Abstract
Purpose: The study aimed to describe the health-related quality of life in postoperative male muscle invasive bladder cancer patients with chemotherapy, and to examine the relationships between age, symptoms, and social support with health-related quality of life among these patients.
Design: A descriptive correlation design.
Methods: Random sampling was used to recruit 106 postoperative male muscle invasive bladder cancer patients with chemotherapy from the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University in China. Data were collected using 1) A demographic information questionnaire, 2) The M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory Questionnaire, 3) The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support questionnaire, and 4) The Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy in Bladder cancer Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.
Main findings: The mean score of health-related quality of life was 79.27 out of 156 (SD = 22.58). There were significant negative relationships between age and symptom with health-related quality of life (r = - .30, p < .01; r = - .77, p < .01, respectively), while social support had positive association with health-related quality of life (r = .62, p < .01).
Conclusion and recommendations: According to the study findings, health-related quality of life was associated with age, symptoms, and social support. To enhance health-related quality of life among postoperative male MIBC receiving chemotherapy, nurses should consider patient age, reducing symptoms, and providing social support to this population.
