Purpose:
To analyze the relationship between quality of life with the JCAHO and the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System (ESAS) scoring system, and to compare the JCAHO and the ESAS scoring systems in determining the palliative care needs of gynecological cancer patients treated at RSHS.
Design:
Cross-Sectional Study
Methods:
This was an analytical descriptive cross-sectional study. Data sources were obtained from female gynecologic malignancy patients (60 respondents) admitted to Alamanda B Ward Hasan Sadikin Hospital between May to August 2020. Two groups of patients were compared: patients with total score of the JCAHO palliative score < 7 and ≥ 7. Each patient fulfilled 3 questionnaires: JCAHO palliative score, ESAS, and FACT-G version 4. The data of this study were obtained through interviews, questionnaires, and patient medical records. The study applied bivariate data analysis using chi-square with α = 0.05.
Findings:
The results showed that the quality of life of patients with gynecological cancer was associated with the JCAHO palliative score (p <0.05), the better the patient's quality of life, the better the JCAHO palliative score. The quality of life of gynecological cancer patients was also related to ESAS (p <0.05).
