Lifestyle factors and health related quality of life in Vietnamese women after breast and gynaecological cancer: What are the relationships?
Description
This thesis provides a comprehensive understanding of the relationships between lifestyle factors and health-related quality life (HRQoL) amongst Vietnamese women who have been treated for breast or gynaecological cancers. Women with less healthy lifestyles had corresponding decrements in HRQoL. Sleep impairment and self-efficacy were the strongest factors impacting on HRQoL. Relationships were mediated by a range of variables highlighting the complex relationships between lifestyle factors and health outcomes. The study highlights the importance of developing lifestyle intervention programs focused on enhancing self efficacy to support Vietnamese women following treatment for cancer.
