Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between demographic variables, personal factors, impairment-related variables, and functioning levels of cancer survivors in Turkey. Data for this study were collected from a major oncology institute and a nonprofit cancer organization in Turkey. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to investigate the sequential effect of demographic variables (i.e., age, gender, income, and education), personal factors (i.e., core self-evaluations, purpose in life, and religiosity), and impairment-related variables (i.e., pain, fatigue, perceived stress, and sleep disturbance) on the functioning level of Turkish cancer survivors (i.e., physical functioning, role functioning, emotional functioning, cognitive functioning, and social functioning). The results indicated that impairment-related variables explained a significant amount of variance in functioning scores above and beyond demographic and personal factors. Pain intensity and perceived stress were most prominent factors impacting functioning levels of Turkish cancer survivors. Pain and stress self-management training, psychotherapy and counseling, physical activity and exercise, and cognitive remediation training are recommended interventions to increase the functioning level and well-being of cancer survivors.

影响土耳其癌症幸存者功能水平的因素

本研究的目的是调查土耳其癌症幸存者的人口统计学变量、个人因素、残疾相关变量和功能水平之间的关系。这项研究的数据来自土耳其的一家主要肿瘤研究所和一家非营利癌症组织。进行了分层回归分析，以调查人口统计学变量（即年龄、性别、收入和教育）、个人因素（即核心自我评价、生活目标和宗教信仰）的顺序效应，以及土耳其癌症幸存者的功能水平（即身体功能、角色功能、情绪功能、认知功能和社会功能）上的残疾相关变量（即疼痛、疲劳、感知压力和睡眠障碍）。结果表明，与损伤相关的变量解释了功能得分的显著差异，超过了人口统计学和个人因素。疼痛强度和压力是影响土耳其癌症幸存者功能水平的最显著因素。疼痛和压力自我管理培训、心理治疗和咨询、体育活动和锻炼以及认知修复培训是建议的干预措施，以提高癌症幸存者的功能水平和幸福感。

期刊介绍： Rehabilitation Counseling Bulletin (RCB) publishes articles on rehabilitation counseling with a major emphasis on data-based research reports, although other types of contributions to professional knowledge in rehabilitation counseling will be considered. Examples include articles that explain an innovative technique or application, point/ counterpoint debates on a current controversy challenging the profession, or insightful essays on an important issue. Contributions of these kinds may be considered for a special section of RCB. Article topics cover a wide range—from ethical dilemmas related to counseling clients with HIV/AIDS to clinical problem solving in micro–case management.
