          Abstract

          ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the quality of life of patients with advanced cancer in palliative therapy and in palliative care. Materials and Methods: Quantitative, observational, cross-sectional, and analytic study conducted in a teaching hospital in Paraná, Brazil, from January to June 2018, with 126 patients: 107 in palliative therapy; 19 in exclusive palliative care. The questionnaires for data collection were: Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 15-Palliative, Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Palliative Care 14, and Edmonton Symptom Assessment System. The Spearman non-parametric coefficient test was used for the analysis. Results: The overall quality of life in palliative therapy and in palliative care was, respectively, 71.54/59.65; when correlating the total score of quality of life of the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 15-Palliative with the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Palliative Care 14 (p = 0.001), and the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (p = 0.001), significant difference of better quality of life was observed in the palliative therapy. Conclusion: Patients in palliative therapy have good overall quality of life, while the palliative care group reports regular quality of life. The symptoms were milder in the palliative therapy and more intense and with greater significance in palliative care; hence, knowing the compromise of quality of life will help professionals in planning interventions with transdisciplinary approach for patients and for their families.

          RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar a qualidade de vida de pacientes com câncer avançado em terapêutica paliativa e em cuidado paliativo. Material e método: estudo quantitativo, observacional, transversal e analítico, desenvolvido num hospital de ensino no Paraná, Brasil, de janeiro a junho de 2018, com 126 pacientes, sendo 107 em terapêutica paliativa e 19 no cuidado paliativo exclusivo. Os questionários para a coleta de dados foram: Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 15-Palliative, Functional Assessment of Chronic Ilness Therapy-Palliative Care 14 e Edmonton Symptom Assessment System. O teste de coeficiente não paramétrico de Spearman foi utilizado para a análise. Resultados: a qualidade de vida global na terapêutica paliativa e no cuidado paliativo foi respectivamente 71,54/59,65; quando correlacionados o escore total de qualidade de vida do Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 15-Palliative com o Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Palliative Care 14 (p = 0,001) e a Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (p = 0,001), observou-se diferença significativa de melhor qualidade de vida na terapêutica paliativa. Conclusão: os pacientes em terapia paliativa possuem qualidade de vida global boa, enquanto o grupo cuidado paliativo, regular. Os sintomas foram mais leves na terapia paliativa e mais intensos e com maior significância no cuidado paliativo; portanto, conhecer o comprometimento da qualidade de vida auxiliará os profissionais no planejamento de intervenções com enfoque transdisciplinar para o paciente e para sua família.

            Early Versus Delayed Initiation of Concurrent Palliative Oncology Care: Patient Outcomes in the ENABLE III Randomized Controlled Trial.

            Randomized controlled trials have supported integrated oncology and palliative care (PC); however, optimal timing has not been evaluated. We investigated the effect of early versus delayed PC on quality of life (QOL), symptom impact, mood, 1-year survival, and resource use.

              The development of the EORTC QLQ-C15-PAL: a shortened questionnaire for cancer patients in palliative care.

              This study aimed at developing a shortened version of the EORTC QLQ-C30, one of the most widely used health-related quality of life questionnaires in oncology, for palliative care research. The study included interviews with 41 patients and 66 health care professionals in palliative care to determine the appropriateness, relevance and importance of the various domains of the QLQ-C30. Item response theory methods were used to shorten scales. Patients and health care professionals rated pain, physical function, emotional function, fatigue, global health status/quality of life, nausea/vomiting, appetite, dyspnoea, constipation, and sleep as most important. Therefore, these scales/items were retained in the questionnaire. Four scales were shortened without reducing measurement precision. Important dimensions not covered by the questionnaire were identified. The resulting 15-item EORTC QLQ-C15-PAL is a 'core questionnaire' for palliative care. Depending on the research questions, it may be supplemented by additional items, modules or questionnaires.
