“…Regarding the psychometric properties of the tools (CASQ and EORTC QLQ C-30), both had an appropriate fit for the study sample only after some modifications were made. Some studies ( 24 , 26 , 40 , 41 ) corroborated our results, pointing to the need for adjustments on these tools when applied to different samples.…”

Objective To estimate the dietary intake of cancer patients and its relation with clinical and demographic characteristics, and to assess the contribution of dietary intake, appetite/symptoms and clinical and demographic characteristics to their quality of life.Methods The consumption of energy and macronutrients of patients was estimated. The relation between dietary intake and clinical and demographic characteristics was evaluated by analysis of variance. The intake of energy and macronutrient of the patients was compared to the nutritional recommendations using 95% confidence interval. The Cancer Appetite and Symptom Questionnaire (CASQ) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC QLQ C-30) were used to assess appetite/symptoms and quality of life, respectively. The psychometric properties of the instruments were estimated. A structural equation model was prepared.Results In this study, 772 cancer patients (63.1% women) participated. There was a significant relation between dietary intake and work activity, economic class, specialty field of cancer, type of treatment and nutritional status. Patients’ energy and macronutrients intake was below recommended values. Both CASQ and EORTC QLQ C-30 were refined to fit the data. In the structural model, impaired appetite, more symptoms, presence of metastasis, being female and of higher economic classes were characteristics that significantly contributed to interfering in patients’ quality of life.Conclusion The dietary intake of oncology patients did not reach the recommended values. Different characteristics impacted on quality of life of patients and should be considered in clinical and epidemiological protocols.

“…The assumption was also made that the loss of dignity is negatively correlated with functional capacity, spirituality, and quality of life. In order to assess the association between loss of dignity and decreased functional capacity, the Karnofsky Performance Scale (20) , the FACIT-sp 12 scale (19) and the two items on quality of life of the QLQ-C30 were used (18) .…”

“…Two items from the Brazilian version of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 (EORTC-QLQ-C30) scale were used to assess overall selfperception of health and quality of life. The scores of these items vary from 1 to 7, with 1 being very poor health and quality of life and 7, excellent (18) .…”

Objective: to perform the psychometric validation of the Brazilian version of the Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI – Br) in patients with advanced diseases in palliative care. Method: a methodological study to verify the psychometric properties of the Patient Dignity Inventory (PDI – Br) instrument, through validity and reliability tests. Results: the exploratory factor analysis showed a factorial solution with three factors, responsible for 40.9% of the explained variance, with adequate internal consistency for the Presence of Symptoms (α=0.859), Dependence (α=0.871), and Existential Suffering (α=0.759) domains. The test-retest was performed and indicated moderate to strong correlations. Convergent validity demonstrated a positive correlation between the Presence of Symptoms and the sadness (r=0.443) and anxiety (r=0.464) variables. Weak negative correlations were observed between the PDI – Br domains and functionality, spiritual well-being and quality of life. Conclusion: composed of three domains and 25 items, the PDI – Br instrument presented satisfactory psychometric properties for its use in our environment, through the evidence of validity and reliability.

“…São inúmeras as repercussões negativas e vários os sintomas de impacto nutricional advindos do tratamento e/ou da própria doença 5 . Entre estes, podem ser citados os distúrbios no apetite, sendo a anorexia primária (no âmbito do sistema nervoso central) a causa mais comum da falta de apetite e da redução da ingestão de alimentos, especialmente àqueles submetidos à quimioterapia 6 .…”

Introdução: Estado nutricional, qualidade de vida relacionada a saúde (QVRS) e apetite preservados proporcionam maior sobrevida aos pacientes oncológicos. Suas oscilações são comuns durante o tratamento, mas pouco se conhece sobre os fatores interferentes na QVRS. Objetivo: Avaliar os fatores associados a QVRS de pacientes com câncer. Método: Estudo transversal com 110 pacientes com câncer em tratamento clínico. Foram coletadas as variáveis sociodemográficas, clínicas, QVRS, estado nutricional e apetite. Os instrumentos utilizados foram o European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30, a Avaliação Subjetiva Global (ASG) e o Cancer Appetite and Symptom Questionnaire. Para analise estatística, considerou-se o nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: A maioria era do sexo feminino (62,72%) com media de idade igual a 74,41±24,54 anos, casada (70,0%), sem atividade de trabalho (51,82%) e pertencente a classe econômica B (54,54%). O tipo de câncer mais prevalente nessa população foi o câncer de mama (30,0%), com estadiamento IV (34,44%) e ausência de metástases (53, 64%). O comprometimento do apetite foi identificado como fator associado a QVRS, apresentando diferença significativa na saúde global e na QV (p<0,001). A função emocional foi a mais prejudicada. A fadiga foi o sintoma que apresentou maior pontuação. Conclusão: O comprometimento do apetite apresentou associação com a saúde global e a QV dos pacientes em tratamento oncológico.
