Abstract

Objective: We aimed to assess the quality of life (QoL) and its predictors in colorectal cancer (CRC) patients at King Abdulaziz Medical City, Jeddah.

Methods: A total of 118 CRC patients at King Abdulaziz Medical City, a tertiary hospital in Jeddah, participated in this study. The participants were provided with the online questionnaire via WhatsApp by trained researchers and data collectors in February 2021. All participants were required to answer the three-section questionnaire comprising of (a) demographic data and a validated Arabic version of the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) quality of life questionnaires, (b) a general version (QLQ-30), and (c) a CRC-specific version (QLQ-CR29).

Results: Statistical analysis revealed that the most common comorbidity among the participants was diabetes mellitus (42.4%). In addition, the mean global health status was 63.91 ± 24.75. For the global health tool QLQ-C30, results exhibited that physical functioning [62.94 (30.04)] and social functioning [63.56 (31.95)] scored below the threshold, while the cognitive functioning scale scored the highest [74.86 (25.11)]. In addition, on the QLQ-C30 scales, fatigue and insomnia were distressing, with fatigue scoring the highest. For the disease-specific tool QLQ-CR29, it was found that for the symptom scale, urinary frequency and embarrassment scored the highest. Conclusion. The participants reported high global quality of life on both the EORTC QLQ-30 and QLQ-CR29 scales. This study identifies the factors and predictors that affect the quality of life of CRC patients in Saudi Arabia. Recognizing these factors and predictors may empower those patients to maintain positive perception towards the impact of colorectal cancer and improve their survival.

在沙特阿拉伯吉达阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王医疗城应用QLQ-30和qlq - cr29评价结直肠癌患者的生活质量

目的探讨吉达阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王医疗城结直肠癌患者的生活质量(QoL)及其预测因素。方法选取吉达市三级医院阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王医疗城的118例结直肠癌患者作为研究对象。2021年2月，训练有素的研究人员和数据收集人员通过WhatsApp向参与者提供在线问卷。所有参与者都需要回答三部分问卷，包括(a)人口统计数据和欧洲癌症研究和治疗组织(EORTC)生活质量问卷的有效阿拉伯语版本，(b)一般版本(QLQ-30)和(c) crc特定版本(QLQ-CR29)。结果统计分析显示，糖尿病是最常见的合并症(42.4%)。总体健康状况平均值为63.91±24.75。对于整体健康工具QLQ-C30，结果显示身体功能[62.94(30.04)]和社会功能[63.56(31.95)]得分低于阈值，而认知功能量表得分最高[74.86(25.11)]。此外，在QLQ-C30量表上，疲劳和失眠是令人痛苦的，疲劳得分最高。对于疾病特异性工具QLQ-CR29，研究发现，在症状量表中，尿频和尴尬得分最高。结论。参与者在EORTC QLQ-30和QLQ-CR29量表上都报告了较高的整体生活质量。本研究确定了影响沙特阿拉伯结直肠癌患者生活质量的因素和预测因素。认识到这些因素和预测因素可以使这些患者对结直肠癌的影响保持积极的认识，提高他们的生存率。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
