“…Research indicates that activity/functioning variables play a prominent role in the health and well-being of cancer survivors in Turkey (Kaya, 2015). Therefore, it is important to investigate factors that influence functioning levels of cancer survivors in Turkey.…”

“…Functioning levels of cancer survivors decrease with age; young cancer survivors tend to have higher levels of functioning than older cancer survivors (Deimling et al, 2007). The relationship between education and functioning is mixed; some research findings indicate positive association between education and functioning, whereas other studies indicate no significant association (Kaya, 2015). As for the income level, people who have cancer with higher level of income tend to have higher level of functioning (Goker et al, 2011).…”

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between demographic variables, personal factors, impairment-related variables, and functioning levels of cancer survivors in Turkey. Data for this study were collected from a major oncology institute and a nonprofit cancer organization in Turkey. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to investigate the sequential effect of demographic variables (i.e., age, gender, income, and education), personal factors (i.e., core self-evaluations, purpose in life, and religiosity), and impairment-related variables (i.e., pain, fatigue, perceived stress, and sleep disturbance) on the functioning level of Turkish cancer survivors (i.e., physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, and social functioning). The results indicated that impairment-related variables explained a significant amount of variance in functioning scores above and beyond demographic and personal factors. Pain intensity and perceived stress were most prominent factors impacting functioning levels of Turkish cancer survivors. Pain and stress self-management training, psychotherapy and counseling, physical activity and exercise, and cognitive remediation training are recommended interventions to increase the functioning level and well-being of cancer survivors.

“…Turkish people also understand and accept that physicians are not required to reach consensus about the treatment process with patients (Guven, 2010). Further, in a collectivist culture, physicians are unlikely to share the truth of their clients’ diagnosis or prognosis (Guven, 2010; Sen, 1997), as Turkish people tend to equate cancer with death; and they may think that their family and social roles may get disrupted by cancer diagnosis (Kaya et al, 2019). There is clearly a lack of collaborative communication, shared decision-making, and two-way communication of information between cancer survivors and physicians in Turkey (Terzioglu, 2008).…”

Abstract. Previous research shows that perceived autonomy support is significantly associated with positive health outcomes for different clinical populations. However, there is not a standardized measurement tool that assesses perceived autonomy support for the Turkish population. This study translated the Health Care Climate Questionnaire (HCCQ), a perceived autonomy support measurement tool, into Turkish and investigated the factorial structure of the questionnaire with a group of patients with cancer. This study used a convenience-sampling method with 192 people with cancer. The participants were recruited from a major cancer institute and a non-profit organization in Turkey by research partners. Volunteer participants either filled out a hard copy of a survey packet or completed the survey packet through a secured online survey tool website (i.e., https://www.surveymonkey.com ). In addition, a closed Facebook group for cancer survivors in Turkey was used to advertise the study’s link. The results indicated the participants perceived a moderate level of autonomy support. In comparison to German and US populations, perceived autonomy support was low among Turkish cancer patients. The results also indicated that the HCCQ has a two-factor measurement structure. Correlations with external variables indicated that the scores of HCCQ were significantly positively associated with life satisfaction and quality of life of cancer patients and negatively associated with cancer related symptoms (e.g., fatigue).

“…Recovery and 5‐year survival rates of childhood cancer have increased along with improvements in diagnosis and treatment options (Kaya et al, 2019). The 5‐year survival rates of the children and adolescents diagnosed with cancer are approximately 80–84% in high‐income countries; for Turkey, the rate is 70.8% (Bhakta et al, 2019; Kutluk & Yeşilipek, 2019).…”

Objective The present systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to analyse the effects of administered interventions on the quality of life of children with cancer in Turkey. Methods The quantitative studies conducted with paediatric oncology patients, analysing the quality of life of Turkish children, and published papers from 2009 to 2019 were searched. Joanna Briggs Institution MAStARI Experimental and Quasi‐Experimental Research Control List and Quality Index were used for methodological assessment. Five studies comprising a total of 264 samples were included. Four studies were nonrandomised controlled trials, and one was a quasi‐experimental study. Results Tests for heterogeneity showed that the studies, which included interventions increasing the quality of life of children with cancer, were heterogeneous. The common effect size of all studies on quality of life was determined as having a strong positive effect. Conclusions This meta‐analysis and systematic review contribute to the knowledge of Turkish health care professionals regarding these interventions by producing results with high levels of evidence on the improvement of the quality of life among children with cancer. The present study also significantly raises awareness and encourages health care professionals to implement interventions for the improvement of quality of life among children with cancer.
