University of California Los Angeles, Los Angeles CA, US.
Article Synopsis
- - Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood condition that negatively impacts children’s health and quality of life, both physically and mentally.
- - A study in Oman analyzed data from 72 parent and child pairs to determine what factors influence health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children with the disease.
- - Key findings suggest that parents' knowledge and self-efficacy about the illness, along with children's age and hydroxyurea treatment, significantly impact children's HRQoL; this highlights the need for supportive programs in healthcare.
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the difference in HRQoL by participants' characteristics and to investigate the determinants of health-related quality of life HRQoL among Omani hospitalized patients with cancer.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in two oncology centers in Oman. Omani hospitalized patients with breast, thyroid, colorectal, stomach, and prostate cancer were recruited using convenience sampling.
