        abstract = {Introduction: Anxiety is a psychological state marked by tension, instability, fear, and anticipation of danger, often triggered by internal factors. In cancer patients, it can significantly impact emotional well-being. Depression, another common mental health condition among individuals with cancer, is characterized by persistent low mood and a diminished interest or pleasure in daily activities. Cancer itself results from the uncontrolled proliferation of abnormal cells within specific areas of the body.
Aim of the Study: This study was conducted to evaluate the levels of anxiety and depression among cancer patients attending a selected oncology centre.
Methodology: A quantitative research approach was adopted using a descriptive, non-experimental design. Thirty participants were selected through a non-probability purposive sampling method. A standardized questionnaire was employed to measure the levels of anxiety and depression in the study population.
Results: Findings from the study indicated that among the 30 participants, the chi-square analysis showed no statistically significant differences in anxiety and depression levels based on demographic variables such as age, gender, religion, family type, educational background, marital status, occupation, monthly income, and social support (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: The study concluded by rejecting the research hypothesis (HI), affirming that there is no significant association between anxiety and depression levels and the selected demographic factors among cancer patients.},
