| Miêu tả: | Objective: to assess the level of quality of life among male patients undergoing chemotherapy. Method: this a descriptive study with a quantitative approach carried out from April to June 2019, at the chemotherapy service of a teaching hospital in northern Ceará. The data collection was carried out using a sociodemographic questionnaire and an instrument to assess the quality of life. Results: 61 patients participated in the study; they were of an average age of 60.29 years old, married and with low education. The quality of life domains that had lower mean scores were physical and self-rated quality of life. The best assessed domains were psychological, social relationships and the environment. Conclusion: the self-assessment of the general quality of life of the participants obtained a relatively satisfactory evaluation showing that the impact of cancer on the quality of life of male patients undergoing chemotherapy mainly affected aspects related to the physical domain, which demands a multi-professional approach with comprehensive and holistic nursing to mitigate the implications of this pathology and to improve the quality of life of the subjects. |
