Abstract

BACKGROUND: Quality of life (QOL) and mood were prospectively investigated during the first year of treatment among women with gynecologic cancers. Relationships of coping styles to QOL and mood were examined. METHODS: Ninety‐eight patients with early stage or regionally advanced gynecologic cancers were recruited. Mood and QOL were assessed at initial clinic visit and at one year, and medical information was abstracted from charts at both time‐points. RESULTS: Although decrements in physical, functional, and total well‐being were reported at baseline by regionally advanced patients, by one year, all patients reported significant improvements in QOL and mood. There were no differences between early stage and regionally advanced patients in their improvement for these measures. Controlling for medical variables and age, patients who coped using greater acceptance and positive reframing at their initial visits reported better one year QOL; those with continued higher levels of these adaptive coping strategies at one year reported better concurrent functional and emotional well‐being. Greater seeking of social support at one year was associated with better concurrent social well‐being and doctor‐patient relationships. In contrast, disengaged coping at study entry was associated with poorer doctor‐patient relationships at one year; continued disengagement at one year was associated with poorer concurrent QOL and greater distress. CONCLUSIONS: During the first year following treatment, QOL and mood improved among both early stage and regionally advanced gynecologic oncology patients. Patients using disengaged coping are particularly at risk for poor QOL and distress. Cancer 2002;94:131–40. © 2002 American Cancer Society.

  • Ovarian cancer survivors often have long-term symptoms such as anxiety, depression, sleep problems, fatigue, physical symptoms, reduced health-related quality of life, and a poor outlook.

    “Ovarian cancer (OC) survivors commonly experience chronic symptoms including anxiety, depression, sleep disturbances, fatigue, physical symptoms, poor health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and a generally poor prognosis.”

    From Living Well: Protocol for a web-based program to improve quality of life in rural and urban ovarian cancer survivors (2024) · cites this paper as [5]

    The Patient Characteristics section (page not available in our copy) reports sleep disturbances and low energy at one year, as well as elevated anxiety, depression, and poorer physical and overall quality of life at study entry. But the study includes several gynecologic cancers, not ovarian cancer survivors alone, and reports that mood and quality of life improved over the first year. Its poorer-prognosis description applies to the regionally advanced group, not to ovarian cancer survivors generally. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
