“…Former studies showed no difference between the patients with breast cancer and the control group in terms of extraversion and neuroticism, while some researchers emphasized that breast cancer patients indicated higher psychoticism scores compared with the control group (35). Yet, cancer survivors including breast cancer survivors were reported to have lower levels of psychoticism, which was associated with lower levels of quality of life (36). In keeping with this, another study suggested that the psychoticism was a personality trait which was the predictor of depression and bodily symptoms in breast cancer survivors (35).…”

Background: Sense of coherence (SOC) is defined as a global orientation based on a person's confidence that stimuli are structured and predictable, the resources needed to meet these demands are available, and these demands are seen as challenges, worthy of investment, and engagement. The SOC scale is an instrument measuring how people manage stressful situations and stay well. We aimed to assess the psychometric properties of its Greek version in two samples, people with and without long-term conditions (LTCs). Associations between sense of coherence and mental illness, suicidality, and quality of life were also investigated.

“…Por sua vez, os pacientes que percebiam a sua qualidade de vida como sendo boa possuíam menores níveis de morbidade psicológica, ansiedade e depressão do que os demais. Estes resultados vão ao encontro dos estudos de Alacacioglu et al (2010), o qual refere que a morbidade psicológica encontra-se fortemente correlacionada com a qualidade de vida, e de Hyphantis et al (2011), o qual revelou que sintomatologia depressiva e ansiosa aumentou enquanto a qualidade de vida diminuiu de forma significativa.…”

“…Assim sendo, aqueles que apresentavam maiores níveis de depressão percebiam a sua qualidade de vida como sendo pior do que os demais embora a variância explicada tenha sido baixa provavelmente porque se tratam de uma amostra com baixa morbilidade psicológica e boa qualidade de vida geral. Contudo, os resultados vão ao encontro de outros estudos (Hyphantis, 2011;Pereira et al, 2011) que revelaram que a depressão foi um preditor da qualidade de vida dos pacientes com câncer colorretal.…”

ResumoEste estudo avaliou as relações entre a qualidade de vida, otimismo, enfrentamento, morbidade psicológica e estresse familiar, os preditores da qualidade de vida e da morbidade psicológica e analisou as diferenças nestas variáveis em função do sexo, do tipo e da duração do tratamento, idade e nível de escolaridade em pacientes com câncer colorretal. Uma amostra de 100 pacientes em tratamento de quimioterapia participou no estudo. Os resultados revelaram que as mulheres, os pacientes diagnosticados nos últimos 12 meses e os que realizaram cirurgia/quimioterapia apresentam maior risco de desenvolver morbidade psicológica. A depressão mostrou ser um preditor da qualidade de vida. A idade e a escolaridade mostraram ser relevantes particularmente ao nível das estratégias de enfrentamento utilizadas e na qualidade de vida. Os resultados enfatizam a necessidade das intervenções focarem a morbidade, otimismo e ter em consideração o gênero, a duração do diagnóstico e o tipo de tratamento, em particular.Palavras-chave: qualidade de vida; otimismo; enfrentamento; estresse, câncer.
