Abstract
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND. The morbidity and mortality rates of oral cavity cancers have increased in recent years. Numerous publications establish the impact of disease and treatment on the quality of life of patients with this pathology. Only sporadic studies of the relationship between overall quality of life and quality of life relevant to oral health are known.
PURPOSE: To study health-related quality of life in patients with oral cavity cancer in the terminal stages of the disease.
MATERIAL AND METHODS. Study of quality of life in patients with oral cavity cancer was performed using questionnaires FACT-H&N (Version 4) and WHOQOL-100 (WHOQOL-100). The study included 112 patients based on random sampling. The mean age was 66.5 ± 3.5 years (p < 0.05), most of them were men (76.7%). All respondents were diagnosed at late (III-IV) stages of the disease.
RESULTS. When assessing physical well-being using the FACT-H&N questionnaire (Version 4), the majority of respondents showed decreased scores in the domains: Physical well-being, Emotional well-being, Well-being in daily life. When assessing quality of life using the WHOQOL-100 questionnaire, there is a decrease in the average values of quality of life indicators in the domains and subdomains of the questionnaire, determined by the somatic state of the respondents. Respondents recorded higher average values of quality of life indicators in the areas and sub-areas where quality of life was determined by personal characteristics of the patient and social support available to the patients.
CONCLUSION. The somatic and social determinism of the patients' quality of life indicators, using FACT-H&N (Version 4) and WHOQOL-100 questionnaires was established. The authors revealed the correspondence between the quality of life indicators of patients using the FACT-H&N (Version 4) and the WHOQOL-100 questionnaires.
