Analysis of factors influencing quality of life in long-term breast cancer survivors
Objective To provide reference for improving the quality of life in long-term breast cancer survivors by analyzing its influencing factors.Methods Based on the American Cancer Society guideline,a long-term breast cancer survivor was defined as an individual with breast cancer who had survived for at least 5 years since being diagnosed.A total of 202 patients diagnosed with breast cancer in the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2017 to December 2017 were recruited.The 202 long-term breast cancer survivors were surveyed between January 2023 and April 2023 using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire(EORTC QLQ-C30).Data were analyzed by SPSS 26.0 software.Results The mean score of the overall quality of life of 202 long-term breast cancer survivors was 65.88 points.In the EORTC QLQ-C30 functional scale,the cognitive function score was the lowest.Financial hardship scored was the highest in the EORTC QLQ-C30 symptom scale.Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the quality of life of long-term breast cancer survivors was significantly correlated with body mass index,residence,living style,working status,monthly family income,payment method,cost impact,clinical stage and surgical method.Conclusion The 5-year survival rate of breast cancer patients is high,and the quality of life is particularly important to evaluate their prognosis.The long-term quality of life of breast cancer patients can be improved by controlling the body mass index,improving the living environment of patients,emphasizing the early diagnosis and treatment,selecting the appropriate treatment plan,adjusting the working status,and improving the sustainability of their work.
