This study used a cross-sectional, descriptive research design. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire from 122 men with prostate cancer undergoing ADT. The data collection period was from November 19, 2018 to February 25, 2019. Data were analyzed using t-tests, χ2 tests, Fisher's exact tests, 4-way ANOVA and multiple regression.RESULTS:
The mean age of the men was 70.3±7.3. There were statistically significant differences in urinary, bowel, sexual and hormonal symptoms according to treatment duration (F=23.74, p<.001). Factors influencing QOL explained 55% of the variance (adjusted R2=.55, p<.001). These factors were depression (β=−.52, p<.001), intimacy (β=.23, p=.001), ADT duration (β=−.17, p=.011), economic status middle (β=.23, p=.006), high (β=.29, p=.001) and sleep (β=.15, p=.023).CONCLUSION:
The study found an association between ADT duration and symptoms, and the factors influencing QOL of participants. It provides a base for future research direction on ADT and patient QOL.
