Abstract
Background: A cancer diagnosis has a significant impact on a person's life, both physically and emotionally. However, the oncology patients' QoL (QoL) at different stages of the disease has been under investigated.
Aim: To assess and compare the QoL in three groups of oncology patients.
Methods: A comparative study was carried out in an outpatient care service at a public hospital in the state of São Paulo. Data collection involved the use of the Palliative Performance Scale and the McGill QoL Questionnaire.
Results: Most participants were women, Catholic and living with a partner. The Palliative Performance Scale revealed a predominance of stable patients (score: ≥70 points). Overall, palliative care patients had lower QoL scores compared to the other groups (p<0.01).
Conclusion: QoL was worse among palliative care patients. Advanced age, being in palliative care, and have a low-income were negatively associated with a patient's QoL.
背景：癌症诊断会对患者的生活产生重大影响，包括身体上和情感上的影响。目的：评估并比较三组肿瘤患者的 QoL：在圣保罗州一家公立医院的门诊护理服务处开展了一项比较研究。数据收集包括姑息治疗表现量表和麦吉尔 QoL 问卷：大多数参与者为女性，信奉天主教并与伴侣同住。姑息治疗表现量表显示，病情稳定的患者占多数（得分≥70分）。总体而言，姑息治疗患者的 QoL 得分低于其他组别（p 结论：姑息治疗患者的 QoL 更差：姑息治疗患者的生活质量较差。高龄、接受姑息治疗和低收入与患者的生活质量呈负相关。
