Demoralization and Associated Factors in Palliative Oncology Outpatients: A Cross‐Sectional Study
Overview
This cross-sectional study examines the frequency and co-occurrence of demoralization and adjustment disorder among palliative oncology outpatients. The authors report that approximately half of the participants screened positive for demoralization, with a high rate of overlap with adjustment disorder symptoms. The resource discusses these findings in the context of shared adaptive disruptions while noting that demoralization may represent a distinct existential dimension of distress.
