Cancer patients who underwent total laryngectomy experience significant stigmatization linked to anxiety and loneliness, not voice quality or gender. This impacts psychosocial adjustment post-surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Psychology
  • Speech-Language Pathology

Context:

  • Total laryngectomy for cancer significantly alters communication and social interaction.
  • Understanding the psychosocial impact of alaryngeal speech is crucial for patient care.
  • Perceived stigmatization is a key factor affecting quality of life after laryngectomy.

Purpose:

  • To investigate associations between perceived stigmatization and physical/social factors in total laryngectomy patients.
  • To examine the relationship between stigmatization, voice characteristics, mental health, and gender.
  • To identify factors influencing psychosocial adjustment after laryngectomy.

Summary:

  • Stigmatization in total laryngectomy patients correlates with anxiety and loneliness.

  • No significant association was found between stigmatization and speech intelligibility, alaryngeal voice type, or gender.
  • Psychosocial adjustment is frequently accompanied by anxiety and loneliness, irrespective of communication aids or time since surgery.

    • Impact:

    • Findings highlight the need for mental health support and interventions addressing anxiety and loneliness in laryngectomized individuals.
    • Results inform healthcare providers about the prevalence and correlates of stigmatization, guiding patient counseling.
    • This research contributes to a better understanding of the long-term psychosocial challenges faced by cancer survivors after laryngectomy.
