Abstract

Objectives: Research investigating the quality of life (QOL) of breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy has yielded useful knowledge regarding the effects of cancer treatment on the quality of life of patients. This study reviews the assessment of the quality of life for those diagnosed with breast cancer.

Design: A systematic review was conducted.

Data sources: This systematic review utilized online databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar. A search ranging from 2018 to 2024 was carried out.

Review method: Medical Subject Headings (MESH) were used for keyword selection along with other target keywords, such as "Quality of life", "Breast cancer", "Chemotherapy", "Treatment side effects", "Patient experience", "Psychosocial well-being", "Physical functioning", "Emotional distress", and "Supportive care". We reviewed and included all English-language publications. A narrative synthesis was conducted to present the results of the studies.

Results: A total of 300 studies were obtained from the search using the specified keywords. Each result underwent another filtering round after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria. This process led to a final selection of 20 papers that met the requirements and were included in the systematic review.

Conclusion: The use of instruments to measure the quality of life (QoL) of breast cancer patients is crucial in understanding the impact of breast cancer on patients' lives, from physical and mental health to social aspects.

乳腺癌患者的生活质量评估。

研究目的对接受化疗的乳腺癌患者的生活质量（QOL）进行调查的研究，为了解癌症治疗对患者生活质量的影响提供了有用的知识。本研究回顾了对乳腺癌患者生活质量的评估：设计：进行了系统性回顾：本系统综述利用了在线数据库，包括 PubMed、Web of Science、Scopus 和 Google Scholar。检索时间为 2018 年至 2024 年：在选择关键词时使用了医学主题词表（MESH）以及其他目标关键词，如 "生活质量"、"乳腺癌"、"化疗"、"治疗副作用"、"患者体验"、"社会心理健康"、"身体机能"、"情绪困扰 "和 "支持性护理"。我们审查并收录了所有英文出版物。我们对研究结果进行了叙述性综合：使用指定关键词进行搜索，共获得 300 项研究结果。在应用纳入和排除标准后，每项结果都经过了另一轮筛选。通过这一过程，最终筛选出 20 篇符合要求的论文，并将其纳入系统综述：使用工具测量乳腺癌患者的生活质量（QoL）对于了解乳腺癌对患者生活的影响（从身体和心理健康到社会方面）至关重要。

期刊介绍： The recent expansion of work in the field of breast cancer inevitably will hasten discoveries that will have impact on patient outcome. The breadth of this research that spans basic science, clinical medicine, epidemiology, and public policy poses difficulties for investigators. Not only is it necessary to be facile in comprehending ideas from many disciplines, but also important to understand the public implications of these discoveries. Breast Disease publishes review issues devoted to an in-depth analysis of the scientific and public implications of recent research on a specific problem in breast cancer. Thus, the reviews will not only discuss recent discoveries but will also reflect on their impact in breast cancer research or clinical management.
