ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: to identify the repercussions of financial toxicity on the lives of adult cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: an integrative review was conducted using the PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase databases, as well as the Virtual Health Library portal, in March 2023. RESULTS: out of 62 studies found, 13 were included for analysis. The primary repercussions of financial toxicity included difficulties in covering basic expenses such as food, housing, medication, transportation, and internet access; increased anxiety and concerns related to health and financial situations; reduction or absence of income; challenges in obtaining treatment or accessing healthcare services; rising expenses; and telemedicine as a less burdensome alternative. CONCLUSIONS: the pandemic has exacerbated financial toxicity; therefore, healthcare teams must recognize it as an adverse event of oncological treatment and understand its potential to affect various aspects of patients' lives.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess anxiety levels among women with metastatic breast cancer undergoing palliative chemotherapy. METHODS: A descriptive, prospective study was conducted at an oncology hospital in southern Brazil from September 2021 to October 2022. A total of 123 adult women receiving outpatient palliative chemotherapy were included in the study. Anxiety levels were evaluated using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory at baseline, the fifth week, and the eleventh week of treatment. Data were analyzed using Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, and Multiple General Regression Models. RESULTS: Women with advanced breast cancer had an average trait-anxiety score of 48.24±5.92. A progressive improvement in anxiety scores was observed throughout the treatment evaluation stages (44.90±5.89; 43.37±5.34; 42.58±5.75), with a significant difference between the evaluations (p=0.008). Significant correlations were found between trait-anxiety and work situation (p=0.010) and ovarian metastasis (p=0.022). The adjusted general regression model also showed statistical significance for baseline evaluation with offspring (p=0.045) and education level (p=0.041). CONCLUSION: Women with breast cancer undergoing palliative chemotherapy exhibited high trait-anxiety scores, which decreased significantly over the course of treatment.

BACKGROUND: Sinonasal cancers (SNC) are rare cancers with a high proportion attributable to occupational carcinogens. This study aims to describe the sociodemographic, clinical, and occupational characteristics of subjects with SNC in Brazil. METHODS: Observational study conducted with secondary data from a network of Hospital Cancer Registries. We selected epithelial/unspecified SNC records with a year of diagnosis from 2007 to 2021. We performed descriptive statistics of SNC cases and calculated crude and age-standardized rates (ASR, standard: world population) by gender and Region of residence. RESULTS: We identified 2,384 cases, 1,553 (65.1%) in men and 831 (34.9%) in women. The mean age at diagnosis was 59 years for both. Most SNC (50.7% in men and 53.2% in women) originated from the maxillary sinus. Most (65.5% in men and 54.5% in women) were squamous cell carcinomas. Information on occupation was missing in the years 2019-2021. Most male SNC patients (44.8%) were employed in group 6 (Agricultural, forestry, and fishing workers), while women had been mainly (34.6%) working in groups 8 (Workers in the production of industrial goods and services, machine operators) and in group 6 (27.6%). Crude SNC incidence rates were 1.0 per million person-years in men and 0.5 in women, while ASR were 1.0 and 0.4, respectively. In both genders, the highest ASR was in Minas Gerais (men: 1.9; women: 0.7). CONCLUSIONS: Establishing the profile of Brazilians with sinonasal cancer can stimulate epidemiologic research for monitoring this group of cancers with a high association with occupational exposures.

