Abstract

The purpose of this convergence study was to evaluate and to identify predictors of health-related quality of life(HRQoL) of families with cancer survivor(FCS) focusing on the comparison of families with cancer patient(FCP) receiving treatments. The research was conducted with the data for 153 FCS and 115 FCP taken from the 6th wave of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The independent variables included socio-demographic, health related, psychological and social factors. The data were analyzed by hierarchical multiple regression analysis using SPSS/WIN 18.0. The results showed different patterns of predictors on the HRQoL of FCS and FCP. In FCS, the statistically significant factors were stress(${\beta}=-.192$, p<.05) and exclusion from economic activities(${\beta}=-.191$, p<.05). Therefore, families of cancer patients also need appropriate interventions for each stage of the disease.

본 연구는 암생존자 가족의 삶의 질 증진을 위한 기초자료를 마련하고자 수행된 횡단적 연구설계의 융합연구이다. 연구대상은 국민건강영양조사 2015년 자료에서 암생존자 가족 153명, 투병 중인 암환자의 가족 115명을 선정하여 이들의 삶의 질을 비교 검증하였다. 연구방법은 삶의 질에 대한 영향 요인으로 인구사회학적, 건강, 심리적, 사회적 변인을 구성하여 위계적 다중회귀분석을 시행하였고 이를 SPSS WIN/18.0을 이용하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 암생존자 가족과 투병환자 가족간 삶의 질에 대해 심리적, 사회적 변인에서 다른 양상을 보였고, 암생존자 가족의 삶의 질에 스트레스(${\beta}=-.192$, p<.05), 경제활동에서의 배제(${\beta}=-.191$, p<.05)가 유의미한 부정적 영향을 미치고 있었다. 본 연구는 암생존자 가족과 투병환자 가족간 삶의 질 영향 요인의 상대적 영향력이 다른 양상을 보여 생존단계별로 적합한 개입의 필요성에 대해 의료사회복지 실천에 임상적 함의를 제공하였다.
