Abstract

We explore the association of hope and quality of life in breast cancer chemotherapy women. Their quality of life is related to treatment effects and disease outcomes. This cross-sectional study was conducted in City, China, in 2017. In a convenience sampling, 450 women who underwent breast cancer chemotherapy were selected from two hospitals. Descriptive statistics, single-factor analysis, Spearman correlation, linear regression, and structural equation modeling were used to analyze data. The mean quality of life score was 65.65. In linear regression analysis, we found patients’ quality of life was significantly related to age, marital status, education level, chemotherapy cycle, and hope. Structural equation results showed the “temporality and future†and “interconnectedness†subscales of the HHI explained 43% of the variance in quality of life. We found hope is an important aspect in quality of life, and further research is needed to determine if nurses can influence this aspect of care.
