Implication

Scoping review examines QOL and well-being in cancer rehabilitation, highlighting gaps in outcome measures.

Key Points

  • This review investigates how SLHT for cancer rehabilitation affects quality of life and subjective well-being, particularly distinguishing between the two.
  • Conducted a scoping review following PRISMA-ScR guidelines.
  • Reviewed studies involving adult cancer patients undergoing SLHT-related rehabilitation.
  • Assessed how QOL and subjective well-being were defined and measured across selected studies.
  • Seven studies were included in the review, focusing on QOL-related outcomes primarily linked to functional domains.
  • Psychosocial factors were minimally addressed, with few studies employing independent measures of subjective well-being.
  • QOL was often viewed as a substitute for functional recovery rather than a separate entity.
