Özet:

 Objectives: The research was conducted in a descriptive and cross-sectional manner to determine the quality of life and affecting factors of outpatient chemotherapy patients. Methods: The sample consisted of 314 patients who received treatment in the outpatient chemotherapy unit of a university hospital between May and July 2023. Data were collected by face-to-face interview method using the Patient Information Form and World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale. Results: The mean total score of the patients on the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale is 25.965.81. Female gender, unemployed, illiterate, diagnosed with gynecological cancer, not receiving additional treatment to chemotherapy, taste change after chemotherapy, nausea-vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue, insomnia, weakness, pain, infection, and bleeding, analgesic. It was determined that the quality of life of patients using antidepressant medication was lower and the difference between the groups was significant p 0.05. No significant relationship was found between the age at diagnosis of cancer, comorbid disease status, and the amount of daily fluid consumed, and the total score averages of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Scale p0.05. Conclusion: The quality of life of patients receiving chemotherapy is above average. There are several factors that affect patients quality of life. These are gender, employment status, education level, cancer type, duration of chemotherapy, receiving additional treatment to chemotherapy, and symptoms experienced due to chemotherapy.

 Amaç: Araştırma, ayaktan kemoterapi alan hastaların yaşam kalitesini ve etkileyen faktörleri belirlemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel tipte yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini bir üniversite hastanesinin ayaktan kemoterapi ünitesinde Mayıs-Temmuz 2023 tarihleri arasında tedavi alan 314 hasta oluşturmuştur. Veriler, Hasta Bilgi Formu ve Dünya Sağlık Örgütü Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği kullanılarak yüz yüze görüşme yöntemi ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Hastaların Dünya Sağlık Örgütü Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması 25.965.81dir. Kadın cinsiyet, çalışmayan, okuryazar olmayan, jinekolojik kanser tanısı olan, kemoterapiye ek tedavi almayan, kemoterapiden sonra tat alma değişikliği, bulantı-kusma, iştahsızlık, yorgunluk, uykusuzluk, güçsüzlük, ağrı, enfeksiyon yaşayan ve kanaması olan, analjezik ve antidepresan ilaç kullanan hastaların yaşam kalitelerinin daha düşük olduğu ve gruplar arasındaki farkın anlamlı olduğu belirlenmiştir p0.05. Kanser hastalığı tanı yaşı, komorbid hastalık durumu ve günlük tüketilen sıvı miktarı ile Dünya Sağlık Örgütü Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği toplam puan ortalamaları arasında anlamlı ilişki saptanmamıştır p0.05. Sonuç: Kemoterapi alan hastaların yaşam kaliteleri orta düzeyin üzerindedir. Hastaların yaşam kalitesini etkileyen faktörler; cinsiyet, çalışma durumu, eğitim düzeyi, kanser türü, kemoterapi alma süresi, kemoterapiye ilave tedavi alma durumu ve kemoterapiye bağlı yaşanan semptomlardır.
