PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE: To review and analyze the nature of quality of life (QOL) as a critical construct in psychosocial oncology research and to offer direction for future research in studies of cancer survivors.
Select and representative empirical studies of cancer survivors and QOL outcomes.
A consensus exists that the concept of QOL is multidimensional and subjective in nature and thereby requires a methodologic approach that examines the cognitive processes by which individuals achieve QOL.
Healthcare providers best ensure adequate clinical care for cancer survivors when both the biomedical and psychosocial effects of disease on health, well-being, and function are known as well as the varied ways in which these individuals adapt and live the remainder of their lives.
目的/目标：回顾并分析生活质量（QOL）这一关键概念在心理社会肿瘤学研究中的本质，并为癌症幸存者研究的未来方向提供指导。
关于癌症幸存者和生活质量结果的精选且具有代表性的实证研究。
人们达成共识，即生活质量的概念本质上是多维度且主观的，因此需要一种方法来研究个体实现生活质量的认知过程。
当了解疾病对健康、幸福和功能的生物医学及心理社会影响，以及这些个体适应和度过余生的各种方式时，医疗保健提供者能最好地确保为癌症幸存者提供充分的临床护理。
