导论.癌症是一种严重的身体和心理疾病，影响患者及其护理人员。在这项研究中，健康相关的生活质量（HRQoL）的病人照顾者在化疗期间的二人组进行了评估。材料与方法。2008年10月至2009年3月期间，共有222名癌症患者-护理人员参加了这项研究。采用EQ-5D评估HRQoL。结果样本的平均年龄分别为57.4岁和48.9岁的病人和照顾者。EQ-5D描述性系统表明，女性患者比男性患者更频繁地经历焦虑和抑郁。男性和高等教育的照顾者有较高的VAS评分，而人口统计学因素似乎没有影响患者的HRQoL。照顾者的焦虑、抑郁情绪与患者的生活自理和日常活动问题有关。结论.在化疗期间，患者和护理人员的生活质量受到很大影响，并且经常报告不足。需要实施可以改善HRQoL的干预措施，特别是在癌症患者及其护理人员的心理健康领域。
Introduction. Cancer is a major disorder physically and psychologically affecting both patients and their caregivers. In this study, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patient-caregiver dyads during the period of chemotherapy was assessed. Material and Methods. Two hundred twenty-two cancer patient-caregiver dyads were enrolled in the study, which was conducted from October 2008 to March 2009. HRQoL was evaluated with EQ-5D. Results. The mean age of the sample was 57.4 and 48.9 for patients and caregivers, respectively. The EQ-5D descriptive system indicates that female patients more frequently experience anxiety and depression than male patients. Male and higher-education caregivers had higher VAS scores, while demographic factors did not seem to influence patients' HRQoL. Anxiety and depression of caregivers were correlated with patients' problems in self-care and usual activities. Conclusions. Quality of life is highly influenced during the period of chemotherapy for both patients and caregivers and is often under reported. Interventions that can improve HRQoL, especially in the domain of mental health for both cancer patients and their caregivers, need to be implemented.
