Health-related quality of life among patients with advanced cancer: an integrative review

Esta revisão integrativa da literatura objetivou caracterizar artigos abordando a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde — QVRS — de pacientes com câncer avançado nas literaturas nacional e internacional e sumarizar os fatores contribuintes para a melhora ou a piora da QVRS de pacientes com câncer avançado, evidenciados na literatura pesquisada. A busca foi realizada nas bases eletrônicas CINHAL, EMBASE, PUBMED, SCIELO e LILACS. Dentre os 21 artigos que compuseram a amostra, 13 evidenciaram melhora da QVRS de pacientes com câncer avançado mediante a realização de intervenções físicas, emocionais e espirituais. Em oito estudos, foram identificados sinais e sintomas preditores de baixa QVRS, como dor, fadiga, distúrbio do sono, depressão, alterações nutricionais, entre outros. Os resultados mostram que manifestações clínicas inerentes ao câncer são fatores que podem rebaixar a QVRS do paciente, enquanto os benefícios físicos, psicológicos e espirituais resultantes de intervenções terapêuticas, podem promover a melhora.Esta revisión integradora de la literatura tuvo como objetivo caracterizar los artículos de la literatura nacional e internacional que abordan la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud (CVRS) de los pacientes con cáncer avanzado y resumir los factores evidenciados en la literatura que contribuyen a mejorarla o empeorarla.

This integrative literature review aimed to characterize scientific articles on health-related quality of life – HRQoL – among patients with advanced cancer from national and international literature, and summarize those factors evidenced in the literature that contributed to the improvement or worsening of HRQoL among patients with advanced cancer. The search for materials was conducted in the following databases: CINAHL, EMBASE, PubMed, SciELO and LILACS. Among the 21 articles in the sample, 13 showed an improvement of HRQoL among patients with advanced cancer related to the development of physical, emotional and spiritual interventions. In eight studies, we identified predictive symptoms of low HRQoL, such as pain, fatigue, sleep disorders, depression, nutritional changes, and others. The results showed that clinical manifestations, which many times were inherent in cancer, such as factors that can lower patients’ HRQoL, while physical, psychological and spiritual benefits resulting from therapeutic interventions may promote its improvement.
