Abstract
This study investigates the factors influencing quality of life for cancer patients based on demographic characteristics, physical-mental health, and oral health. These factors are analyzed using the results from 235 cancer patients in Korea's 7th national health and nutrition survey. Data were analyzed using PASW Statistics Ver. 18.0. Studies show that cancer patients experienced stress (74.5%), depression (84.3%), and activity limitations (15.3%). In oral health, problems chewing were often experienced in groups with low incomes (3.35±.21), activity limitations (2.71±.31), and depression (3.01±.27). The factors influencing quality of life were higher by 3.43 times in the low-income group and by 8.39 times in the activity-restricted group, by 2.74 times in the high-stress group, by 4.58 times in the depression group, by 2.68 times in the chewing-problems group, and were 4.92 times higher in the speech problems group (p<0.05). To improve quality of life, not only mental and physical health care, but also oral care is necessary. An integrated management plan for medical staff in the treatment process of cancer patients is required to prevent mental, physical, and oral discomfort.
