Abstract: Objective: Adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer have high rates of psychological distress and unmet support needs. Peace of mind is an important construct among older cancer patients and parents of children with cancer but has not been explored in AYAs. We sought to evaluate the extent to which AYAs with cancer experience peace of mind and to identify factors associated with greater peace of mind.Methods: We surveyed 193 AYAs with cancer aged 15 to 29 years within 12 weeks of diagnosis; 137 patients completed the same measures again 4 and 12 months after diagnosis. Patients were asked to report peace of mind, measured using items from the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness, Spiritual Well-being scale (FACIT-Sp); anxiety and depression, using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS); and experiences surrounding medical communication and decision making.Results: Mean scores for peace of mind were 3.59 at diagnosis (range 1-5, standard deviation 0.84), with similar scores at 4 (3.53, P = .34) and 12 (3.59, P = .94) months. In a multivariable model adjusted for age and gender, patients who reported receiving high-quality information about their cancer had greater peace of mind at diagnosis (β = .25, P = .03), whereas those who reported holding a passive role in treatment decision making (β = -.47, P < .0001) or who had anxiety (β = -.64, P = .0003) or depression (β = -.51, P = .04) had lower peace of mind.Conclusion: Peace of mind did not improve significantly over time for AYAs with cancer. While high-quality communication may be associated with heightened peace of mind, further study is needed to clarify relationships between peace of mind and other psychological variables.
