Resilience: an essential element in head and neck cancer survivorship and quality of life
Menée par questionnaire auprès de 40 patients ayant survécu à un cancer de la tête et du cou, cette étude analyse l'association entre la capacité de résilience et la qualité de vie
Individuals with head and neck cancer (HNCa) face myriad biopsychosocial challenges. Even after treatment completion, these challenges may cause continued disablement and diminished quality of life (QoL). Resilience may serve to minimize the disabling impact of HNCa and, in turn, maximize QoL. The purpose of this study was to formally assess resilience in HNCa survivors and explore its relationship with QoL.
