“…These differences between patients and controls should not be underestimated as the very large effects sizes (both for OHIP and OIDP) highlighted their clinical importance. The aforementioned consequences would improve if preventive rehabilitation programs were routinely established for these patients [ 34 - 36 ].…”

BackgroundHealth-related quality of life (HRQoL) is gaining importance as a valuable outcome measure in oral cancer area. The aim of this study was to assess the general and oral HRQoL of oral and oropharyngeal cancer patients 6 or more months after treatment and compare them with a population free from this disease.MethodsA cross-sectional study was carried out with patients treated for oral cancer at least 6 months post-treatment and a gender and age group matched control group. HRQoL was measured with the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12); oral HRQoL (OHRQoL) was evaluated using the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and the Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP). Multivariable regression models assessed the association between the outcomes (SF-12, OHIP-14 and OIDP) and the exposure (patients versus controls), adjusting for sex, age, social class, functional tooth units and presence of illness.ResultsFor patients (n = 142) and controls (n = 142), 64.1% were males. The mean age was 65.2 (standard deviation (sd): 12.9) years in patients and 67.5 (sd: 13.7) years in controls. Patients had worse SF-12 Physical Component Summary scores than controls even in fully the adjusted model [β-coefficient = −0.11 (95% CI: −5.12-(−0.16)]. The differences in SF-12 Mental Component Summary were not statistically significant. Regarding OHRQoL patients had 11.63 (95% CI: 6.77-20.01) higher odds for the OHIP-14 and 21.26 (95% CI: 11.54-39.13) higher odds for OIDP of being in a worse category of OHRQoL compared to controls in the fully adjusted model.ConclusionAt least 6 months after treatment, oral cancer patients had worse OHRQoL, worse physical HRQoL and similar psychological HRQoL than the general population.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12955-014-0201-5) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

aş-boyun kanserleri, sindirim sistemi ve üst solunum yolu mukozalarından kaynaklanan skuamöz hücreli kanserlerdir. Skuamöz hücreli karsinom tüm baş-boyun kanserlerinin %90'ını oluşturmaktadır ve Baş-Boyun Kanserli Hastalarda Rehabilitasyon Hemşireliği Ö ÖZ ZE ET T Baş-boyun kanserlerinin %90'ını oluşturan skuamöz hücreli kanserler daha çok genetik yatkınlığı olan, alkol ve/veya sigara tüketen, 40 yaş üzerindeki erkeklerde görülmektedir. Baş-boyun kanseri tanısı konan bireyler, hastalık ve tedavi ile ilişkili olarak birçok semptomu ayrı ayrı veya bir arada deneyimlemektedir. Bu semptomların başlıcaları; yorgunluk, ağrı, kilo kaybı, iştahsızlık, disfaji, ağız kuruluğu, tükürük salgısında azalma, tat almada değişim ve diş problemleridir. Baş-boyun kanserli hastaların rehabilitasyon programının başlıca konuları; konuşma terapisi, beslenme ve stoma bakımı, çiğneme ve yutma terapisi ile ağrı yönetimidir. Hastaların fonksiyonel ve kozmetik sorunlarla baş edebilmesi için sağlık profesyonellerinin interdisipliner ekip yaklaşımıyla hastayı değerlendirmesi gerekmektedir. Ekip üyelerinden rehabilitasyon hemşiresinin hem bir vaka yöne-ticisi hem de hasta ve ailesinin tedaviye dâhil edilmesi, eğitim (trakeostomi bakımı, evde egzersizlerin yapılması) verilmesi, özbakımı ve öz yeterliliği geliştirme, komplikasyonların önlenmesi ve optimum fonksiyonu sağlama gibi görevleri bulunmaktadır. Baş-boyun kanserli hastalarda rehabilitasyon hemşirelerinin etkin bir şekilde bakıma katılmalarıyla hastaların yaşadıkları semptomların ve yaşam kalitelerinin artacağı düşünülmektedir.A An na ah ht ta ar r K Ke el li im me el le er r: : Baş ve boyun neoplazileri; rehabilitasyon; hemşirelik A AB BS ST TR RA AC CT T Squamous cell cancer, accounting for 90% of head and neck cancers, often occurs in males aged above 40 years with genetic predisposition, alcohol abuse, or smoking. Patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer experience many symptoms individually or in combination related to the disease and treatment. The main symptoms include fatigue, pain, weight loss, lack of appetite, dysphagia, dry mouth, decreased salivation, taste changes, and tooth problems. Speech therapy, nutrition, the maintenance of stoma, chewing and swallowing therapy, and pain management are the major components of the rehabilitation programs for patients with head and neck cancer. Health care professionals must use a interdisciplinary approach for the evaluation on patients to cope with functional and cosmetic problems. As a member of this team, rehabilitation nurses play a major role as case managers and also engage the patient and family into the treatment plan, providing education (tracheostomy maintenance and home exercises), improving self-care capabilities and selfsufficiency, preventing complications, and ensuring an optimum level of functionality. We suggest that the effective engagement of rehabilitation nurses into the treatment is helpful to alleviate symptoms and increase the quality of life of these patients.K Ke ey yw wo or rd ds s: : Head and neck neop...
