Introduction. Quality of life (QoL) has received increasing interest in the last years, especially in patients with cancer. This article aims to analyze a selection of medical research papers regarding the quality of life in patients with thyroid carcinoma. We overviewed the main QoL aspects derived from several studies and highlighted those less researched issues, which could represent a solid base for future clinical studies.Method. We used an integrative selection method of medical literature, choosing mostly "free access" studies, as it was considered that they could be easily viewed, searched and researched including by patients.Results. After an integrative literature review, we selected 16 relevant studies. Patients with thyroid cancer have several factors influencing their QoL, with both physical and psychological impact. The decisive factors are the quality of the surgical act, radioiodine therapy, follow-up using rh-TSH vs. hormonal withdrawal, access to behavioral help and the relationship with their physician.Conclusion. We must understand the emotional impact of the cancer diagnosis on the patient and we must collaborate in order to help the patient restore the psychosomatic balance and to recover the quality of life.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the transformation of healthy breast cells into malignant cells. The disease is characterized by metastases that can range from limited bone metastases to wide-spread and life-threatening metastases. The main goal of caring for these patients is to successfully control the symptoms of the disease, the side effects of the tumor while preserving the quality of life and surviving as long as possible. Objective was to show the specifics of interventions in the health care of a patient with breast cancer with metastatic changes in the endocranium Methods: We used a descriptive method and a conservative direct method: case study of a patient with breast cancer and metastatic changes in the brain according to the method of the Nursing Care Process (NCP). Discussion: Modern nursing care implies patient care according to a scientifically based method, universal in the nursing practice NCP, according to which care is focused on the patient/family, re-specting their preferences. NCP includes: continuous assessment of the patient's condition and defining problems and care needs, setting goals and selecting optimal care strategies. The most COM-mon collaborative problems for our patient were: pain, fatigue, anemia, insomnia. The problems that the nurses solved through independent interventions were: deficit in self-care, prevention of falls and injuries, lack of knowledge regarding the radiation pro-cedure, risk of infection, and the possibility of excess fluid volume. Conclusion: Patients with advanced breast cancer and their families have complex needs, the failure of which can result in impaired quality of life. An individual approach is needed in as-sessing the patient's condition, identifying needs, and planning interventions based on scientific evidence, available health re-sources, and preferences of patient/family. Patient care according to the NCP method promises a more comprehensive approach, improved patient experience as well as improved medical out-comes.

Quality Of Family Life

Since its launch in 2016, the Family Planning Village (Kampung KB) has experienced interesting dynamics in the field. The number of KB Kampung is increasing every year. One of the goals of the KB Village is to improve the family quality of life. Quality of life consist of the physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual, and environmental dimensions. This literature review research explores two questions: (1) how is the implementation of KB Kampung in the field; (2) What are the implications of Kampung KB for the quality of family life. By using Crossref and Google Scholar, 97 writings on the theme of Kampung KB were obtained. After the exclusion, there were 33 papers that were relevant to the purpose of this study, only 23 papers were obtained which were used as exploration material. The results of the analysis show several things. First, Kampung KB has been implemented with various obstacles and opportunities. Some that are often encountered are: lack of understanding of the managers, lack of budget support, and low continuity of activities. Second, although the community has felt the benefits, the programs and activities have not had too many implications for the family quality of life.

BACKGROUND: Several reviews have been published regarding quality of life (QoL) and Health Status (HS) in persons with lower limb amputation (LLA). However, little has been discussed in the literature with respect to older populations (i.e. age>60 years) with trans-tibial amputation. Furthermore, the perceived satisfaction with prosthesis is another important aspect for consideration in the amputees’ life. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this review was to evaluate the impact of trans-tibial amputation on the QoL, HS and prosthesis satisfaction, in order to determine the appropriate intervention to improve these aspects in older population of trans-tibial amputees (TTA). METHODS: Research articles, published between January 2000 to March 2019, were found using Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The methodological quality of the selected articles was assessed using the Critical Review Form-Quantitative Studies checklist. RESULTS: Ten articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected. In these papers, we can summarize that people with trans-tibial amputation have a better QoL compared to those with above knee amputation. Moreover, physical functioning and mobility are the most influencing factors for QoL and HS in older people with lower limb amputation. Finally, the prosthesis weight reduction may improve satisfaction with the prosthetic limb. CONCLUSION: Efforts have to be made in order to improve mobility in older population with transtibial amputation for better QoL and HS. This can be accomplished by means of adequate rehabilitation, pain management and an accurate choice of appropriate prosthetic components. We observed that the quality of evidence in the literature available is inadequate and future research would benefit from more prospective observational cohort studies with appropriate inclusion criteria and larger sample sizes to better understand the QoL and HS in this population. Layman’s Abstract: Few studies have deeply investigated the effect of aging on Quality of Life, perceived Health Status and satisfaction with the prosthesis on older trans-tibial amputees. This review focuses on these aspects, which can guide professionals on how to improve prosthetic and rehabilitative intervention in this particular amputees’ population. The results of this review indicate that the Quality of Life and Health Status seem to be influenced by adequate rehabilitation, pain management and an accurate choice of appropriate prosthetic components.
