This research study wants to understand why cervical cancer patients and their partners experience anxiety, depression, and stress—and what factors might help protect emotional wellbeing. Researchers will follow participants for up to 10 years after diagnosis, asking them to complete questionnaires about their emotional health, daily activities, and quality of life. A smaller group will also provide blood and hair samples, wear activity trackers, and share lifestyle information to help scientists understand the biological connections to emotional distress.
While cervical cancer treatment has improved survival rates, doctors know that many patients and their partners struggle with emotional distress during and after treatment. This study aims to identify what causes this distress and what protects people's mental health, so that doctors can better support patients and their loved ones.

You will complete questionnaires about your emotional health and quality of life at six points over 10 years: right after diagnosis, then at 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, and 10 years. Some participants will also wear activity trackers to monitor sleep and physical activity, keep a brief food diary for 3 days, and provide small blood and hair samples to measure inflammation and stress hormones at four time points during the first 2 years. The researchers will also access your medical records from the cancer registry to track your treatment and health outcomes.
