Objective:This descriptive and cross-sectional study was undertaken to determine the factors affecting cancer patients’ quality of life.Methods:We collected data from 352 chemotherapy patients of an Outpatient Chemotherapy Unit in a state hospital. We included volunteered chemotherapy patients with a signed informed consent and at least 50 Karnofsky Performance Scale points. We gathered data by Personal Information Form and Nightingale Symptom Assessment Scale (N-SAS) and analyzed via basic descriptive statistics and linear regression analysis.Results:Patients were women (54.8%), married (83.5%), elementary school graduates (57.1%), housewives (44.6%) and undergoing fluorouracil-based therapy (47.2%), and almost all patients had religious and cultural rituals for the disease. Women experienced worse physical and social well-being than men (P = 0.001, P = 0.0001). Singles had worse psychological and general well-being (P = 0.0001, P = 0.0001). Housewives had the worst physical and social well-being (P < 0.05). No relationship existed between education level and life quality (P > 0.05). Breast cancer and sarcoma patients had the worst social well-being than other cancer patients. The N-SAS points of patients were not affected by blessings/prays, vow/sacrifice, consulting local herbalists and visiting “ocaks (folk physicians)” (P > 0.05). Patients with bad quality of life practiced lead pouring and amulets (P < 0.05). Gender was the first factor affecting the quality of life.Conclusion:Advanced studies on individual quality of life factors affecting cancer would empower nurses for better personal care techniques and patients for easily overcoming the disease.

“…Os pacientes do GI foram submetidos à terapia relaxamento com imagem guiada, conduzida por uma gravação em CD (16) , com duração de 15 minutos cada sessão. O CD inicialmente solicita ao paciente que se posicione confortavelmente, em seguida o conduz a realizar movimentos de respiração e relaxamento em diversas partes do corpo.…”

O objetivo foi avaliar o efeito do Relaxamento com Imagem Guiada sobre a presença de depressão em pacientes com câncer durante quimioterapia. Estudo quase-experimental, realizado em duas centrais de quimioterapia, entre 2009-2011. O grupo intervenção foi submetido ao relaxamento com imagem guiada; os grupos intervenção (n=73) e controle (n=79) responderam ao Inventário de Depressão de Beck. Os cânceres mais frequentes foram: mama, intestinal e gástrico. Diferenças estatisticamente significantes (p<0,05) entre os grupos (Teste de Mann-Whitney, p=0,0158) e entre os tempos (Teste de Wilcoxon, p=0,0401) foram encontradas, com o grupo intervenção apresentando mais pacientes “sem depressão” do que o controle. De acordo com Inventário de Depressão de Beck, os resultados evidenciaram que a intervenção ajudou a reduzir a presença de depressão nestes pacientes. Espera-se que a prática desta intervenção seja divulgada e difundida no trabalho do dia-a-dia do enfermeiro, para que, em um futuro próximo, os pacientes oncológicos possam se beneficiar com estas terapias.
