Processo de reabilitação e qualidade de vida de pacientes pós tratamento oncológico: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

The incidence of cancer in Brazil and around the world is growing wildly fast, at a pace that follows the aging population due to increased life expectancy, affecting the rehabilitation process of individuals and their quality of life. The aim of this study is to evaluate, through bibliographic research, the rehabilitation process and quality of life of patients after cancer treatment. This study is an exploratory and descriptive study conducted through a literature review. Some patients, even after treatment, are isolated, such as women who had breast removal, some do not have a social life as before having the disease, thus hindering their rehabilitation and quality of life. It is important that everyone has support from their family members from the beginning of treatment and after treatment, and it is of utmost importance that the health units they attended during treatment develop interventions and actions aimed at rehabilitation and improvement of quality of life, during the care process.
