Resumen
El objetivo principal del estudio fue conocer la relación entre la Calidad de Vida y el
Funcionamiento sexual, en una muestra de 106 pacientes histerectomizadas por cáncer de
cuello uterino, cuyas edades oscilan entre los 26 a 65 años (M= 47.55; DE= 9.69) que recibían
atención ambulatoria en una institución oncológica de Lima Metropolitana. Para ello se utilizó
el Cuestionario de Calidad de vida (QLQ-C30) (Aaronson et al., 1993) junto con su módulo
específico para Cáncer de cuello Uterino (QLQ-CX24) (Greimel et al., 2006) y el Índice de
Funcionamiento Sexual Femenino (IFSF) (Blümel et al., 2004). Se reportó que hay una
correlación significativa entre algunas dimensiones de la calidad de vida del QLQ-C30
(funcionamiento emocional, la fatiga y el dolor) y el funcionamiento sexual. Con respecto al
QLQ-CX24, algunas dimensiones del IFSF correlacionaron directamente con el disfrute,
actividad y funcionamiento sexual, e inversamente con la experiencia de síntomas, síntomas
de menopausia y la preocupación sexual. Por otro lado, no se encontró diferencias del
funcionamiento sexual entre las pacientes que sí recibieron y que no recibieron información.
Las pacientes jóvenes tenían un mayor funcionamiento sexual general (d=.58; p=0.02) y
excitación (d=.73; p= 0.01) que las mayores de 45 años; y estas, presentaron mayor deseo
(d=.74; p=0.00) y orgasmo (d=.58; p= 0.02). Además, se encontró diferencias según ciertas
variables sociodemográficas. Por último, se discuten estos hallazgos, así como las limitaciones
y se brindan sugerencias para futuras investigaciones.
The purpose of this study was to describe the association found between the Quality of Life and Sexual Functioning in a sample of 106 patients who had undergone this type of surgery (hysterectomy) because of having cervical cancer, whose ages range between 26 and 65 years old (M=47.55; DE= 9.69) and who also received ambulatory care in an institution specialized in cancer in Lima Metropolitana. For this end, were used Quality of Life Questionnaire (QLQC30) (Aaronson et al., 1993) together with its specific module for cervical cancer (EORTC QLQ-CX24) (Greimel et al., 2006), and the Female Sexual Function Index (IFSF) (Blümel et al., 2004). It’s reported that there is a significant correlation between some dimensions of QLQC30 quality of life (emotional functioning, fatigue and pain) and sexual functioning. With respect to the QLQ-CX24, some dimensions of the IFSF directly correlated with enjoyment, activity and sexual functioning, and inversely with the experience of symptoms, menopausal symptoms and sexual preoccupation. On the other hand, there were no differences in sexual functioning between the patients who did receive and who did not receive information. Young patients had greater general sexual functioning (d=.58, p=0.02) and excitation (d=.73; p=0.01) than those older than 45 years; and these, presented greater desire (d =.74, p= 0.00) and orgasm (d=.58, p=0.02). In addition, differences were found according to certain sociodemographic variables. Finally, these findings are discussed, as well as limitations and suggestions are offered for future research.
