“…Our results showed mean FACT-G scores in GTN patients was 98.2, demonstrating that most of GTN patients were considered in mild impairment group (score range 73-108) (Fisch et al, 2003). Comparing to other studies in similar setting in Thailand, the quality of life by FACT-G scores in GTN patients are higher than other gynecologic cancer patients (Wilailak et al, 2011;Srisuttayasathien and Khemapech, 2013). Wilailak et al reported overall FACT-G score in gynecologic cancer patient group was 82.15 (Wilailak et al, 2011).…”

“…Wilailak et al reported overall FACT-G score in gynecologic cancer patient group was 82.15 (Wilailak et al, 2011). Another study about recurrent ovarian cancer showed overall FACT-G score only 76.3 (Srisuttayasathien and Khemapech, 2013). Thus, GTN patients in Thailand seem to have better quality of life than other gynecologic cancer patients.…”

Background: This study investigated the utilization of both problem and emotion focused coping strategies and their association with aspects of quality of life among Turkish women with ovarian cancer undergoing chemotherapy. Materials and Methods: The convenience sample consisted of 228 patients in all disease stages. The data were collected using the brief COPE, QOL-Cancer patient tool, sociodemographic sheet, and medical variables were gathered from patients' medical charts. Results: Findings reveal that quality of life is moderately high for this group of cancer patients, despite some specific negative facets of the illness and treatment experience. Acceptance, emotional support and religion were the most frequently used problem-focused coping strategies and self-distraction, venting and behavioral disengagement were the most frequently used emotion-focused coping strategies reported by patients. Overall quality of life and, particularly, psychological and spiritual wellbeing scores of younger patients were lower. Patients reported using significantly more problem-focused coping than emotion-focused coping, and more problem-focused and less emotion-focused coping predicted greater quality of life. Problem-focused coping was related to patients' physical and spiritual well-being and emotionfocused coping was related inversely with psychological and social well-being. Conclusions: Coping strategies are influential in patient quality of life and their psychosocial adaptation to ovarian cancer. Psycho-oncology support programs are needed to help patients to frequent use of problem-focused coping and reduce emotionfocused coping strategies to improve overall quality of life.

“…Disease and treatments about disease threatens not only life but also it can be perceived as a threat for reproductivity, sexuality, feminity. Furthermore it is told that gynecologic cancers and their treatment methods affect the quality of life negatively (Reis et al, 2006;Pinar et al, 2012;Srisuttayasathien and Khemapech, 2013).…”

The aim of this study was to determine the level of social support and quality of life in Turkish patients with gynecologic cancer using a cross-sectional survey design. A total of 108 patients admitted to the gynecologic oncology clinic at a university hospital from September 2011 to January 2012 were included. Data were collected using patient information forms, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) and The Quality of Life-Cancer Survivors Instrument (QOL-CS). Average age was 54.5±10.8 years and it was determined that 65.7% of patients had ovarian cancer and 19.4% had cervical cancer. The total QOL-CS mean score was 5.59±1.10. Average score of total MSPSS was found to be 69.7±14.64. Comparing socio-demographic and clinical characteristics of patients and average scores of QOL-CS and MSPSS, it was found that there was not a statisticaly significant corelation (p>0.05). Statistically significant relation was found between the average scores of QOL-CS and MSPSS. These results showed that quality of life was moderate and perceived social support was high in Turkish patients with gynecologic cancer.
