Özet:

 Cancer is a disease that requires long-term treatment, reduces the patients quality of life and may even result in death. Empowering cancer patients by increasing their level of knowledge and awareness about their disease and ensuring their active participation play an important role in the success of the treatment process. In this study, it was aimed to examine the effect of patient empowerment on quality of life in cancer patients receiving outpatient treatment in a public oncology hospital in Ankara. In this descriptive and cross-sectional study, a questionnaire was applied to 400 cancer patients. The data collection tool consists of Patient Empowerment Scale, SF-12 Quality of Life Scale and sociodemographic questions. It was found that patient empowerment and quality of life were higher in singles, those in the upper income group, young people, those with at least a bachelors degree, teachers and those who did not have children. A moderate positive significant relationship was found between patient empowerment and quality of life. It is thought that it would be beneficial to support trainings for patient empowerment with digital platforms and to carry out studies that will raise awareness in patients and healthcare personnel, especially nurses who are in close contact with patients.

 Kanser, uzun süreli tedavi gerektiren, hastanın yaşam kalitesini düşüren ve hatta ölümle sonuçlanabilen bir hastalıktır. Kanser hastalarının hastalıkları hakkında bilgi ve farkındalık düzeyinin arttırılarak güçlendirilmeleri, aktif katılımlarının sağlanması tedavi sürecinin başarısında önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışmada Ankarada kamuya bağlı bir onkoloji hastanesinde ayakta tedavi gören kanser hastalarında hasta güçlendirmenin yaşam kalitesi üzerindeki etkisini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel nitelikte olan bu çalışmada 400 kanser hastasına anket formu uygulanmıştır. Veri toplama aracı, Hasta Güçlendirme Ölçeği, SF-12 Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği ve sosyodemografik sorulardan oluşmaktadır. Hasta güçlendirmenin ve yaşam kalitesinin bekarlarda, üst gelir grubundakilerde, gençlerde, en az lisans eğitimi alanlarda, öğretmenlerde ve çocuk sahibi olmayanlarda diğerlerine göre daha yüksek olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Hasta güçlendirme ile yaşam kalitesi arasında orta düzeyde pozitif yönlü anlamlı bir ilişki tespit edilmiştir. Hasta güçlendirmeye yönelik eğitimlerin dijital platformlarla desteklenerek, sürecin iki paydaşı olan hasta ve sağlık personelinde özellikle hastalar ile yakın temasta olan hemşirelerde farkındalık oluşturacak çalışmalar yapılmasının faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
