Abstract(s)
O presente estudo dedicou-se sobre a avaliação do medo de progressão da
doença, relacionando-o com variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas, sintomatologia de
ansiedade e de depressão e a relação destas com a qualidade de vida dos sobreviventes
de cancro da região da Beira Interior. Para tal, foi recolhida uma amostra de
conveniência numa unidade hospitalar e num projeto comunitário da região. Os
inquiridos deveriam responder ao protocolo de avaliação composto pelos seguintes
instrumentos: Questionário Sóciodemográfico e Clínico, Patient Health Questionnaire
(PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7), Fear of Progression
Questionnaire-Short Form (FoP- Q-SF) e Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30
(EORTC QLQ C-30). A amostra revelou níveis de medo da progressão da doença
inseridos nos valores normativos, exibindo ainda diferenças entre sexos e níveis de
habilitações literárias. Foi também assinalada a presença de uma relação entre a
sintomatologia de depressão, de ansiedade e o medo da progressão da doença, além de
associações negativas entre a qualidade de vida e essas variáveis. Estudos focados na
avaliação de domínios como o medo de progressão da doença permitem conhecer o
grupo de sobreviventes oncológicos de forma mais aprofundada e adaptar as
intervenções e serviços prestados às suas necessidades.
