Health‐related quality of life, psychosocial functioning, and unmet health needs in patients with sarcoma: A systematic review

et al. 2019

Objective Health‐related quality of life (HRQoL), psychosocial distress, and unmet health needs are important patient‐reported outcomes (PROs) for patients with sarcoma treated with curative intent. Syntheses of data on these PROs in patients with sarcoma are limited. Methods A systematic review of peer‐reviewed literature published between 2007 and 2017 was conducted using five databases, guided by the PRISMA and Cochrane reporting guidelines. Results Of 7240 articles identified, 31 were included in this review. Compared with healthy individuals, patients with sarcoma frequently scored lower in physical and psychological HRQoL domains and experienced higher rates of self‐image issues, depression, and suicide. However, outcomes for patients with sarcoma were relatively comparable to those with other malignancies. Anxiety symptoms were more common in the diagnosis phase, while depressive symptoms were more common in the treatment phase. Patients who are older, female, and socially isolated often reported lower HRQoL. As a sarcoma‐specific HRQoL instrument is not available, and all studies have used generic instruments, key issues may have been omitted. Conclusion There are few studies reporting data for HRQoL, psychosocial issues, or unmet health needs in this population. A sarcoma‐specific HRQoL instrument is needed to accurately describe outcomes in this population. There is a need for further qualitative research to conceptualise the HRQoL issues relevant to this population, against which to map existing HRQoL instruments and guide adaptation or creation of a new instrument.

“…Sarcoma drastically alters a person's quality of life as the development of the tumour and subsequent resection/limb salvage treatment is beset by pain, immobility, stigmatisation, and protracted periods of bed rest. Therefore, given the young age of many sarcoma patients there is a need to develop an understanding of how best to improve both patients' physical and mental quality of life (Shchelkova & Usmanova, 2015). However, quality of life is a subjective and multidimensional construct which encompasses a patient's health risks, functional status, social support, and socio-economic status, and at a community level, a patient's access to support resources, living conditions, and enacted sarcoma-related policies and medical practices (Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCP), 2011).…”

Sarcoma survivors’ perspectives on their body image and functional quality of life post-resection/limb salvage surgery

Sarcomas often occur in patients' extremities and treatment typically involves bone resection/limb salvage surgery. Such treatments leave survivors with physical disfigurements, functional disabilities, and/or emotional traumas. Our post-surgery psychological intervention investigated how these experiences impinge on sarcoma survivors' lives. Twenty-three survivors aged 19-60 years (M = 36 years) participated in a tri-disciplinary (rehabilitative exercise, plastic surgery and psychological) intervention. Of these, 17 participated in psychodynamic counselling, 10 completed a mental-health questionnaire and seven kept a reflective journal. An exemplar case study research design was employed and data were subjected to interpretative phenomenological analysis. The findings reveal that survivors typically experience a number of body image issues and mobility difficulties, which they are reluctant to share with their oncologist in case they are viewed as being ungrateful or vain. In instances where such issues remain unaddressed, then sarcoma survivors have a tendency to adopt avoidant coping strategies and social isolation practices. These practices negatively impact on their mental health and functional quality of life. Hence, it is suggested that a short three part (body image, mobility, and coping strategy) screen be devised and used at all sarcoma 2-year follow-up assessment consults to identify which survivors are in need of psychological assistance.

“…The results of the study show that the integrated study of the mechanisms of psychological adaptation and characteristics of the quality of life in the conditions of the disease opens up new ways of psychological care and social rehabilitation of cancer patients, as it allows to take into account in each case the influence of «the profile of personality» on individual domains of quality of life. Выполненные в этом направлении психологические исследования больных с онкологическим поражением костей крайне малочисленны [23][24][25][26]. Практически отсутствуют исследования, в интегрированном виде рассматривающие механизмы психологической адаптации к болезни (индивидуально-типологические особенности личности, ценностно-мотивационная направленность, способы и ресурсы совладания со стрессом, тип отношения к болезни) и качество жизни больных с опухолевым поражением костей.…”

The article reflects the results of empirical research and theoretical understanding of the interaction of mechanisms of psychological adjustment to the disease and the main parameters of quality of life in chronic somatic disease. We examined139 patients suffering from different forms of oncological damage of bones of the musculoskeletal system, who treated in «N. N. Blokhin National Medical Research Centre of Oncology». Such psychodiagnostic methods as «BIG 5», «Ways of coping», «Purpose-in-Life Test», «Questionnaire of relation to disease «TOBOL», «SF-36 Health Status Survey», «Quality of Life Questionnaire» EORTC QLQ-C30 with additional module BM-22 for patients with bone tumor were used; Karnofsky scale and ECOG-WHO scale (from medical records) were used to assess the objective somatic status of patients. Cluster, factor and multifactorial dispersion analysis of data was performed, which showed the influence of the selected «profiles» (clusters) of personality («Neurotic person», «Mature, adapted person», «Person with a high level of self-consciousness and responsibility», «Socially maladjusted personality») on the generalized factors of quality of life («Life activity», «Optimal quality of life in the conditions of disease», as well as the factor «Gastrointestinal problems», reflecting the somatization of psychological problems in the situation of the disease). The results of the study show that the integrated study of the mechanisms of psychological adaptation and characteristics of the quality of life in the conditions of the disease opens up new ways of psychological care and social rehabilitation of cancer patients, as it allows to take into account in each case the influence of «the profile of personality» on individual domains of quality of life.
