Large-scale epidemiological data across diverse cancer types are scarce. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and to identify socio-demographic and psychosocial correlates in a large, unselected outpatient cohort.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S2045796026101085_sec2b\">\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>In this cross-sectional study, 4,103 adult outpatients with solid tumours or haematologic malignancies were screened during routine care using the PTSS-8-Cancer scale. Socio-demographic, clinical and psychosocial variables were collected concurrently. Associations between screening results and patient characteristics were examined using correlational and chi-square analyses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S2045796026101085_sec3c\" sec-type=\"results\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Overall, 32.5% screened positive for probable PTSD. Prevalence was highest in breast cancer (39.7%), female genital cancers (37.2%) and head and neck cancers (36.1%). A positive screening for PTSD was more common among women, younger patients, those with lower income, without a partner and with a history of psychiatric illness. While these associations were statistically significant, effect sizes were generally small.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"S2045796026101085_sec4d\" sec-type=\"conclusions\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>One in three cancer outpatients experience substantial PTSS, with elevated prevalence in certain diagnostic groups. Small effect sizes for socio-demographic predictors underscore that psychological distress is broadly distributed. Findings support universal psychosocial screening and integration of trauma-informed care into oncology services to address a significant, population-level mental health burden.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/s2045796026101085","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,13]],"date-time":"2026-10-13T05:35:01Z","timestamp":1791869701000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Post-traumatic stress in cancer patients: prevalence and psychosocial correlates"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"35","author":[{"given":"Amelie","family":"Fuchs","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical University of Vienna, Vienna"},{"name":"Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences, Krems"},{"name":"Department of Clinical and Health Psychology, Faculty of Psychology, University of Vienna, Vienna"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0625-500X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elisabeth Lucia","family":"Zeilinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical University of Vienna, Vienna"},{"name":"Karl Landsteiner University of Health Sciences, Krems"},{"name":"Department of Clinical and Health Psychology, Faculty of Psychology, University of Vienna, Vienna"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0632-0673","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matthias","family":"Knefel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical University of Vienna, Vienna"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Timon","family":"Wnendt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Health Psychology, Faculty of Psychology, University of Vienna, Vienna"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Matthias","family":"Unseld","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Research SBG, Academy for Ageing Research, Haus der Barmherzigkeit, Vienna"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rupert","family":"Bartsch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oncology, Department of Medicine I, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thorsten","family":"F\u00fcreder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oncology, Department of Medicine I, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Markus","family":"Raderer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Oncology, Department of Medicine I, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Valent","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical University of Vienna, Vienna"},{"name":"Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Hematology and Oncology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander","family":"Gaiger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical University of Vienna, Vienna"},{"name":"Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Hematology and Oncology, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"S2045796026101085_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/20008198.2021.1904699"},{"key":"S2045796026101085_ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijchp.2023.100404"},{"key":"S2045796026101085_ref23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ijc.33960"},{"key":"S2045796026101085_ref26","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fpsyt.2021.632596"},{"key":"S2045796026101085_ref10","first-page":"401","volume-title":"Angstdiagnostik -
