“…An unexpected result of our study was the addition of the dimension resources . Even though resources/coping is important for disease management ( Doege et al, 2019 ; He et al, 2019 ; Lai et al, 2020 ), so far it is seldom connected to HrQoL measurements ( Ware and Sherbourne, 1992 ; Aaronson et al, 1993 ; Cella et al, 1993 , 2010 ; Herdman et al, 2011 ). Doege et al (2019) examined a wide range of resources (e.g., family and financial security) in long-term breast, colorectal and prostate cancer patients and found that a greater number of highly differentiated resources led to a higher HrQoL.…”

Identification and Determination of Dimensions of Health-Related Quality of Life for Cancer Patients in Routine Care – A Qualitative Study

PurposeContinuous patient-reported outcomes (PROs) to identify and address patients’ needs represent an important addition to current routine care. The aim of this study was to identify and determine important dimensions of health-related quality of life (HrQoL) in routine oncological care.MethodsIn a cross-sectional qualitative study, interviews and focus groups were carried out and recorded. The interviewees were asked for their evaluation on HrQoL in general and specifically regarding cancer treatment. The material was transcribed and analyzed using qualitative content analysis based on Mayring. The results were reviewed in an expert discussion.ResultsInterviews with patients (N = 28) and clinicians (N = 4), as well as five focus groups with clinicians (N = 18) were conducted. Initially, nine deductive and two inductive categories on HrQoL were built. Four categories (partnership/sexuality, spirituality/religiousness, health perception, and overall health) were excluded following the qualitative content analysis because they were hardly or not at all mentioned by participants. Following on from the analysis of the expert discussion, one dimension was added (dignity), and two further categories were excluded (mobility and feeling of security in treatment). The resulting system consisted of six dimensions: emotional health, physical ailments, autonomy, social functionality, dignity, and resources.ConclusionThe identified dimensions of HrQoL in routine oncological care were found to differ from those used in existing HrQoL measurements for (cancer) patients. Further research is needed to test and evaluate the presented structure in a larger sample of cancer patients to further assess its psychometric properties.

“…The mechanism for these findings is unclear; however, speculatively, particularly for breast and prostate cancer, these diseases are intimately associated with sexual well-being. Diagnosis and treatment often affects psychosocial quality of life 26 and thus may be particularly challenging for those with a history of acute psychiatric care utilisation resulting in poor CSM. Kisely et al 2 found that psychiatric patients had a 38% increased risk of CSM for non-prostate urologic malignancies and a 54% increased risk for colorectal cancer, compared to the general population.…”

The impact of psychiatric utilisation prior to cancer diagnosis on survival of solid organ malignancies

et al. 2019

BACKGROUND: Among patients with cancer, prior research suggests that patients with mental illness may have reduced survival. The objective was to assess the impact of psychiatric utilisation (PU) prior to cancer diagnosis on survival outcomes. METHODS: All residents of Ontario diagnosed with one of the top 10 malignancies (1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006)(2007)(2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014) were included. The primary exposure was psychiatric utilisation gradient (PUG) score in 5 years prior to cancer: 0: none, 1: outpatient, 2: emergency department, 3: hospital admission. A multivariable, cause-specific hazard model was used to assess the effect of PUG score on cancer-specific mortality (CSM), and a Cox proportional hazard model for effect on all-cause mortality (ACM). RESULTS: A toal of 676,125 patients were included: 359,465 (53.2%) with PUG 0, 304,559 (45.0%) PUG 1, 7901 (1.2%) PUG 2, and 4200 (0.6%) PUG 3. Increasing PUG score was independently associated with worse CSM, with an effect gradient across the intensity of pre-diagnosis PU (vs PUG 0): PUG 1 h 1.05 (95% CI 1.04-1.06), PUG 2 h 1.36 (95% CI 1.30-1.42), and PUG 3 h 1.73 (95% CI 1.63-1.84). Increasing PUG score was also associated with worse ACM. CONCLUSIONS: Pre-cancer diagnosis PU is independently associated with worse CSM and ACM following diagnosis among patients with solid organ malignancies.

“…Personal health-related resources are the crucial individual qualities that promote women's health and well-being during breast cancer [1,2]. These resources are vital because breast cancer has serious negative consequences for women as regards their physical, mental and social health, well-being, everyday life and quality of life [3][4][5].…”

“…Previous studies in cancer nursing have most often focused on identifying the physical, mental and social consequences of breast cancer. However, although attention has recently been paid to patients' personal health-related resources [2,15,16], a systematic synthesis of previous knowledge is lacking.…”

Personal health‐related resources are essential for women with breast cancer, as these help them to maintain their own health and well‐being during different phases of their illness. The purpose of this integrative review was to identify, describe and synthetise what personal health‐related resources have already been identified for this patient group. We carried out an integrative review to find papers that focused on personal health‐related resources for women with breast cancer aged 18–64 years. The search covered 1 January 2005 to 31 May 2021 and was carried out using the CINAHL, PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science and Cochrane Library databases. It was limited to peer‐reviewed scientific papers with abstracts published in English and 23 papers met the inclusion criteria. The data were analysed using content analysis. Personal health‐related resources for women with breast cancer consisted of three different, but inherently interconnected, categories of personal strengths, person‐centred cancer care and social support from and involvement in their cultural community. Personal health‐related resources for women with breast cancer were multifaceted. Women need nursing support to identify and use these resources and future studies are needed to strengthen how they are measured.

The role of psychosocial resources for long-term breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer survivors: prevalence and associations with health-related quality of life

Abstract: The study underlines the importance and situational variability of personal and social resources for cancer survivors' HRQL, even years post-diagnosis. Not only the availability, but also the individual perception and significance of resources should be considered in follow-up cancer care.
