sleep disturbances, as well as total ASP score with scores of HADS. In addition, a positive correlation between symptoms of anxiety and depression was found. Conclusion: autonomic manifestations are associated with affective symptoms, thereby signaling the need for a psychophysiological approach to integrate affective and autonomic symptoms.
