“…The total score ranges from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating higher levels of function and quality of life . The Chinese version of the UW‐QOL has acceptable reliability and validity . Cronbach's alpha of the study data was.82 (good) for the physical function scale and.87 (good) for the social‐emotional functional scale.…”

“…The summed scores of each domain and the global score were converted into standardized scores that range from 0 to 100, with a higher score indicating the need for more support . The Chinese version of this scale has excellent psychometric properties (Cronbach's alpha for the SSS was .90 and.95, respectively) . Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the study data was.96 (excellent).…”

Objective: To compare the levels of social support, physical function, and socialemotional function between oral cavity cancer survivors who did or did not resume work 6 months or longer after treatment completion. Methods: This cross-sectional study examined survivors of oral cavity cancer who were treated at the outpatient radiation department of a medical center in Northern Taiwan. Questionnaires were used to collect data regarding perceived social support, physical function, social-emotional function, and return to work status after treatment. Logistic regression was conducted to determine factors related to returning to work. Results: We examined 174 survivors of oral cavity cancer, 55.2% of whom returned to work after treatment. Relative to survivors who returned to work, those who did not return to work reported needing greater tangible social support, having fewer positive social interactions, having poorer physical function, and having poorer social-emotional function. Multivariable analysis indicated that younger age (OR = 0.864, P < .05), higher family income (OR = 10.835, P < .05), sufficient tangible social support (OR = 0.943, P < .05), positive social interaction (OR = 1.025, P < .05), and better physical function (OR = 1.062, P < .05) were significantly associated with the return to work. Conclusions: Survivors of oral cavity cancer who did not return to work had worse physical and social-emotional function and required more tangible social support and positive social interactions. Providing occupational rehabilitation and counseling for oral cavity cancer survivors may help them return to work.

Objective: The purpose of this study of survivors of head and neck cancer was to evaluate the effects of a behavior change program and health education on depression, fear of social interactions, avoidance of social interactions, physical function, and social-emotional function.Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial of 100 subjects, in which changes in the scores of several psychometric scales were recorded for an experimental group (behavior change program and health education) and a control group (routine care only). Assessments were performed at baseline (T0), and at 1 month (T1), 2 months (T2), and 3 months (T3) after completing the intervention.Results: After the intervention, the experimental group reported significantly less fear of social interactions, less avoidance of social interactions, and better physical function than the control group. The experimental group also had less depression at T3 than at T0, although there was no such change in the control group. Analysis of physical function indicated that both groups experienced improvements from T0 to T1, slight declines from T1 to T2, and slight declines from T2 to T3; however, both groups had significantly better physical function at T3 than at T0. Conclusions: Head and neck cancer patients who received a behavior change program and health education reported less fear of social interactions, less avoidance of social interactions, and improved physical function during the 3 months after this intervention.

Objective: The purpose of this study of posttreatment oral cavity cancer (OCC) patients was to identify factors associated with self-reported overall body image, perceived attractiveness, and dissatisfaction with body appearance. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited patients with OCC from the outpatient radiation department of a single cancer center in Northern Taiwan. Demographic and clinical characteristics were recorded, and patients were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale (LSAS), the University of Washington Quality of Life Scale (UW-QOL), and the Body Image Scale (BIS). Results: A total of 168 patients were included in this current study, 76 females and 92 males. Negative overall body image was associated with greater degree of depression, greater fear of social interactions, poorer social-emotional function, receipt of surgery, female gender, and greater avoidance of social interaction; these factors explained 49.0% of the variance in this outcome measure. Poor perceived attractiveness was associated with greater depression, greater fear of social interaction, and receipt of surgery; these factors explained 25.4% of the variance in this outcome measure. Dissatisfaction with body appearance was associated with poor socialemotional function, greater fear of social interaction, receipt of reconstruction, advanced cancer stage, and female gender; these factors explained 52.2% of the variance in this outcome measure. Conclusions: This study of posttreatment OCC patients indicated that depression and fear of social interaction strongly influenced overall body image, perceived attractiveness, and dissatisfaction with body appearance. KEYWORDS cancer, body image, depression, oncology, quality of life 1 | BACKGROUNDCancer is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Oral cavity cancer (OOC), which refers to cancer anywhere in the mouth (including the lips, tongue, cheeks, mouth floor, and gums) 1 has an annual worldwide incidence 2 of 300 000. In Taiwan, OCC has become the fourth most common cancer among males, and the most common sites for OCC are the buccal mucosa and tongue. The high incidence of OCC in Taiwan reflects the widespread practice of betel quid chewing by males. 3 The cancer itself and its treatment commonly
