Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women and is responsible for physical and sociomental problems. Evaluation of life quality is considered as an important issue in studying chronic diseases, especially cancer. Cancer affects the life quality of the patients in different degrees. Therefore, the effect of disease on life quality of these patients is an important consequence. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the predictors of quality of life in patients with breasts cancer.
This descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study was conducted in 2017 on 166 female under treatment for breast cancer who referred to Ghazi, Alzahra, Valiasr, and Shams hospitals in Tabriz city, Iran. Samples were selected through convenience method. Sociodemographic and quality of life questionnaires-Cancer 30 in breast cancer patients were completed through interview. Data analysis was performed using Pearson's correlation, independent t, analysis of variance, and linear multivariate regression tests.
The mean ± standard deviation of total quality of life score was 59.1 ± 17.4 from the achievable range of 0 to 100. The highest mean score was obtained for cognitive performance subscale (74.9 ± 23.8), and the lowest mean score was achieved for emotional performance subscale (51.4 ± 21.1). According to the results obtained from the linear multivariate regression, variables of time of disease diagnosis, lifestyle, caregiver person, caregiver health status, and matrimonial satisfaction were among the predictors of total quality of life score.
The results showed that quality of life in patients under treatment for breast cancer was moderate; therefore, special attention must be paid by caregivers to improve the quality of life in these patients considering its sociodemographic predictors.
乳腺癌是女性中最常见的癌症之一，会导致身体和社会心理问题。生活质量评估被认为是研究慢性病尤其是癌症的一个重要问题。癌症在不同程度上影响患者的生活质量。因此，疾病对这些患者生活质量的影响是一个重要的结果。因此，本研究旨在确定乳腺癌患者生活质量的预测因素。
本描述性分析横断面研究于2017年对166名在伊朗大不里士市加齐、阿尔扎赫拉、瓦利亚斯尔和沙姆斯医院接受乳腺癌治疗的女性进行。样本通过便利抽样法选取。通过访谈完成乳腺癌患者的社会人口统计学和生活质量问卷——癌症30项。数据分析采用Pearson相关性分析、独立t检验、方差分析和线性多元回归检验。
生活质量总得分的平均值±标准差为59.1±17.4（满分0至100）。认知功能子量表得分最高（74.9±23.8），情感功能子量表得分最低（51.4±21.1）。根据线性多元回归结果，疾病诊断时间、生活方式、照顾者、照顾者健康状况和婚姻满意度等变量是生活质量总得分的预测因素。
结果表明，接受乳腺癌治疗患者的生活质量处于中等水平；因此，照顾者必须特别关注这些患者的生活质量，考虑其社会人口统计学预测因素来改善生活质量。
