Relationship of Body Weight, Anxiety Depression, and Quality of Life in Patients with Radical Gastrectomy according to Perioperative Period

Purpose: This study was designed to construct a predictive model to explain quality of life of stomach cancer patients with gastrectomy. Methods: Data were collected from July 10 to August 30, 2013 through survey using self-reported questionnaires. A total of 218 patients with gastrectomy was recruited from three different hospitals. Outcome variables were exogenous ones (self efficacy and social support) and endogenous ones (depression, perceived health status, self care behavior, and quality of life). Results: Goodness-of-fit of the hypothetical model was x 2 =143.37, RMSEA=.07 CFI=.95, TLI=.93 SRMR=.05. Self care behavior, depression and perceived health status had significant direct effects on quality of life. Self efficacy and social support were affected quality of life indirectly. These variables explained 67.9% of total variance of quality of life, and self-care behavior was the most influential factor for quality of life. Conclusion: The findings of this study suggested that self care behavior must be considered as an intervention strategy to improve quality of life. Also a development of a specific intervention program to promote self efficacy and control depression for patients with gastrectomy is essential to facilitate their self care behaviors.

연구의 필요성위암은Purpose: The aims of this study was to identify factors associated with nutritional status after radical gastrectomy in patients with gastric cancer at the post 1 month and the post 3-6 months independently. Methods: Participants consisted of 107 patients at the post 1 month and 131 patients at the post 3-6 months after radical gastrectomy. Data were collected from October 1, 2013 to May 14, 2014 using a Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Results: Stepwise multiple regression showed that factors associated with nutritional status at 1 month after radical gastrectomy were age (β = .55, p < .001), anxiety (β = .25, p = .007), and depression (β = .23, p = .017), which explained the 42.6% of total variance of nutritional status. However, factors associated with nutritional status at 3-6 months after radical gastrectomy were depression (β= .41, p = .017), return to work (β= .20, p < .001), and age (β= .29, p = .024), which explained 27.1% of the total variance of nutritional status. Conclusion: In conclusion, oncology nurses should be sensitive to the risk group of aged, depressed, anxious and delayed return to work patients for nutritional status during the early recovery period after radical gastrectomy.
