Abstract
La presente investigación tiene como objetivo conocer la relación existente entre la calidad de vida relacionada a la salud (CVRS) y los estilos y estrategias de afrontamiento en un grupo de pacientes con cáncer gastrointestinal. La muestra estuvo constituida por 38 pacientes, entre 31 y 70 años (M=56.16, DS=10.60), que asisten a tres hospitales de Lima. Para ello, se utilizó la adaptación española del cuestionario de calidad de vida relacionada a la salud (SF-36) (Alonso, Prieto & Antó, 1995) y el inventario de estimación de afrontamiento COPE (Carver, Scheier & Weintraub, 1989). Se hallaron relaciones significativas e inversas entre la dimensión de salud mental con el estilo evitativo y la estrategia desentendimiento conductual. Respecto a las dimensiones de calidad de vida, salud mental y salud general estuvieron asociadas a las estrategias de planificación y acudir a la religión. La mayoría de participantes presentan niveles promedio y alto en las dimensiones de CVRS, lo que nos indica que la calidad de vida se encuentra preservada, a excepción del rol físico y componente físico. Además, respecto al afrontamiento se observó que la muestra hace un mayor uso del estilo centrado en la emoción y de la estrategia acudir a la religión. Asimismo, se encontraron diferencias significativas en la CVRS según antecedentes de enfermedad y en afrontamiento con las variables de sexo, estado civil y nivel de instrucción.
This research sets out to know the relationship between Health Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) and coping styles and strategies in a group of patients with gastrointestinal cancer. The sample was compounded by 38 patients, between 31 and 70 years old (M=56.16, DS=10.60) from three hospitals in Lima. To achieve this, The Health Survey Questionnaire (SF-36) version by Alonso, Prieto y Antó (1995) and the COPE inventory (Carver, Scheier & Weintraub, 1989) were used. Significant and inverse relationships between mental health dimension with avoidant style and behavioral disengagement strategy was found. Regarding the dimensions of quality of life, mental health and general health were associated with planning and turn to religion strategies. Most participants show medium and high levels of HRQOL dimensions, which indicates that the quality of life is preserved, except for physical role and physical component. Additionally, regarding to coping, it was observed that the sample makes greater use of emotion-focused style and turn to religion strategy. Finally, there was significant differences in HRQOL according to a history of disease and coping with variables of sex, marital status and education level.
