ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate and analyze the quality of life of pediatric patients diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in patients aged 2 to 18 years using the PedsQL 3.0 cancer module instrument. Material and methods: The PedsQL cancer module instrument was applied to 44 patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and their caregivers at the “Dr. Rigoberto Aguilar Pico ”in order to analyze its reliability and validity, determine the most affected dimensions according to the items evaluated by the instrument, as well as compare the quality of life scores according to age, gender and stage of treatment. Results: The reliability and validity of the instrument to measure quality of life was verified. The items most affected were concern, followed by anxiety about procedures; the item with the highest score was communication. The patients with the best quality of life were those who were under surveillance, followed by those who were in relapse and treatment. Conclusions: The PedsQL cancer module is a reliable and valid instrument to assess the quality of life in patients, knowledge of it will help the comprehensive treatment of these patients and the development of strategies to improve their conditions.
