Abstract
Purpose: To study the quality of life in older people with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing
transarterial chemoembolization therapy and to study the relationships between factors; fatigue,
pain, insomnia, stress and quality of life in older people with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing
transarterial chemoembolization therapy.
Design: Correlation research
Methods: One hundred and twenty inpatient aged over 60 years old of King Chulalongkorn
Memorial Hospital and Ramathibodi Hospital who had been diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
The instruments were composed of Demographic information, Piper fatigue scale-12, Numerical
rating scales, Insomnia severity index, Percieved stress scale, functional assessment of cancer
therapy–hepatobiliary (FACT-Hep). The reliabilities of these questionnaires were .96, .78, .95 and
.87 respectively. Data were analyzed by using percentage, mean, standard deviation, Pearson’s
production-moment correlation.
Findings: The mean score of quality of life among older people with hepatocellular carcinoma
undergoing transarterial chemoembolization therapy was shown at the high level. (Mean = 122.47,
S.D. = 18.76). Fatigue, pain, insomnia and stress were negatively related to quality of life in older
people with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing transarterial chemoembolization therapy at
the medium level of .05 (r =–0.444,–0.540,–0.579,–0.466, respectively)
Conclusion: Health care providers should pay special attention to the assessment and
management of adverse events of older people with hepatocellular carcinoma undergoing
transarterial chemoembolization therapy to reduce the suffering from diseases and adverse
reactions and maintain good quality of life.
