Abstract:
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES:To examine demographic and disease characteristics by age and the moderating effect of age on quality of life (QOL) among non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) survivors. DESIGN:A cross-sectional, secondary analysis study of NHL survivors. SETTING:Two North Carolina cancer registries. SAMPLE:741 NHL survivors with a mean age of 62 years and a mean time since diagnosis of 10 years. METHODS:Mailed surveys were sent to individuals treated for NHL. All analyses were conducted using SPSS®, version 18.0. Multiple regression was used to analyze relationships among demographic and disease characteristics, age, and QOL. MAIN RESEARCH VARIABLES:Demographic, disease, and clinical characteristics on QOL. FINDINGS:In relation to QOL, income and gender were moderated by age; for example, younger survivors who earned less than $30,000 annually had a poorer QOL. Women reported a higher QOL than men. CONCLUSIONS:Age was a moderator for income and an indicator for how income could affect care of younger survivors. Men reported a lower QOL than women and gender-specific resources may be helpful to them. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING:Nursing research should focus on age-sensitive resources targeted for younger NHL survivors. KNOWLEDGE TRANSLATION:Age is an important characteristic that impacts overall health-related QOL. Oncology nurses are instrumental in identifying patients at all ages who could benefit from age-specific resources.
