Abstract

Objective

In Africa, cancer is considered a death sentence. Its impact can be debilitating for the patient and those who care for them. This study therefore assessed the spiritual needs and quality of life of cancer patients in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria.

Methods

This study utilized a cross-sectional descriptive design. We systematically recruited 302 cancer patients who visited the cancer registry and outpatient departments. A standardized and validated Spiritual needs questionnaire (SpNQ) and WHO Quality of Life (WHOQL) were used to collect data. Data was analyzed with SPSS version 23 with a significance level set at P < 0.05.

Results

The preponderance cancer among respondents was breast cancer (146, 48.4%) followed by prostate cancer (41, 13.6%). Most of the respondents admitted having «strong» spiritual needs. Categorization of the spiritual need score was below average in 20% of the respondents which indicated those with low spiritual needs and the majority (241, 79.8%) of the patients had high spiritual needs. Most respondents had poor quality of life in all 4 domains. The spiritual care needs of respondents were significantly associated with the quality of life of the respondents particularly in the psychological domain (P = 0.040) and social domain (P = 0.005).

Conclusion

This study revealed high spiritual needs and poor quality of life among cancer patients. Healthcare practitioners should provide for the spiritual needs of cancer patients to enhance their quality of life.

尼日利亚西南部一家三级医院确诊癌症患者的生活质量和精神需求

目标在非洲，癌症被视为死刑。癌症对患者和护理人员的影响可能会使人衰弱。因此，本研究对尼日利亚一家三级医院癌症患者的精神需求和生活质量进行了评估。方法本研究采用横断面描述性设计。我们系统地招募了 302 名癌症患者，他们都曾在癌症登记处和门诊部就诊。收集数据时使用了经过验证的标准化精神需求问卷（SpNQ）和世界卫生组织生活质量标准（WHOQL）。结果受访者中最常见的癌症是乳腺癌（146 人，占 48.4%），其次是前列腺癌（41 人，占 13.6%）。大多数受访者承认有 "强烈 "的精神需求。20% 的受访者的精神需求分类得分低于平均分，这表明他们的精神需求较低，而大多数患者（241 人，79.8%）的精神需求较高。大多数受访者在所有 4 个领域的生活质量都较差。受访者的精神护理需求与受访者的生活质量显著相关，尤其是在心理领域（P = 0.040）和社交领域（P = 0.005）。医护人员应满足癌症患者的精神需求，以提高他们的生活质量。
