“…The study also revealed that the quality of life tends to decrease as the number of chemotherapy cycles increases. These findings are consistent with a recent study by Hyun and Kim [ 50 ], which showed that chemotherapy can be physically and mentally taxing for patients, and multiple cycles may require more intensive care and support to manage the adverse effects. Although chemotherapy is necessary for treating cancer, an increase in the number of cycles may indicate disease progression, which can be interpreted as a decrease in quality of life.…”

Background and Objectives: The purpose of this study is to enhance the quality of life in elderly patients with lung cancer by understanding relations of uncertainty, appraisal of uncertainty, self-efficacy, and quality of life targeting elderly patients with lung cancer receiving anticancer therapy, and also analyzing the factors affecting the quality of life based on Mishel’s theory. Materials and Methods: The subjects were a total of 112 lung cancer patients aged 65 or older receiving anticancer therapy. The data was collected by using self-report questionnaires targeting patients in hemato-oncology at Chungbuk National University Hospital. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, a t-test, an analysis of variance, Pearson’s correlational coefficients, and hierarchical regression analysis. Results: In stage 1, anticancer therapy (chemotherapy) (β = −0.34, p < 0.001), economic condition (low) (β = −0.30, p < 0.001), the number of anticancer therapies (three times or more) (β = −0.29, p < 0.001), and education (graduation from high school or higher) (β = 0.18, p = 0.033) were influencing factors (F = 0.52, p < 0.001). In stage 2, self-efficacy (β = 0.41, p < 0.001), appraisal of uncertainty: danger (β = −0.29, p < 0.001), appraisal of uncertainty: opportunity (β = 0.18, p = 0.018), the number of anticancer therapies (three times or more) (β = −0.17, p = 0.006), and anticancer therapy (chemotherapy) (β = −0.14, p = 0.031) were influencing factors, which showed 74.2% explanatory power (F = 26.17, p < 0.001). Conclusions: In order to improve the quality of life of subjects, it would be necessary to develop interventions for raising their self-efficacy by considering their degree of education, economic condition, the types and numbers of anticancer therapies, and understanding of the appraisal of uncertainty about the disease is assessed as an opportunity factor or a danger factor.

Objective: To analyze the effect of video education on ambulatory chemotherapy with a portable infusion pump on the knowledge, self-efficacy, and anxiety of colorectal cancer patients. Methods: This study employs a quasi- experimental study as a nonequivalent control group and a non-synchronized design. The 48 participants selected in this study were colorectal cancer patients who received chemotherapy with a portable infusion pump through an ambulatory care unit. Patient education was divided into printed materials and videos, and the patient’s knowledge, self-efficacy, and anxiety were measured. Data were analyzed using independent t-test, paired t-test, and Wilcoxon’s signed rank test. Results: In the video education group, the patient’s knowledge (Z = -4.09, P < 0.001) and self-efficacy (Z = -2.72, P = 0.012) significantly increased after education, and anxiety significantly decreased (Z = 2.24, P = 0.035). However, there was no difference in knowledge (t = 0.09, P = 0.931), self-efficacy (t = 1.22, P = 0.229), and anxiety (t = -1.16, P = 0.250) between the two groups after education. Conclusion: To improve the quality of life of cancer patients, it is necessary to promote self-efficacy and reduce anxiety. The results of this study suggested that more diverse educational methods should be attempted to improve knowledge and self-efficacy and reduce anxiety in colorectal cancer patients.
