ABSTRACT

Objective:

To explore the quality of life of patients with advanced lung cancer and its influencing factors.

Methods:

A total of 220 patients with advanced lung cancer in Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from June 2017 to June 2019 were selected. The European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30 (QLQ-C30) and Quality and Life Questionnaire of Lung Cancer (QLQ-LC13) were used to evaluate the quality of life of patients. Combined with the clinicopathological data of the patients, multiple linear regression method was used to analyze the factors affecting the quality of life of patients with advanced lung cancer.

Results:

A total of 220 questionnaires were issued, and 184 (83.6%) valid questionnaires were returned. There were 102 cases (55.4%) of male and 82 cases (44.6%) of female. Among the 5 functional areas of QLQ-C30, the score of social function was low [(60.2±11.8) points], and the score of cognitive function was high [(78.5±13.4) points]; among the 3 symptom areas, the score of pain was high [(36.8±10.3) points]; among the 6 single items, the lack of appetite was more serious [(58.5±10.5) points]. Among the 10 symptom areas of QLQ-LC13, shortness of breath and cough were more prominent [(34.6±9.5) points and (33.6±6.8) points]. The quality of life of female patients, patients with older age, patients with fewer children, patients with more organ metastases, patients with other diseases and patients with chemotherapy was poor (all P < 0.05), while there was no correlation between smoking status, occupation and education level and the quality of life of advanced lung cancer patients (all P > 0.05).

Conclusions:

The quality of life of advanced lung cancer patients is closely related to gender, age, the number of children, the number of metastatic organs, with or without diseases and treatment methods. Targeted intervention measures are helpful to improve the quality of life of patients.
