Oncology; hospitalization; quality of life. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the quality of life of hospitalized cancer patients, characterizing the domains of quality of life and verifying the associated factor.METHODS: This is a cross-sectional, observational and quantitative research carried out with cancer patients admitted to a public hospital in Teresina-PI. Data were collected through a form prepared on sociodemographic and clinical characteristics and through the generic instrument for assessing the quality of life WHOQOL-Bref. Comparative analysis (Kruskal-Wallis) was performed and a significance level of 5% was considered (p<0.05).RESULTS: 93 patients participated in the study, 77.4% were female, with a mean age of 50.6±15.6 years and 57.0% were from the countryside of Piauí. As for the diagnosis, 24.7% had a diagnosis of cervical cancer. In addition, 29.0% were in the postoperative period. As for staging, 39.8% were in stage 1, showing that they discovered the disease early. In the evaluation of the quality of life, the average of 2.71 was obtained in the general quality of life. It was found that the most compromised domains were the psychological (average: 3.06) and physical (average: 3.13) domains and the most preserved, the environment domain (average: 3.40). The patients in the postoperative situation presented better conditions of general quality of life (p=0.053) and psychological domain (p=0.044). In addition, stage 1 cancer patients were better off in social relationships (p=0.013).CONCLUSIONS: Patients, in general, had a worse perception of the psychological and physical domains, and a better perception of the environment domain. The staging of the disease and the postoperative situation had an impact on the perception of quality of life. OBJETIVO: Avaliar a qualidade de vida de pacientes oncológicos hospitalizados, caracterizando os domínios da qualidade de vida e verificando os fatores associados.MÉTODOS: Trata-se de uma pesquisa do tipo transversal, observacional e quantitativa, realizada com pacientes com câncer internados em um hospital público de Teresina/PI. Foram coletados dados por meio de ficha elaborada sobre características sociodemográficas e clínicas e pelo instrumento genérico de avaliação da qualidade de vida WHOQOL-Bref. Foi realizada análise comparativa (Kruskal-Wallis) e foi considerado nível de significância de 5% (p<0,05).RESULTADOS: Participaram da pesquisa 93 pacientes, 77,4% do sexo feminino, com média de idade de 50,6±15,6 anos e 57,0% eram do interior do Piauí. Quanto ao diagnóstico, 24,7% apresentaram diagnóstico de câncer de colo de útero. Além disso, 29,0% encontravam-se em pós-operatório. Quanto ao estadiamento, 39,8% estavam no estádio 1 mostrando que descobriram a doença precocemente. Na avaliação da qualidade de vida obteve-se na qualidade de vida geral, a média de 2,71. Verificou-se que os domínios mais comprometidos foram os domínios psicológico (média: 3,06) e físico (média: 3,13) e o mais preservado, o domínio meio ambiente (média: 3,40). Os pacientes em situação de pós-operatório apresentaram melhor condição de qualidade de vida geral (p=0,053) e domínio psicológico (p=0,044). Além disso, os pacientes oncológicos em estadiamento 1 apresentaram melhor situação nas relações sociais (p=0,013).CONCLUSÕES: Os pacientes, de forma geral, tiveram pior percepção dos domínios psicológico e físico e melhor percepção do domínio meio ambiente. O estadiamento da doença e a situação de pós-operatório repercutiram na percepção da qualidade de vida.