Objetivo: evaluar y correlacionar la calidad de vida y la toxicidad financiera de pacientes adultos sometidos a trasplante de células madre hematopoyéticas durante el período de la pandemia de COVID-19. Método: estudio observacional, analítico, realizado con 35 pacientes en un hospital de referencia para trasplante en Latinoamérica. Para la recolección de datos, se utilizaron los cuestionarios Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy Bone Marrow Transplantation y el COmprehensive Score for financial Toxicity. Para el análisis de los datos se utilizaron las pruebas de correlación de Spearman y Mann-Whitney. Resultados: la calidad de vida general durante la COVID-19 mostró un puntaje bajo (67,09/108) con mayor deterioro en el bienestar funcional (14,47/28), bienestar social (16,76/28) y preocupaciones adicionales (23,41/40). Los promedios del grupo alogénico fueron inferiores a los del grupo autólogo en todos los dominios, presentando diferencia significativa en relación a preocupaciones adicionales (p=0,01) y en el índice de evaluación del tratamiento (p=0,04). Se consideró que la toxicidad financiera tenía un impacto leve (22.11/44). Se observó una relación, aunque no significativa, entre la calidad de vida y la toxicidad financiera (p=0,051). Conclusión: la calidad de vida de la muestra fue baja; existe una correlación entre la calidad de vida y la toxicidad financiera, aunque no significativa. Cuanto mayor es la toxicidad financiera, menor es la calidad de vida.
Objective: to evaluate and correlate the quality of life and financial toxicity of adult patients undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: observational, analytical study, carried out with 35 patients in a reference hospital for transplantation in Latin America. For data collection, the Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy Bone Marrow Transplantation and COmprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity questionnaires were used. Spearman and Mann-Whitney correlation tests were used for data analysis. Results: general quality of life during COVID-19 had a low score (67.09/108) with greater impairment in functional well-being (14.47/28), social well-being (16.76/28) and additional concerns (23.41/40). The means of the allogeneic group were lower than those of the autologous group in all domains, showing a significant difference in relation to additional concerns (p=0.01) and in the treatment evaluation index (p=0.04). Financial toxicity was considered to have a slight impact (22.11/44). There was a relationship, albeit not significant, between quality of life and financial toxicity (p=0.051). Conclusion: the quality of life of the sample was low; there is a correlation between quality of life and financial toxicity, although not significant. The higher the financial toxicity, the lower the quality of life.

ABSTRACT
Introdução: Pacientes com câncer enfrentam percurso terapêutico longo e de alto nível de complexidade. Diante desse cenário, a satisfação com o tratamento hospitalar é um processo importante na recuperação da saúde, dada a possibilidade de se obter informações essenciais referentes às experiências de quem recebe o tratamento, as quais auxiliarão na adequação de condutas para prática da assistência de qualidade com possíveis implicações na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde (QVRS). Objetivo: Analisar a QVRS e sua relação com a satisfação com o tratamento hospitalar de adultos com câncer. Método: Estudo observacional, analítico, de recorte transversal, realizado com 120 pacientes em tratamento clínico ou cirúrgico em um hospital referência no tratamento onco-hematológico localizado no Sul do Brasil, entre agosto de 2021 e janeiro de 2022. Foram utilizados os instrumentos Quality of Life Questionnaire Core 30 e Satisfaction with In-Patient Cancer Care, analisados descritivamente e por teste de correlação de Spearman. Resultados: A qualidade de vida global apresentou baixos escores (58,54/100) e maior comprometimento no domínio função social (44,17/100). Houve alto nível de satisfação com a equipe médica e de enfermagem, e maiores médias na escala habilidades técnicas (89,44/100 e 86,67/100, respectivamente). Verificou-se significância estatística entre a qualidade de vida global e todos os itens do instrumento de satisfação (p<0,05). Conclusão: A satisfação com o tratamento hospitalar impacta na qualidade de vida de adultos com câncer. Reconhecer as alterações na qualidade de vida e os determinantes que compõem a satisfação ao tratamento hospitalar pode contribuir para o aperfeiçoamento da assistência prestada.

OBJECTIVES: to assess/correlate health-related quality of life with the social dimension of hematopoietic, autologous and allogeneic stem cell transplant patients in the three years post-transplant. METHODS: longitudinal, observational study with 55 patients, in a reference hospital in Latin America, from September 2013 to February 2019, using the Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core and Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy Bone Marrow Transplantation. RESULTS: A total of 71% underwent allogeneic transplantation. The social dimension had low averages since the baseline stage (55, 21) and low scores (56) for quality of life in pancytopenia. There was a significant positive correlation between social dimension, quality of life in pancytopenia (p<0.01) and follow-up after hospital discharge (p<0.00). There is a significant difference (p<0.00) throughout the stages, however, not in terms of the type of transplant (p>0.36/0.86). CONCLUSIONS: patients with better assessments in the social dimension have a better quality of life. Interventions focusing on the multidimensionality of the quality of life construct are necessary.

OBJECTIVE: To reflect on the understanding of financial toxicity, as an adverse event of cancer diagnosis and treatment, and its implications on the quality of life of these patients. METHOD: Reflexive study, based on the international literature about the concept of financial toxicity and its relationship with quality of life. RESULTS: Financial toxicity is related to the financial difficulties associated with cancer and its treatment, which occur in the lives of patients and family members. Its consequences include: possible worsening of the clinical symptoms, indebtedness, loss of professional opportunities, changes in family habits and decline in quality of life. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Measures to minimize financial toxicity should also be a concern of the state and be part of the therapeutic itinerary of cancer patients. Dialogue can become an essential tool for the health team to clarify the therapeutic options and their costs. This attitude shows respect and preserves the patient's autonomy, which can minimize the feeling of helplessness in the face of the disease.

