Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the quality of life of cancer patients by examining the degree of the COVID-19 pandemic-related depression, anxiety, stress, and treatment-crisis.
Methods: Data were collected from 132 cancer patients undergoing surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and hormone therapy at K University Hospital in D City using a structured questionnaire. The period of data collection was from May 6 to May 28, 2022. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson¡¯s correlation, and stepwise multiple regression.
Results: The mean scores of quality of life, depression, anxiety, stress, and treatment-crisis during the COVID-19 pandemic were 84.64¡¾29.09, 15.14¡¾6.49, 4.66¡¾5.27, 75.83¡¾17.70, and 78.52¡¾19.95, respectively. In terms of factors affecting the quality of life related to the COVID-19 pandemic, COVID-19 pandemic-related stress (¥â=.41, p<.001) appeared to have the greatest impact, followed by COVID-19 pandemic-related treatment-crisis (¥â=.28, p=.002), anxiety (¥â=.21, p=.002), and gender (¥â=.14, p=.009), with a total explanatory power of 67.6%.
Conclusion: To improve the quality of life during the COVID-19 pandemic, COVID-19 pandemic-related stress, treatment-crisis, and anxiety should be periodically monitored and nursing interventions such as education on infection prevention, management, and emotional support programs should be provided to decrease the COVID-19 pandemic-related stress, treatment-crisis, and anxiety.
