Özet
This study aims to evaluate patients' quality of life (QoL) and perceptions of information after cancer surgery. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted using the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) information module questionnaire (QLQ-INFO25) and the EORTC Core Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQ-C30), which were given to patients to complete post-surgery. A total of 160 patients completed the questionnaires. There were 82 men and 78 women, with a mean age of 55.29. The average global QoL score, as measured in the QLQ C-30, was 89.76. The symptom with the highest reported score was fatigue. The average total QLQ-INFO25 score was 63.05. The highest level of information provided was perceived to be about “medical tests”, while the lowest was about “other services”. The extent of the disease had a significant effect on QLQ-INFO25 scores. The global QoL scores among post-operative surgical oncology patients were quite high, and the mean scores of the functional scales were moderate. Patient perceptions of the information provided were above average. Different nurse training techniques should be used to increase patients’ information satisfaction and QoL.