Introdução: a toxicidade financeira é um efeito colateral do tratamento oncológico, que descreve o ônus financeiro experimentado pelo paciente com câncer, o qual tem dificuldade para custear o tratamento e os custos decorrentes da doença. O questionário COmprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity foi desenvolvido e validado para mensurar a toxicidade financeira dos pacientes com câncer. Objetivo: traduzir, adaptar transculturalmente e validar o questionário COmprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity para a cultura brasileira. Método: pesquisa metodológica dividida em duas etapas: a primeira, denominada tradução e adaptação transcultural, utilizou o referencial metodológico do grupo Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy, e a segunda, validação das propriedades psicométricas, foi realizada de acordo com o referencial de Pasquali. A primeira etapa foi concluída em julho de 2018, e a segunda foi realizada entre setembro de 2018 e janeiro de 2020. Participaram da primeira etapa, quatro tradutores, dois profissionais de saúde e 15 pacientes com diagnóstico de câncer no pré-teste, e da segunda etapa, 126 pacientes com câncer. Quarenta e três (43) pacientes realizaram tratamento em instituição privada e 83 em instituição pública no sul do Brasil. Para a etapa de validação, foi realizada o coeficiente Alfa de Cronbach para verificação da consistência interna, a análise fatorial exploratória, análise fatorial confirmatória. Resultados: a participação dos tradutores, desenvolvedores e especialistas conferiu a validade de conteúdo do questionário. O coeficiente alfa de Cronbach, encontrado no pré-teste, foi de 0,83. As Análises fatorial exploratória e confirmatória revelaram que o questionário COmprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity, versão brasileira, mede um único construto, ou seja, a toxicidade financeira com valor de - ??2/????= 179,78, CFI=0,00, PGFI= 0,302, RMSEA=1,196 e Pclose=0,000. O alfa de Cronbach da segunda etapa foi de 0,815. Ao realizar a comparação do escore entre as amostras, foi possível constatar que a amostra da instituição privada possui escore 24,02 e a amostra da instituição pública, escore 16,33, indicando que aqueles que possuem plano privado de saúde, tem menor toxicidade financeira (p=0,001). Conclusão: o questionário COmprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity é válido e confiável para mensurar a toxicidade financeira dos pacientes com câncer no Brasil.
This study is included in the research line the Process of Caring for Health and Nursing and is part of the Multiprofessional Research Group on Adult Health at the Federal University of Paraná. Introduction: financial toxicity is a side effect of cancer treatment, which describes the financial burden experienced by cancer patients, who have trouble affording the treatment and the costs resulting from the disease. The COmprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity questionnaire was developed and validated to measure the financial toxicity of cancer patients. Objective: to translate, cross-culturally adapt and validate the COmprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity questionnaire for the Brazilian culture. Method: this is a methodological research divided into two stages: the first, named translation and cross-cultural adaptation, which used the methodological framework of the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy group, and the second, psychometric properties validation, which was carried out according to Pasquali's framework. The first stage was accomplished in July 2018, and the second from September 2018 and January 2020. Four translators, two health professionals and 15 patients diagnosed with cancer in the pre-test participated in the first stage, and 126 cancer patients in the second stage. Forty-three (43) patients underwent treatment in a private institution and 83 in a public institution in southern Brazil. For the validation stage, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated to check internal consistency and exploratory factorial analysis, confirmatory factorial analysis was performed. Results: the participation of translators, developers and specialists checked the questionnaire content validity. Cronbach's alpha coefficient, found in the pre-test, was 0.83. The exploratory and confirmatory factorial analyzes showed that the questionnaire COmprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity, Brazilian version, measures a single construct, that is, the financial toxicity with a value of - ??2/???? = 179.78, CFI=0.00, PGFI = 0.302, RMSEA = 1.196 and Pclose=0.000. Cronbach's alpha for the second stage was 0.815. When comparing the score between the samples, it was possible to verify that the private institution sample has a score of 24.02 and the sample of the public institution, a score of 16.33, indicating that those who have a private health plan have less financial toxicity (p=0.001). Conclusion: the COmprehensive Score for Financial Toxicity questionnaire is valid and reliable for measuring the financial toxicity of cancer patients in Brazil.
