유방암 및 부인과 암 생존자의 삶의 질에 대한 생존단계별 비교 연구

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 유방암 및 부인과 암 생존자를 대상으로 암 생존 단계에 따른 삶의 질의 차이를 다각적인 측면에서 조사함으로써 그들의 삶의 질을 생존 단계별로 이해하는데 그 목적이 있다. 서울에 거주하는 110명의 유방암 및 부인과 암 생존자를 대상으로 세 개의 표준화된 삶의 질 척도를 사용하였고, 연구분석을 위해 급성, 확장, 영속적 생존단계에 따라 크게 세 집단으로 구분하였다. 연구 결과는 암 생존자의 생존 기간이 길어지면서 신체적 측면에서의 삶의 질이 전반적으로 향상됨을 증명하였다. 하지만, 심리 사회적 기능과 관련된 영역에서는 유의미한 차이를 보여주지 못했다. 본 연구는 향후 암 생존자의 삶의 질을 향상시키기 위해, 생존 단계를 고려한 차별화된 전략 개발 및 다각적 측면에서의 사회사업적 접근을 시사한다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Purpose: This study aims to better understand the quality of life (QOL) for Korean breast and gynecological cancer survivors by examining the differences in multi-dimensional QOL outcomes according to stage of cancer survivorship.
Methods: To identify the multiple dimensions of health status and psychosocial outcomes, three standardized QOL and psychological distress measures were administered to 110 Korean breast and gynecological cancer survivors. These participants were divided into three groups based on the stage of cancer survivorship.
Results: Analyses of covariance revealed that once important confounders were controlled for, QOL outcomes were partially different depending on the stage of cancer survivorship. Results for SF-36 measure showed significant differences between acute and long-term survival stages, indicating that QOL for cancer survivors had gradually improved in the physical domain. However, there were no significant group differences in the psychological domain of SF-36. Additionally, QOL-CS and BSI-18 measures did not show significant QOL differences according to the stage of cancer survivorship.
Conclusions: Evidence that, for Korean survivors, QOL outcomes differ according to the stage of cancer survivorship serves as a rationale for developing discriminatory strategies and interventions that take into account survival stage.
