  • evaluation of patients' independence before and after surgery for benign and malignant spinal tumors, evaluation of what factors influenced patients' different independence

RESEARCH PROJECT DESCRIPTION, RESEARCH METHODOLOGY:

Research objectives:

  • To evaluate the quality of life of patients before and after surgery for benign and malignant spinal cancers, to assess whether it depends on the size of the tumor, type of cancer, malignancy and its location
  • evaluation of patients' independence before and after surgery for benign and malignant spinal tumors, assessment of what factors influenced patients' different independence
  • multidimensional evaluation of perceived social support of patients before and after surgery for benign and malignant spinal cancers, taking into account three sources of support: significant person, family and friends

Scientific (research) problems:

  • What is the quality of life of patients before and after surgery for benign and malignant spinal cancers ? Is the quality of life in patients with spinal cancer dependent on tumor size, malignancy, location or type of cancer ?
  • How do patients rate their independence both before and after surgery for spinal cancers at different stages of the disease?
  • How do patients with spinal cancer at different stages of the disease rate the social support they received both before and after surgery?

  • BREF,ADL,AISDiagnostic test

    1. abbreviated version of the quality of life assessment questionnaire - The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) -BREF
    2. scale I - ADL according to Lawton
    3. the AIS questionnaire
    4. the Zimet Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support - the original version of the MSPSS

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Quality of life assessed using The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) scale. Social support assessed using Zimet's Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale - the original version on the MSPSS.

    Quality of life assessed using The World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) scale questionnaire which contains 26 questions analyzing four domains of life and separately perception of quality of life and self-assessment of health status.

    It is used to assess the quality of life of both healthy and sick people in clinical practice and addresses the following domains of quality of life: somatic functioning, psychological functioning, social functioning and community functioning.

    Social support assessed using Zimet's Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale - the original version on the MSPSS.

    The Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support takes into account the multidimensionality of perceived social support, considering three primary sources of support: significant other, family and friends. The scale consists of 12 statements, which the subject addresses using a seven-point Likert scale, where 1 means "strongly disagree" and 7 means "strongly agree."

    Measured: 12 months to 24 months
