背景:关于生活质量(QoL)的研究很少,功能状态,以及与阿拉伯地区癌症诊断和治疗有关的创伤症状,尤其是在巴勒斯坦,癌症患者的心理问题往往被忽视。目的:该研究的目的是评估在伯利恒Beit-Jala政府医院就诊的成年女性癌症患者的QoL和创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)症状。方法:2015年4月4日至2015年7月底招募参与者。样本包括在伯利恒Beit-Jala政府医院就诊的253名女性癌症患者。使用自我报告问卷收集数据,包括一份社会人口数据表,欧洲癌症研究和治疗组织生活质量问卷核心30和创伤后应激障碍症状检查表。结果:目前的研究显示女性癌症患者的总体生活质量(57.4%)和身体功能差(48.5%)。失眠,疲劳,食欲不振是参与者抱怨的最麻烦的症状。PTSD症状的患病率为3%。关于创伤后应激障碍症状的严重程度,2%的人报告了严重的症状,23.3%报告有中度症状,(68.8%)报告症状轻微,基于1991年PTSD症状严重程度评分的分类。最后,皮尔森的测试揭示了一个强大的,统计显著,QoL域与PTSD成反比关系。结论:研究发现,女性癌症患者的总体QoL较低,并且与PTSD症状密切相关。提示早期发现和治疗这些症状至关重要。
创伤后应激障碍在癌症患者中的诊断越来越多,除了生活质量低。文献显示,巴勒斯坦缺乏评估女性癌症患者这些问题的研究。进行了一项横断面研究,包括253名癌症患者,使用三份自我报告问卷。失业情况和应对策略(但不包括社会人口统计学和工作变量)与班级成员资格有关。
Background: Little research has been conducted on the quality of life (QoL), functional status, and traumatic symptoms related to the diagnosis and treatment of cancer in the Arab region, particularly in Palestine, where the psychological problems in patients with cancer are often neglected.Objective: The aim of the
study was to assess QoL and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms among adult female patients with cancer attending Beit-Jala Governmental Hospital in Bethlehem.Method: Participants were recruited from 4 April 2015 to the end of July 2015. The sample included 253 female patients with cancer attending Beit-Jala Governmental Hospital in Bethlehem. Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires, including a socio-demographic data sheet, the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30, and the post-traumatic stress disorder checklist for PTSD symptoms.Results: The current
study showed poor global QoL (57.4%) and poor physical function (48.5%) for female patients with cancer. Insomnia, fatigue, and loss of appetite were the most troublesome symptoms that the participants complained about. The prevalence of PTSD symptoms was 3%. Regarding PTSD symptom severity, 2% reported severe symptoms, 23.3% reported moderate symptoms, and (68.8%) reported mild symptoms, based on a 1991 classification of PTSD symptom severity scores. Finally, Pearson\'s test revealed a strong, statistically significant, inverse relationship between QoL domains and PTSD.Conclusion: The
study found that the overall QoL of female patients with cancer was low and strongly associated with PTSD symptoms, suggesting that early detection and treatment of these symptoms is critical.
Post-traumatic stress disorder is being increasingly diagnosed among patients with cancer, in addition to low quality of life.The literature reveals a lack of studies in Palestine assessing these problems in female patients with cancer.A cross-sectional
study including 253 patients with cancer using three self-reported questionnaires was conducted.Job loss circumstances and coping strategies (but not socio-demographic and work variables) were associated with class membership.
