Qualidade de vida de pacientes com câncer de mama em terapia adjuvante

Abstract

RESUMOO objetivo do estudo foi avaliar a Qualidade de Vida (QV), identificar os domínios afetados em pacientes com câncer de mama em terapia adjuvante e correlacioná-los com características sócio-demográficas, clínicas e terapêuticas. Estudo transversal, realizado com 35 pacientes entre agosto de 2007 e dezembro de 2008. Utilizou-se o instrumento Quality of Life Core-30-Questionnaire (QLQ-C30). A Qualidade de Vida geral foi considerada pouco satisfatória. Os domínios afetados foram: função emocional, insônia, dor e fadiga. Nas correlações, as pacientes acima de 60 anos apresentaram pior escore na função emocional, as submetidas à cirurgia referiram mais constipação, as que realizavam radioterapia obtiveram pior escore para QV geral e as que estavam em quimioterapia há mais de seis ciclos apresentaram a função emocional afetada e dispnéia. Concluiu-se que os tratamentos adjuvantes afetaram de algum modo as pacientes, causando déficit na função emocional e relataram mais sintomas, prejudicando assim sua QV.Descritores: Qualidade de vida.
