背景肿瘤会引发抑郁和对死亡的焦虑，因为它们可能是晚期。然而，抑郁症和时间洞察力之间的关系在危及生命的疾病患者仍然不清楚。在这项研究中，我们使用投射方法，即，参与者（40名抑郁症患者，Dp; 35名非抑郁症患者，NDp;和40名健康的非抑郁症对照，NDc）在手术前后进行时间洞察力和抑郁自评量表的圆圈测试。使用传统指标分析圆形测试数据，即，时间优势和相关性，以及新的测量，即，结果虽然传统的指标没有显示出差异，但新的测量结果在Dp，NDp和NDc组之间存在差异。Dp组的整体时间视角小于NDc组;此外，与NDp组相比，Dp组的未来和过去视角的比例分别较高和较低。局限性脑肿瘤患者和抑郁对照组无法进行比较，因为没有健康对照组抑郁。脑肿瘤患者和健康对照之间的抑郁相关的时间观念的变化的差异应在未来的study.ConclusionsDepressed脑肿瘤患者可能会遇到的变化，时间观念根据我们的新的测量结果，这可能会发挥重要作用，在治疗依从性。
BackgroundTumors trigger both depression and anxiety about death because they can be terminal. However, the relationship between depression and time perspective in patients with life-threatening diseases remains unclear. In this study, we examined the effects of depression on time perspective in patients with brain tumors using a projective method, i.e., the Circle Test.MethodsParticipants (40 depressed patients, Dp; 35 non-depressed patients, NDp; and 40 healthy non-depressed controls, NDc) were administered the Circle Test of time perspectives and self-rating depression scales before and after surgery. The Circle Test data were analyzed using traditional indices, i.e., time dominance and relatedness, and novel measurements, i.e., time area and proportion.ResultsAlthough the traditional indices showed no differences, the results for the novel measurements differed among the Dp, NDp, and NDc groups. The overall time perspective was smaller in the Dp group than in the NDc group; furthermore, the proportions of the future and past perspectives were higher and lower, respectively, in the Dp group compared to the NDp group.LimitationsPatients with brain tumors and depressed controls could not be compared, because no healthy control was depressed. Differences in depression-related changes in time perspective between patients with brain tumors and healthy controls should be examined in future studies.ConclusionsDepressed patients with brain tumors may experience changes in time perspectives according to the results for our novel measurements, and this might play an important role in treatment adherence.
