Abstract
El impacto del diagnóstico y tratamiento del cáncer provoca una serie de respuestas psicosociales que afectan a la calidad de vida del paciente. El objetivo de este trabajo es evaluar y comparar la calidad de vida y el Estado emocional, (ansiedad y depresión) de 21 pacientes oncológicos entrevistados en dos momentos de su enfermedad, al inicio y en sus últimos ciclos de quimioterapia. Los resultados mostraron que la calidad de vida global y la condición física percibida se asociaron entre sí y con la depresión. Sólo la Condición Física se diferenciaba significativamente entre las fases de estudio. En ambas fases, los Síntomas de Enfermedad, y el Impacto Económico se asociaron, bien con la ansiedad o con la depresión. El Impacto Social se relacionó con la depresión y la ansiedad
en la primera fase, y la Discapacidad funcional con la Calidad de vida global, en la segunda.
The diagnosis and treatment of cancer causes several psychological and social responses which affect patient’s quality of life. Quality of life is a multidimensional construct including functional ability, symptoms from disease and treatment, social and psychological dimensions. In this study we assess the quality of life and anxiety and depression of cancer patients group receiving chemotherapy. 21 patients were interviewed twice. We collected in-formation when they started the treatment and when they were finished it. The Physical condition was associated with the Global Quality of Life, and both with depression. Significant differences appeared in Physical Condition between phase 1 and 2 in this study. Symptoms of Disease and Economical Impact were associated with anxiety or with depression in both phases of this study. Social Impact correlated to depression and anxiety in phase 1, and Func-tional Disability with global Quality of Life in phase 2.
