| Popis: | Oral cancer therapy is associated with a loss in health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and can also lead to post-traumatic growth (PTG). The current study analyzed the relationship between HRQOL, PTG and influencing clinical factors after treatment. The coherent clinical data of 15 patients were retrospectively analyzed over a 1-year study period. HRQOL and PTG were studied using the University of Washington Quality of Life Version 4 (UW-QOL v4) and Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI) questionnaires. The results revealed that HRQOL was significantly decreased in a pre- to postoperative manner (P=0.011). Sex demonstrated a nearly significant effect on HRQOL (P=0.058). PTG was experienced the most after surgery, and continuously decreased over the 1-year study period. Patient age had a significant effect on PTG (P=0.040). A significant correlation was also established between HRQOL and PTG (P |
