Qualidade de vida, representações da doença, apoio social e relacionamento familiar em pacientes com tumores de pele, em fase de Follow-up

Abstract

Este estudo teve como objetivo examinar a relação entre a qualidade de vida, as representações da doença, o apoio social e o stress intrafamiliar, bem como os melhores preditores de qualidade de vida, em pacientes com tumores de pele. A amostra foi constituída por 106 pacientes com tumores de pele (melanoma e carcinoma), em fase de follow-up da doença. Os participantes completaram o Questionário Clínico e Demográfico, o Dermatology Life Quality Index, o Illness Perception Questionnaire, o Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey e o Index of Family Relations. Os resultados revelaram que melhor qualidade de vida estava associada a representações da doença menos ameaçadoras, a maior perceção de apoio social e a menor stress intrafamiliar. As representações da doença consistiram num preditor negativo da qualidade de vida. Os participantes com melanoma evidenciaram pior qualidade de vida, quando comparados aos participantes com carcinoma. Os resultados enfatizam a necessidade de intervenção, incluindo as representações da doença, o apoio social e o stress intrafamiliar, no sentido de promover a qualidade de vida em pacientes com tumores de pele. A intervenção torna-se particularmente importante nos pacientes com melanoma.
