Title of the Congress : 15th ISQOLS Annual Conference by Dr. Azita Kheiltash
Title of your Abstract : Factors affecting quality of life in patients with lymphatic neoplastic disorders (Leukemia & Lymphoma)
Destination Country : Austria
From : Monday, September 25, 2017
To : Thursday, September 28, 2017
Abstract(Please copy/paste the abstract send to the congress) : Introduction: The goal of treating chronic diseases including blood malignancies is to prolong the duration of life and improving the capabilities of patients as much as possible to enable patients to live their lives with reasonable quality of life. While most studies that are done for evaluation of treatments of various diseases focus on prolongation of life alone and miss out on other factors such as quality of life and other side effects of treatment.
Method and materials: For evaluation of patients with leukemia and lymphoma referring to Imam Khomeini Hospital a cross-sectional study was done in 2014 among 94 patients. Convenience sampling was done from those referring to the hematology outdoor clinic of Imam Khomeini General Hospital. The SF-36 questionnaire was filled by patients with leukemia or lymphoma (at least 6 months had passed since their diagnosis).
Results: In this study SF-36 questionnaires were filled by individuals with lymphoma and leukemia. The interviewees (n=94) were of 16 to 75 years of age with mean age of 31.6 ± 14.7 years. 
By dividing the patients into these two groups (patients with aggressive and non-aggressive type with better prognosis), it was shown that except for physical functioning (P > 0.576) a significant difference existed between all domains, such that patients with non-aggressive disease had higher scores in all factors. No significant difference was seen in the domains except for social functioning (SF) (P < 0.007) and role physical (RP) (P < 0.027) among the individuals studied, in which men had higher scores than women.
Discussion:
The results of this study show that the nature of the disease, sex, level of education and income are prognostic factors for quality of life in patients with lymphatic system neoplasm.
