ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Objective: To compare preoperative and early postoperative levels of psychosocial distress in patients undergoing bone metastasis treatment with endoprosthesis, evaluating its impact on quality of life. Methods: Thirteen patients undergoing endoprosthetic treatment of bone metastasis were assessed at two time points: preoperatively and 30 days postoperatively. The tool used was the Distress Thermometer, a questionnaire for psychosocial screening developed by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network. Distress is considered moderate or severe if the patient scores 4 or higher. Results: The most frequent problems in the preoperative period were "bathing and dressing". At 30 days, "fatigue" and "nervousness" prevailed. There was a significant improvement in distress when preoperative and 30-day assessments were compared. Conclusion: The surgical treatment of bone metastasis with endoprosthesis results in an early improvement of psychosocial distress as measured by the Distress Thermometer. Level of evidence II, Prospective and comparative therapeutic study.


RESUMO Objetivo: Confrontar o nível de angústia psicossocial (distress) entre o pré-operatório e o pós-operatório precoce de pacientes submetidos ao tratamento de metástase óssea com endoprótese, avaliando seu impacto na qualidade de vida. Métodos: Foram avaliados 13 pacientes submetidos ao tratamento de metástase óssea com endoprótese em dois momentos: pré-operatório e pós-operatório de 30 dias. A ferramenta utilizada foi o termômetro de Distress, questionário de triagem psicossocial desenvolvido pela National Comprehensive Cancer Network. É considerado distress moderado ou grave se o paciente somar 4 ou mais pontos. Resultados: No pré-operatório, os problemas mais frequentes foram "tomar banho e vestir-se". Com 30 dias, os itens mais prevalentes foram "cansaço" e "nervosismo". Houve melhora significativa do distress quando foram comparadas as avaliações pré-operatória e após 30 dias. Conclusão: O tratamento cirúrgico com endoprótese para metástase óssea reduz precocemente o nível de angústia psicossocial aferido pelo termômetro de Distress. Nível de evidência II, Estudo terapêutico, prospectivo e comparativo.
