Associations between Adult Primary Brain Tumor Survivors’ Behavioral Executive Functions, Health Related Quality of Life and their Caregivers’ Health Related Quality : A cross-sectional study

Résumé

Objective: The present study focused on adult primary brain tumor (PBT) survivors' caregivers. The main objective was to study associations between PBT survivors' health related quality of life (HRQOL), their behavioral executive functions (EF) and their caregivers' HRQOL. Methods: Forty PBT survivors of PBT and 37 caregivers (mostly patient's spouses 81.08%; n= 30) participated in the study. PBT survivors completed a cancer related Quality of Life (QOL) questionnaire. Caregivers completed informant rated HRQOL and behavioral EF reports relating to PBT survivors and a self-rated HRQOL questionnaire relating to themselves. Correlational and multiple regression analyses were conducted. Results: No associations were found between caregivers' physical HRQOL and PBT survivors' HRQOL nor behavioral EF. Analyses yielded several significant correlations between caregivers' mental HRQOL and variables pertaining to PBT survivors' HRQOL and behavioral EF. Multiple regression analyses showed that caregivers' mental HRQOL is predicted by PBT survivors' mental HRQOL, global cancer related QOL scores and global behavioral EF scores. Conclusions: This study provides evidence suggesting that during the survivorship phase, at an average of 3.67 (SD=2.31) years following treatment for a PBT, caregivers mental HRQOL is linked to PBT survivors' long-term effects. These findings shed some light regarding post-cancer care for both survivors and their caregivers.
