Cervical cancer is the main cause of malignancy-related death among women living in developing countries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the quality of life (QOL) among Bangladeshi cervical cancer survivors and its relationships with demographic and disease related factors A cross-sectional study was carried out on one hundred nine consecutive cervical cancer survivors in National Institute of cancer Research and Hospital, Dhaka from September 2014 to february2015 using European organization for Research and treatment of cancer core Questionnaires (QOL-C30 and QOL-CX24). Demographic condition like education level, occupation and disease related factors like stages, treatment modality and duration of follow-up time were taken as investigating factors against functional scales. Cronbach´s alpha was calculated to asses' internal consistency among items.Cervical cancer survivors stated a moderate QOL. Sub-domains of QOL score and global health status were significantly associated with physical function(PF) scales (p=.000), fatigue (p=.045), nausea and vomiting (p=.000), Appetite loss (p=.001), constipation (p=.005), symptom experience (p=.005) and menopausal symptoms (p=.015). QOL mean score were negatively associated with emotional function(EF) scales, pain, fatigue, nausea, appetite loss and financial problems. Education level showed significant association with physical function(PF) (p=.001), emotional function(EF) (p=.027), Cognitive function(CF) (p=.000) and sexual function (p=.001). Duration (Follow-up) time was significance association with PF (p=.005), EF (p=.012), symptoms experience (p=.001). Although, the QOL in cervical cancer survivors was moderate, treatment of related symptoms and improvement of demographic condition can influence the QOL and survivors improve the care of cervical cancer. So, improve the QOL among cervical cancer survivors.

“…Because modern mental health systems no longer center on institutions, they have great potential to promote social inclusion by fostering person-centered, recovery-focused care. Indeed, a growing body of evidence shows that effective interventions can help individuals reintegrate back into society and return to meaningful roles and relationships [30 ].…”

“…The adjunct statement appears to be an appropriate motto for the global mental health agenda (Prince et al, 2007). Key papers in the Lancet series on global mental health (Patel, Saxena, & Prince, 2007) and other studies (e.g., Beinecke, Daniels, Peters, & Silvestri, 2009;Patel & Prince, 2010;Shah & Beinecke, 2009) attest to the importance of attending to mental health issues when considering overall health. These valuable papers and chapters document the scope of the problem of mental disorders and provide empirical evidence of the high cost of neglecting mental health services.…”

The global mental health (GMH) research agenda should include both culture-general and culture-specific perspectives to ensure ecological validity of findings. Despite its title, the current GMH research agenda appears to be using a monocultural model that is individualistic, illness-oriented, and focused on intrapsychic processes. Ironically, issues of culture are prominently absent in many discussions of global mental health. This paper highlights some issues and concerns considered key to conducting ecologically valid and socially responsible GMH research. The concerns are particularly directed at researchers from dominant cultures who are working in low-income countries. Central to these issues is the balance between etic and emic perspectives in assessment, diagnosis, and intervention, as well as language, engagement of stakeholders and their agendas, and evaluation of the benefit of interventions to the community. New terminology is proposed that identifies broad cultural groups, and recommendations provided for a research agenda to encourage both basic and applied research that mutually benefits all stakeholders in the GMH research endeavor.
