Abstract:
Objective To investigate the quality of life (QOL) of cervical cancer patients and its influential factors as well as to explore the method for improving the QOL in this population of patients. MethodsA QOL questionnaire for uterus cervical cancer (QOL-UCC) was designed and used in a survey of 81 UCC patients before they got any treatment and 124 UCC patients after they were treated for a period of time. SPSS 9.0 software was used to analyze data. ResultsThe patients got poor score with psychological status items(2.11? 0.34 ) before treatment, while those who had been treated for a period of time got poor score with social characteristics items(2.01? 0.33 ), especially with the work(1.87)and sexuality (1.00) items. Economic status of the patients, unsuccessful control of progress of the disease and recurrence were the main influential factors of the QOL in the UCC patients. ConclusionPsychosocial factors play very important roles in QOL of the UCC patients. As a result, psychosocial interventions should be stressed in the rehabilitation of this population of patients.
