Methods: The current study is a descriptive quantitative approach that seeks to identify the QOL of breast cancer patients during their radiotherapy treatment. A convenience sample of 30 women undergoing radiotherapy for breast cancer completed the EORTC QLQ-C30 questionnaire on Day 1 and Day 28. Results: Results showed significant differences in QOL between the two sessions. Decreases in overall health (88.33 to 61.67) and functional health (76.45 to 67.77) were noted in parallel to an increase in the scale of symptoms (13.85 for 24.62). Conclusions: The radiotherapeutic treatment impacts the QOL of patients with breast cancer. It is crucial for the nursing team to work together with a multi-professional team to adequately manage the treatment of these patients adequately. Objectif : Déterminer la qualité de vie (QDV) des patientes atteintes du cancer du sein en traitement de radiothérapie. Méthodologie : La présente étude vise à mesurer, grâce à une approche quantitative descriptive, la QDV des patientes atteintes de cancer du sein traitées par radiothérapie. Un échantillon de commodité de 30 femmes en traitement de radiothérapie a répondu au questionnaire EORTC QLQ-C30 au jour 1 (1re séance de traitement) et au jour 28 (28e séance). Résultats : Des écarts notables dans la QDV se dégagent entre les deux collectes de données. Outre une dégradation de la santé générale (de 88,33 à 61,67) et de la santé fonctionnelle (de 76,45 à 67,77), une augmentation de l'intensité des symptômes (de 13,85 à 24,62) a été observée. Conclusion : Le traitement de radiothérapie nuit à la QDV des patientes atteintes du cancer du sein. L'équipe infirmière doit donc travailler en concertation avec une équipe multiprofessionnelle pour gérer adéquatement le traitement. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: questionnaire/scale research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
