RESUMO
O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o suporte social e qualidade de vida (QV ) em pacientes oncológicos. Para tanto, participaram 68 pacientes diagnosticados com câncer, 85,3% mulheres e a idade variou entre 25 anos e 83 anos (M=55,4; DP=13,3). Esses pacientes responderam ao Questionário de Identificação, a Escala de Percepção de Suporte Social e o Medical Outcomes Study 36 - Item Short - Form Health Survey (SF-36). Os resultados indicaram satisfação com o apoio social e boa QV. Quando comparados a outras amostras de diferentes pesquisas, os pacientes deste estudo demonstraram maior satisfação do suporte social e escores mais baixos de QV. Em relação à variável sexo, os resultados demonstraram maior satisfação com o suporte social pelos homens e na SF-36 maiores médias no domínio físico para as mulheres e saúde mental para os homens. Ressalta-se a importância de investigar o suporte social e QV nesses pacientes, visando diminuir os impactos causados pelo adoecimento.
ABSTRACT
Social and life quality in patients with cancer is investigated. Sixty-eight patients with cancer, comprising 85.3% females, aged between 25 and 83 years (M=55.4; DP=13.3), answered the Identification Questionnaire, Social Support Perception Scale and the Medical Outcomes Study 36 - Item Short - Form Health Survey (SF-36). Results revealed satisfaction with social support and good life quality. When compared to other samples from different research works, current patients demonstrated a higher satisfaction rate in social support and low LQ scores. In the case of the variable gender, results showed higher satisfaction with social support in males and higher means in SF-36 in physical domain for females and mental health for males. It is greatly relevant to investigate the social support and LQ in these patients to decrease impacts caused by disease.
