“…The use of physical versions of the two questionnaires for this study in quantities greater than the estimated sample size, was authorised by the licence owners. The existence of the studies and their corresponding validation for Colombia were previously verified [22].…”

“…Cancer, defined in Colombia as a catastrophic disease due to the technical complexity and high cost of its treatment, and the low costeffectiveness of the interventions [28], generates a worse perception in patients' QoL, a situation that is reflected in this and in other published studies [14,22]. Furthermore, a differing impact on the QoL of people with comorbidities and with progressive disease is shown, demonstrating that there are people with specific needs who must be considered when implementing additional measures to improve their health condition.…”

“…Studies previously conducted in Colombia, such as that of Bermúdez et al [22], where QoL was evaluated using the QLQ-C30 questionnaire in a cancer population which attended a foundation in the city of Bucaramanga, came up with an average score of 60 ± 9.3 (95% CI: 57.01-62.99). This was in accordance with the data obtained in this study, which identified an overall score of 66.05 (95% CI: 63.78-68.32).…”

According to a 2020 report, the World Health Organization explained how, in 20 years, the prevalence of cancer cases will increase by 60% worldwide. In lower-middle-income countries, this figure will be 74.07%. Therefore, the authors propose a series of recommendations, such as how to address both traditional health indicators and the psychosocial environment, to improve the health system. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the impact of cancer on the quality of life (QoL) and health status of oncology patients in Colombia. An observational cross-sectional study using patient reported outcomes tools, such as European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life of Cancer Patients (QLQ-C30) and EuroQoL-5 dimensions questionnaire-3 levels (EQ5D-3L), was carried out. The information of 356 people was compiled. They were contacted by patient associations. The results were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, using ordinary least squares methodology. For the EORTC QLQ-C30, overall health status was 66.05 (95% confidence interval: 63.78-68.32), on the functional scales, emotional and social function were the two scales with the lowest ratings (71.57 and 71.77), without any representative differences. For the EQ5D-3L, the average utility was 0.70 (Standard deviation: 0.20); 50% of people had a utility between 0.63 and 0.82. The analysed population was most affected in the following areas: financial difficulties, insomnia, anxiety, depression and emotional functioning, establishing the need for future interventions and the creation of public policies that generate a better QoL for patients.

Palliative patients require several types of care to improve their quality of life as much as possible, and valid and reliable assessment instruments are essential. The objective of this study is the Spanish validation of the Functional Assessment Chronic Illness Therapy-Palliative Care (FACIT-PAL) and its abbreviated version, FACIT-PAL-14, in palliative care patients. FACIT-PAL and FACIT-PAL-14 were translated into Spanish and administered to 131 terminal oncology patients in home palliative care units, hospital palliative care units, health center teams, and social health centers. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer questionnaire, EORTC-QLQ-C15-PAL version, was used to evaluate the criterion validity. The EORTC-QLQ-C15-PAL was employed as a “gold standard”, and it obtained significant results with FACIT scales. FACIT-PAL-14, FACIT-PAL, and its subscales reported high internal consistency, from 0.640 to 0.816. The exploratory factor analysis for FACIT-PAL-14 found a structure in three factors that explained the 70.10% variance, and the FACIT-PAL scale found a structure of five factors. Physical wellbeing from FACIT-PAL highly correlated to the EORTC-QLQ-C15-PAL (r = 0.700), but social and family wellbeing was correlated to a lesser extent (r = −0.323). FACIT-PAL and the TOI (Toi Outcome Index) were also highly correlated with the EORTC-QLQ-C15-PAL, with values of r = −0.708 and r = −0.709, respectively. The Spanish versions of FACIT-PAL and FACIT-PAL-14 were demonstrated to be valid and reliable scales in palliative care patients.

“…Cuestionario elaborado por European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality Life, que evalúa cinco escalas funcionales (funcionamiento físico, actividades cotidianas, esferas emocional, cognitiva y social), tres escalas de síntomas (fatiga, náuseas-vómito y dolor), seis ítems de síntomas independientes y una escala de percepción de estado global de salud (últimos dos ítems) (13). El paciente asigna un valor a cada uno de los ítems (1: nada, 2: poco, 3: bastante, 4: mucho), a excepción de los dos últimos, los cuales tienen un rango diferente (1: pésima hasta 7: excelente), se estandarizan estos resultados que estarán en un rango de 0 a 100, y así se determina la afectación en la calidad de vida de las personas con cáncer, por lo que puntuaciones más altas indican mejor calidad de vida (14).…”

Introducción: Dado que la imagen corporal constituye un eje transversal en la calidad de vida de la paciente oncológica, es de gran relevancia identificar su impacto en la misma, reconocer su importancia dentro del proceso de salud-enfermedad e incluirla en el abordaje y seguimiento, con el fin de mejorar su calidad de vida. Metodología: Se realizó una revisión ampliada de la literatura en bases de datos de libre acceso como Pubmed, bvs, Dialnet y Clinicalkey, entre agosto y septiembre de 2022; para ello se utilizaron términos MeSH como “cáncer de mama”, “imagen corporal” y “calidad de vida”, en inglés y español, y se relacionaron con el operador booleano “and”, en inglés, e “y”, en español. Resultados: Se seleccionaron 35 artículos, de los cuales 2 utilizaban la eortc qlq c30, 7 utilizaban la encuesta eortc qlq-br23 4 utilizaban bis como única escala. Por otra parte, 17 utilizaban la qlq-br23 y qlq c30, un artículo utilizó qlq-br23 y bis, y solo 4 utilizaban las tres escalas. Conclusiones: Es importante realizar un manejo individualizado en las pacientes con cáncer de mama, teniendo en cuenta que su imagen corporal se ve afectada de manera negativa, lo cual influye en su calidad de vida. Respecto al manejo quirúrgico se determinó que las pacientes sometidas a mastectomía presentan mayor afectación en la percepción de su imagen corporal. Finalmente, en las pacientes manejadas con quimioterapia se evidencia deterioro de la imagen corporal conforme avanza el tratamiento, la caída de cabello representa para ellas una gran preocupación.
