| Abstract: | Background Quality of life (QOL) issues are of interest in cancer because effective methods of treatment and detection have led to an
increase in the number of long-term survivors. The objectives of the study were: to assess the subjective QOL of stable Sudanese
women cancer outpatients and their family caregivers, using the WHO 26-item QOL Instrument; compare with matched general population
groups, as well as diabetic and psychiatric patient groups; examine patient-caregiver concordance in ratings; and assess the
variables associated with their QOL, with a view to identifying factors that can enhance quality of care. |
