The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of pain and its correlation with symptoms of post\u2010traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety and psychological distress in a large sample of cancer patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>From 2010 to 2019, cancer patients who received outpatient treatment at the Medical University of Vienna were assessed with the Post\u2010Traumatic Symptom Scale (PTSS\u201010) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scales. A visual analogue scale was used to assess pain perception. For statistical analysis, linear regression models were applied to log\u2010transformed data.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 846 cancer patients included in the study, 63.5% experienced pain (mild 43.5%, moderate 13.6%, severe 6.4%). About a third (31.2%) of the total sample presented with significant PTSD symptoms. Significant symptoms of depression, anxiety and distress were present in 13.9%, 15.1% and 25.3%, respectively. Women more often reported symptoms of PTSD, anxiety and distress. Pain scores were significantly related to symptoms of PTSD, depression and psychological distress (all with <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; .001), but not to anxiety.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Results show a high prevalence of experienced pain and indicate a clear association of elevated pain levels with psychiatric symptoms in oncological patients in a large Austrian sample. In order to decrease experienced pain and to enable better treatment of mental health problems in cancer patients, diagnostic procedures and interventions based on a biopsychosocial model need to be intensified.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/pon.5595","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,11,19]],"date-time":"2020-11-19T09:32:53Z","timestamp":1605778373000},"page":"504-510","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["Prevalence of pain and its association with symptoms of post\u2010traumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety and distress in 846 cancer patients: A cross sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"30","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1699-9846","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matthias","family":"Unseld","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine I Division of Palliative Medicine Medical University of Vienna  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elisabeth L.","family":"Zeilinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Psychology University of Vienna  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matth\u00e4us","family":"Fellinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Clinical Division of Social Psychiatry Medical University of Vienna  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Simone","family":"Lubowitzki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine I Division of Hematology and Hemostaseology Medical University of Vienna  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katharina","family":"Krammer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine I Division of Hematology and Hemostaseology Medical University of Vienna  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ingo W.","family":"Nader","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"IT Power Services GmbH  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Hafner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine I Division of Palliative Medicine Medical University of Vienna  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Kitta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine I Division of Palliative Medicine Medical University of Vienna  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Feroniki","family":"Adamidis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine I Division of Palliative Medicine Medical University of Vienna  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eva K.","family":"Masel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine I Division of Palliative Medicine Medical University of Vienna  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Preusser","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine I Division of Oncology Medical University of Vienna  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ulrich","family":"J\u00e4ger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine I Division of Hematology and Hemostaseology Medical University of Vienna  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Gaiger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine I Division of Hematology and Hemostaseology Medical University of Vienna  Vienna Austria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jpainsymman.2015.12.340"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apnu.2007.02.002"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/NJH.0000000000000507"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jamaoncol.2016.0483"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1470-2045(11)70002-X"},{"issue":"2","key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","first-page":"141","article-title":"Are we missing PTSD in our patients with cancer?
