Resumo: | The aims of this study were to assess Quality of Life (QOL) within patients with a newly diagnosed inoperable lung cancer and then comparing the QOL scores with the findings from a qualitative interview study. A mixed method descriptive concurrent triangulation design was used to achieve the specific aims. Twenty-three patients participated. Quality of life was assessed with two questionnaires; the European Organization Research and Treatment of Cancer, EORTC-C30 and supplement lung cancer-specific module, the QOL-LC-13. Data were analysed in accordance with procedures recommended by the EORTC. These results were then compared with findings from a qualitative interview study. EORTC-QLQ-C30 + LC-13 all questionnaires were completed, since there were just 23 respondents, mean values at an individual level were calculated. Quality of Life was scored by the patient to a mean score of 4.5. In the interviews QOL was expressed as living as usual. It seems as regarding measurement of functional scales and global QOL there are similar findings using a questionnaire or a qualitative interview. Hence, the qualitative interview gave more multiplicity and deeper understanding about the different domains. The findings of this comparison, point out the importance of identifying the different domains of QOL from these patients’ perspectives. |

Foi usado um projeto de triangulação simultânea descritiva dos métodos mistos para alcançar objetivos específicos. Vinte e três pacientes participaram do projeto. A QV foi avaliada através de dois questionários; Organização Européia para Pesquisa e Tratamento de Câncer, EORTC-C30, e o módulo complementar específico para câncer de pulmão, o QOL-LC-13. Os dados foram analisados de acordo com os procedimentos recomendados pela EORTC. Estes resultados foram comparados com os resultados de um estudo de entrevista qualitativa. Todos os questionários EORTC-QLQC30 + LC-13 foram preenchidos, já que havia apenas 23 entrevistados, e foram calculados os valores médios ao nível individual. A QV foi classificada pelo paciente com uma pontuação média de 4.5. Nas entrevistas de QV esta foi expressa como vida normal. Parece, com relação à medição de escalas funcionais e QV global, que existem resultados semelhantes usando um questionário ou uma entrevista qualitativa. Conseqüentemente, a entrevista qualitativa proporcionou maior multiplicidade e conhecimento mais profundo sobre os diversos domínios. Os resultados desta comparação enfatizam a importância de se identificar a QV a partir das perspectivas destes pacientes.Instituto de Comunicação e Informação Científica e Tecnológica em Saúde (Icict/Fiocruz)2008-01-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionAvaliado pelos paresapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://www.reciis.icict.fiocruz.br/index.php/reciis/article/view/82810.3395/reciis.v2i1.828Revista Eletrônica de Comunicação, Informação & Inovação em Saúde; Vol. 2 No. 1 (2008)Revista Eletrônica de Comunicação, Informação e Inovação em Saúde; Vol. 2 Núm. 1 (2008)Revue de la Communication, de l'Information et de l'Innovation en santé; Vol. 2 No 1 (2008)Revista Eletrônica de Comunicação, Informação & Inovação em Saúde; v. 2 n. 1 (2008)1981-6278reponame:RECIIS (Online)instname:Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)instacron:FIOCRUZporenghttps://www.reciis.icict.fiocruz.br/index.php/reciis/article/view/828/1470https://www.reciis.icict.fiocruz.br/index.php/reciis/article/view/828/1642Berterö, Carinainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2022-08-11T14:24:54Zoai:www.reciis.icict.fiocruz.br:article/828Revistahttps://www.reciis.icict.fiocruz.br/index.php/reciishttps://www.reciis.icict.fiocruz.br/index.php/reciis/oaireciis@icict.fiocruz.br1981-62781981-6278opendoar:2022-08-11T14:24:54RECIIS (Online) - Fundação Oswaldo Cruz (FIOCRUZ)false |
