“…The results of this research are not consistent with Davodi et al (2012), who studied the effect of self-care education on the life of quality gastric cancer patients in gastrostomy surgery. The results showed general life quality based on the quality of life questionnaire for cancer patients before and after the intervention was not significant in the control and experimental groups, but in emotional functioning the experimental group had a significant difference in the dimensions of global quality of life and physical problems.…”

“…Nurses should play a vital role in caring stoma and helping patient's family help patients cope with new life (Dalmolin et al, 2016). 6,7,8,9 The patient needs information about how to replace a stoma bag, care for the skin around the stoma, washing stoma, type and dietary intake, dietary restrictions and activity restrictions. So it should be said nursing care is a key part in bringing them back to normal life (Sarabi et al, 2011).…”

BACKGROUND As the third and second leading cause of cancer deaths, both all around the world and in developing countries colon-rectal cancer is developing rapidly. In treatment methods accompanied with placing digestive stoma, family care is regarded as an important support in the process of this chronic illness, which positively affects the general health system. The research aim was to investigate the impact of family-centered education on quality of life in patients with gastric stoma (colostomy and ileostomy). MATERIALS AND METHODS This research is a non-randomised clinical trial research performed on 61 subjects with gastrointestinal stomatitis and their companion (members of the family in care process) who had criteria for entering the research. At first the experimental group (30 people) and control group (31 people) completed the standard quality of life questionnaire (OSH-COH-QOL). To conduct the training, the test group received a family-centered approach training in three sessions. During the intervention period, the control group received care and general education. Two months later, the quality of life of patient with gastric stoma was re-evaluated. Then, data was analysed by SPSS software 22 with Chi-square, t-test and independent t-test. RESULTS Based on the findings, there was no significant difference between the two groups of family-centered and control groups in terms of demographic characteristics. The independent t-test results showed in the post-intervention stage the quality of life score and physical health dimensions compared to the control group were statistically significant. CONCLUSION The results showed with family-centered education approach can improve the quality of life of patient with gastric stoma.

“…In other words, almost %39 of the studies explored the quality of life in female adults who were diagnosed with breast cancer. The results of the literature review are summarized in Table 1. A number of 20 articles out of total 33 articles used the quality-of-Life instrument for use in international clinical trials in oncology (EORTC QLQ-C30) belonging to the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (Agha barari et al, 2007;Heravi Karimovi et al, 2006;Poorkiani et al, 2010;Zeighami Mohammadi and Ghaffari, 2009;Hasanvand et al, 2015;Shariati et al, 2011;Zeighami Mohammedi et al, 2008;Momeni and Ghanbari, 2011;Baljani et al, 2011;Tork Zahrani et al, 2012;Ghavam-Nasiri et al, 2012;Sadat Aghahosseini et al, 2012;Davoodi et al, 2012;Sharif et al, 2010;Mardani Hamule and Shahraki Vahed, 2010;Ayatollahi, 2013;Haghighat, 2013;Mikaili, 2014;Taghadosi and Fahimifar, 2014;Yazdani, 2015;Karbaschi et al, 2015). This instrument was nominated as "Aronson's life quality index" in one of the studied articles (Zeighami Mohammadi and Ghaffari, 2009).…”

Objective:Over the past three decades, more than 100 instruments have been developed that measure the quality of life. In order to ensure accuracy and authenticity of the measurements, it is essential to utilize the instruments that have proper psychometric properties. Therefore, this critical review study aimed at comparing the instruments that measured the life quality of cancer patients in Iranian studies. Methods:In this study, Persian articles published in Iranian databases (IranMedex, Irandoc Magiran, SID) from 2006 to 2016 were searched, using the following keywords: nursing, cancer, tools, scale, and quality of life. A total number of 159 articles were obtained, of which 33 articles complied with the inclusion criteria of this study and thereby were reviewed. Results:Sixty nine percent of the articles explored the life quality of adult females with breast cancer, and the most-commonly used instrument was a quality-of-Life instrument for use in international clinical trials in oncology belonging to the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer. More than half of the studies referred solely to Iranian studies to address psychometric properties. Though, no method was introduced in order to address the validity and reliability of instruments in the articles under consideration. Conclusion:According to the findings, the studies which explored the validity and reliability of instruments concerning the life quality of cancer patients were scarce. Therefore, the researchers should pay further attention to the validity and reliability of instruments for selection of an appropriate instrument in this area of research. Also, the researchers are encouraged to further study the psychometric properties of relevant instruments so that optimal generalizability and authenticity of their findings can be attained.

Objective: A huge amount of the efforts made by health teams is dedicated to caring for cancer patients. This study has aimed to investigate the effect of self-care training on life expectancy and quality of life (QOL) in patients with gastrointestinal cancer who were under radiotherapy. Methods: In this clinical trial, 50 patients were selected using the block randomization method. The intervention was performed at Ayatollah Khansari Hospital in Arak, Iran. The patients in the intervention group received three sessions of face-to-face training. The data collection tools included Schneider's Life Expectancy Questionnaire and EORTC QOLQ-C30. Data were analyzed by SPSS version 23. Results: In the control group, 16 were male (64%) and 9 female (36%), and in the intervention group, 14 were male (56%) and 11 were female (44%). Before the intervention, the two groups were homogenous regarding all variables. After the intervention, the mean of QOL was 67 ± 22.62 in the intervention group and 56 ± 18.55 in the control group ( P < 0.05). In examining the different dimensions of QOL, improvement in all functional dimensions was observed in the intervention group. After the intervention, the mean score of life expectancy showed a significant difference ( P < 0.05) between the intervention group (39.52 ± 5.26) and the control group (31.6 ± 7.13). Conclusions: It was found that self-care training improved the QOL and life expectancy of patients with gastrointestinal cancer who were under radiotherapy. Therefore, self-care training is recommended to improve the QOL and the life expectancy of cancer patients.
