Abstract ABSTRACT
Background Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) is a crucial health outcome that guides strategies for improving clinical care among cervical cancer survivors. Advances in cancer screening and treatment have led to an increase in the number of cervical cancer survivors (CCS) in Zambia. However, cancer and its treatment negatively impact their health, and little is known or documented about HRQoL among these survivors.
This study aimed to determine the HRQoL among CCS at the Cancer Diseases Hospital and University Teaching Hospitals in Lusaka.
Methods A cross-sectional study involved 83 conveniently selected CCS. Data were collected using an interview schedule with questions from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer, along with self-structured questions. The study received approval from the Zambia Biomedical Research Committee. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for data analysis, with a confidence interval set at 95%. Chi-square and linear regression tests were applied to assess associations. HRQoL scores ranged from 0 to 100, where higher scores (≥ 66.7%) indicated good HRQoL.
ResultsThe mean HRQoL score was 60.9. Factors influencing HRQoL included the stage of cervical cancer at diagnosis, and the time point of treatment.
Conclusion The study findings indicate that HRQoL among cervical cancer survivors is poor. Therefore, to enhance quality care, it is essential to incorporate HRQoL assessment into the routine management of cervical cancer survivors.
