PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To address the state-of-the-knowledge concerning quality of life (QOL) issues and the cancer experience from theoretical, research, clinical, and educational perspectives.
Published books and articles and a panel of experienced QOL experts who convened at the Oncology Nursing Society's State-of-the-knowledge Conference on Quality of Life in February 1995.
Despite the evolution and support of QOL in oncology nursing practice, education, and research, there remains gaps in theory, research, and practice related to QOL. This article explores these gaps in knowledge and recommends future directions for QOL theory, research, education, and practice.
Further conceptual work and resolution of QOL methodologic issues to guide clinical practice and education are warranted. The impact of cultural variables and precancer life experiences on patients' perceptions of QOL also must be addressed.
Oncology nurse clinicians, educators, and researchers must continue to work collaboratively to enhance the knowledge base regarding QOL and to improve the nursing care provided to individuals with cancer.
目的/目标：从理论、研究、临床和教育角度探讨有关生活质量（QOL）问题及癌症经历的知识现状。
已出版的书籍和文章，以及1995年2月在肿瘤护理学会生活质量知识现状会议上召集的一组经验丰富的QOL专家。
尽管QOL在肿瘤护理实践、教育和研究中不断发展并得到支持，但在与QOL相关的理论、研究和实践方面仍存在差距。本文探讨了这些知识差距，并为QOL理论、研究、教育和实践推荐了未来的方向。
有必要开展进一步的概念性工作并解决QOL方法学问题，以指导临床实践和教育。还必须考虑文化变量和癌症前生活经历对患者QOL认知的影响。
肿瘤护士临床医生、教育工作者和研究人员必须继续合作，以加强关于QOL的知识基础，并改善为癌症患者提供的护理。
