“…However, only general health scores increased significantly. Contrary to our findings, an analysis of the QOL of 40 patients with colorectal cancer showed that the physical and psychological scores after CT decreased significantly 26 . Boery 27 also used the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire to assess the QOL of patients with lung neoplasms before and after CT and found that psychological scores decreased significantly.…”

Rev. Nutr., Campinas, 23 (5) A B S T R A C T ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the influence of nutritional status on the quality of life of a cohort of cancer patients submitted to chemotherapy. MethodsPatients receiving chemotherapy for the first time in a University Hospital in Pelotas (RS), Brazil, were evaluated prospectively. Their nutritional risk was determined by the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment scores and their quality of life by the World Health Organization's quality of life questionnaire, administered at the beginning and end of the study. ResultsOne hundred and forty-three patients were studied, 76.2% being females. The prevalence of malnutrition at baseline was 14.0%. The present study found that malnourished patients had a poor quality of life. The nutritional risk of 41.6% of the patients increased after chemotherapy. A significant association was found between the presence of symptoms and increased nutritional risk (p<0.001). Additionally, there was a significant negative correlation between physical domain and nutritional risk scores, showing that quality of life increases as nutritional risk decreases.

A prática regular de atividade física promove uma série de benefícios que vão além da esfera física. A qualidade de vida, segundo diversas fontes, diz respeito ao grau de satisfação de um indivíduo com os múltiplos aspectos da sua vida. As pessoas portadoras de deficiência física podem apresentar níveis de sedentarismo elevados, influenciando de forma decisiva na percepção de sua qualidade de vida. aBStRaCtThe positive effects of regular physical activity practice are not restricted to physical well being. Quality of life regards the overall sense of well-being of an individual in relation to the multiple aspects of his/her life. People with special needs may present high levels of sedentarism, which has a remarkable influence on their self-perceived quality of life. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to assess the effect of 12 weeks of physical activity practice on the perception of the quality of life of individuals with special needs. 20 male individuals with physical disabilities participated in the study. They were divided into two groups, Sedentary and Active. The instruments used were a questionnaire on demographic data and the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-Brief ). Mean age of the volunteers was 38.1 years, they were single, had not finished elementary school and lived in their own house. Most of them had poliomyelitis. The Active group presented higher scores in all domains of the instrument (physical, psychological, social and environmental). The results obtained in the present study showed that the quality of life of Active people with special needs was better than that of the Sedentary ones. Consequently, we strongly recommend that people with physical disabilities be encouraged to participate in physical and/or sports activity programs regularly.

“…O objetivo do projeto foi construir um conceito e instrumentos que possuíssem uma abordagem transcultural e que contemplassem três aspectos referentes ao constructo qualidade de vida: subjetividade (percepção do indivíduo sobre sua vida); multidimensionalidade (o construto abrange várias dimensões da vida); e presença de elementos de avaliação tanto positivos quanto negativos 6,7 . No Brasil, a qualidade de vida tem sido pesquisada, especialmente, em condições crônicas de saúde-doença [8][9][10][11][12] e como adjuvante na análise de intervenções terapêu-ticas 13 . Estudos com pessoas que sofreram lesão da medula espinhal praticamente inexistem.…”
