Resumo: The aim of this study was to evaluate, analyze and understand distress levels experienced during chemotherapy treatment, comparing men and women. The sample was composed of 328 patients recruited from an Oncology center. Data collection included the application of the Distress Thermometer at three stages of chemotherapy: beginning, middle and end. Incidence of distress decreased in both genders over the course of assessments. Comparatively, the incidence was higher among women, who also reported the highest number of problems in the practical, family, emotional, spiritual and physical domains. The results corroborate the international literature on the subject. Clinical interest of systematic assessment of distress was confirmed to develop routines of therapeutic monitoring adapted to the specific needs of cancer patients.

El objetivo de esta investigación fue evaluar, analizar y comprender los niveles de distress experimentados durante el tratamiento con quimioterapia, comparando hombres y mujeres. La muestra fue constituida por 328 pacientes reclutados en un centro especializado en oncología. Para recopilar los datos fue aplicado el Termómetro de Distress en tres etapas de la quimioterapia: principio, medio y final. La incidencia de distress en ambos sexos cayó en el curso de la evaluación. En comparación, la incidencia fue mayor entre las mujeres, que también reportaron el mayor número de problemas en los campos práctico, familiar, emocional, espiritual y físico. Los resultados obtenidos corroboran la literatura internacional. Se comprobó la importancia clínica de la evaluación sistemática del distress para estructurar las rutinas de acompañamiento terapéutico adaptadas a las necesidades específicas de los pacientes con cáncer.

A amostra foi constituída de 328 pacientes, recrutados em um centro especializado em Oncologia. A coleta de dados envolveu a aplicação do Termômetro de Distress em três etapas da quimioterapia: início, meio e fim. Constatou-se queda dos escores de distress, em ambos os gêneros, no decorrer das avaliações. Comparativamente, a incidência foi maior entre as mulheres, as quais também reportaram maior número de problemas, nos domínios prático, familiar, emocional, espiritual e físico. Os resultados obtidos corroboram a literatura internacional. Comprovou-se o interesse clínico da avaliação sistemática do distress para estruturação de rotinas de acompanhamento terapêutico ajustadas às necessidades específicas de pacientes com câncer.
