Factores de adaptação e recuperação após uma doença hemato-oncológica – um estudo exploratório

Abstract

We intend to analyze factors that can favour or make it difficult the process of adaptation in individuals with a haemato-oncologic disease. The data gathering, with a sample of 101 individuals in situation of remission of a haemato-oncological disease, included the social-biographical questionnaire, the coherence sense questionnaire – Questionnaire of Orientation for Living (QOV - Antonovsky, 1998b), the Psychological Wellbeing Questionnaire (BEP - Ryff, 1989), the Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC QLQ-C30 – version 3- Aaronson et al., 1993) and the Family Relations Questionnaire (FES- Moos, 1990). The results obtained allow us to realise that the subjects with a lower teaching level attended are perception less capable to adapt of stress; the submission to autologous bone marrow transplantation is additional and significant factor of stress; the diagnosis of Multiple Mieloma seems to be inductive of greater stress; youngest, not married, with high school or graduation, employees and without offspring have greater predisposition for one better recovery; and, the family relational climate constitutes a resource that may contribute for lower levels of stress and use of more fitted strategies.
