An Internet-Based Study Examining the Factors Associated with the Physical and Mental Health Quality of Life of LGBT Cancer Survivors.
LGBT Health 2015 August 27
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine factors associated with the quality of life of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) cancer survivors.
METHODS: Data were collected via a nationally advertised online short-form health survey.
RESULTS: Factors associated with lower physical quality of life included younger age at diagnosis, cancer type, medical co-morbidities, being overweight or obese, recurrence, and current cancer treatment. Lower mental quality of life was associated with younger age, smoking, lower perceived quality of care, lower perceived support, and higher cancer-related worry.
CONCLUSIONS: Findings highlight a need for health promotion interventions specifically for LGBT cancer survivors.
