摘要

近年隨著醫療科技進步，罹患子宮頸癌婦女接受子宮切除術後五年存活率顯著提升，照顧典範由治療疾病模式轉為健康促進，故醫護人員評估子宮頸癌生活品質狀況為婦科照護之重點，故本文藉由回顧2007－2010年文獻，將國外子宮頸癌婦女的生活品質測量工具作描述，藉以供臨床照護者作為依據，及未來發展本土性台灣子宮頸癌存活患者生活品質測量工具的參考。

The concept of quality-of-life is considered an important outcome indicator in medical care. This is especially true with cervical-cancer patients, since cervical cancer is the second most common gynecologic cancer, but its high cure rate makes numerous survivors. Therefore, how to best ease these women's physiological discomfort and help them recover their quality of life becomes a significant issue. Yet few studies have been conducted on the quality of life of Taiwanese women with cervical cancer. This is due to the lack of a widely agreed-upon measurement tool and quality-of-life concept definition. The authors present a review of previous work done in this area in order to help Taiwanese medical professionals gain insights into the concept of quality-of-life for women with cervical cancer and to incorporate this knowledge into their care plans. It is also hoped that the information will help researchers in their efforts to study the quality of life of cervical cancer patients as a facet of the promotion of multidimensional treatment concepts.
