About

The aim of the study is to use standardized questionnaires to systematically record influencing factors or predictors for suicidal behavior in glioblastoma patients, particularly with regard to existing depression and anxiety symptoms.

Full description

Treatment will be provided in accordance with guidelines as part of the study. If a patient decides to participate in the study and have given consent, he/she will undergo a study visit. In addition to a consultation with a physician ("medical history"), this includes a physical examination and the completion of questionnaires (Patient Health Questionnaire-8 to assess depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 to assess anxiety, Scale of Suicidal Experiences and Behavior to assess suicidality, EORTC-QLQ-30, and EORTC-QLQ BN-20 to assess health-related quality of life, and a short questionnaire on social support for chronic illnesses). If a need for psycho-oncological treatment is identified during the consultation (or during the examination itself) or expressed by the patient, a referral to the relevant specialist department will be arranged (if this has not already been done). Patient data used in the study is taken from the medical record (master data, diagnosis, therapy, MRIs, etc.) and from the study visit.
