Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
がん患者の療養生活の質の維持向上の重要性が世界的に指摘されている。しかしながら、日本人消化器がん患者の健康関連QOLを手術前から在宅復帰後まで縦断的に調査した研究は、多くは単施設で得られたデータが使用され、一般化に制限がある。本研究では、急性期医療機関3施設で手術治療を受けた消化器がん患者を対象に調査し、周術期の変化と影響因子を明らかにした。今後は、消化器がん患者の術後早期の健康関連QOL改善に向け、在宅復帰後も多職種で連携するなど、更なる取り組みが必要である。
