The usefulness of the Quality of Well-Being scale (QWB) in a sample of pediatric cancer patients was investigated. The parents of 30 children who were 4 to 18 years old and who were being treated for cancer, were administered the QWB. Performance status ratings from the parents and physician, toxicity ratings, treatment information, and routine laboratory values were also collected. Correlational analyses indicated that QWB scores were significantly related to ratings of performance status and that children who had experienced more surgeries and hospitalizations were assessed as more impaired on the QWB. The child's age, toxicity of treatment experience to date, and laboratory values were not significantly related to QWB findings. The potential utility of the QWB as a component of quality-of-life assessment is discussed.
对儿童癌症患者样本中幸福感质量量表（QWB）的效用进行了调查。对30名年龄在4至18岁且正在接受癌症治疗的儿童的父母施测了QWB。还收集了父母和医生的表现状态评分、毒性评分、治疗信息以及常规实验室值。相关性分析表明，QWB得分与表现状态评分显著相关，并且经历过更多手术和住院治疗的儿童在QWB上被评估为受损更严重。儿童的年龄、迄今为止治疗经历的毒性以及实验室值与QWB结果无显著相关性。讨论了QWB作为生活质量评估组成部分的潜在效用。
