Quality of life (QOL) must be an important consideration in the evaluation of the effectiveness of healthcare. Walker and Avant’s method for concept analysis was used for working “QOL and gynecologic cancer” concept. Articles from different data bases were used. The principal attributes of QOL are that it is an individual perception, has dimensions, is affected by different factors, varies or fl uctuates, and is measured by the impact on daily life functioning. The antecedents related with QOL were characteristics of the women, diseas and treatment; concerns and fears; coping style; and symptoms. The consequences of QOL are not explicit. The review provided us with a great deal of information about the antecedents of QOL, but not about its attributes and the consequences. To understand and working in the concept is an important step in development theories and working in the nursing research area.
