Improvement of biopsychosocial status of these patients significantly depends on determination of rehabilitation potential. Due to increased survival of oncological patients, problems associated with the quality of life have become more urgent.</p> <p><bold>Aim.</bold> To determine the possibility of using a non-specific questionnaire Short Form-36 (SF-36) for evaluation of quality-of-life characteristics and rehabilitation potential of patients with malignant head and neck neoplasms during different schemes of radical radiation therapy.</p> <p><bold>Materials and methods.</bold> The study included 68 patients with malignant head and neck neoplasms who underwent chemo / radiotherapy with accompanying symptomatic treatment and nutritional support between 2019 and 2021 (treatment group). In 32 (47.08 %) patients, the tumor was located in the larynx, in 8 (11.76 %) in the pharynx, in 6 (8.82 %) in the parotid gland, in 13 (19.11 %) in the oral cavity, in 9 (13.23 %) in the paranasal sinuses and nasopharynx. A course of radical photon therapy as monotherapy was administered to 59 (86.76 %) patients, a course of chemoradiation treatment to 9 (13.24 %) patients. Control group consisted of healthy people (<italic>n</italic> = 679) who at the time of questioning did not have a diagnosis of malignant neoplasms. Mean age of the participants was 64 years. Quality of life characteristics associated with rehabilitation potential were determined using a non-specific questionnaire for quality of life evaluation SF-36.</p> <p><bold>Results.</bold> In patients of the treatment group, significant decrease in such quality-of-life characteristics as bodily pain and role-physical functioning was observed. In general, quality of life characteristics in this group were lower than in the control group. It was shown that patients with head and neck malignant neoplasms are prone to limiting social contacts which can be caused by their physical and emotional condition, and have significant pain syndrome. Role functioning is based on the effect of physical condition on daily role performance (work, daily chores) (<italic>р</italic> = 0.001). On the other hand, every characteristic reflecting various aspects of quality of life of patients with malignant head and neck tumors such as pain intensity, role-physical functioning can be corrected using symptomatic rehabilitation medicine and psychological support.</p> <p><bold>Conclusion.</bold> Data obtained using the SF-36 questionnaire can form a basis for early patient rehabilitation during in-hospital treatment. Th use of various quality of life questionnaires in oncological patients positively affects treatment outcomes. The identified deviations of quality-of-life characteristics from normal values in patients with malignant head and neck neoplasms can be considered psychotherapeutic targets for psychologists, treatment physicians, rehabilitation specialists forming an interdisciplinary team. Collection of information about the patient prior to outpatient appointment promotes improved communication between the patient and the doctor, increases awareness about patient needs after treatment in medical specialists, increases quality of medical care and implementation of personalized medicine principles.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Введение.</bold> Совершенствование технологий и методов лечения онкологических заболеваний способствует улучшению реабилитации пациентов. В повышении биопсихосоциального статуса больных с данной патологией большую роль играет определение реабилитационного потенциала. В связи с увеличением выживаемости онкологических пациентов вопросы, связанные с качеством их жизни, становятся все более актуальными.</p> <p><bold>Цель исследования</bold> – определить возможность использования неспецифического опросника Short Form-36 (SF-36) для оценки показателей качества жизни и реабилитационного потенциала пациентов со злокачественными новообразованиями головы и шеи при различных вариантах радикального курса лучевой терапии.</p> <p><bold>Материалы и методы.</bold> В исследование вошли 68 пациентов со злокачественными новообразованиями головы и шеи, которым в период с 2019 по 2021 г. проводили лучевую / химиолучевую терапию на фоне сопроводительного симптоматического лечения и нутритивной поддержки (основная группа). У 32 (47,08 %) больных опухоль локализовалась в гортани, у 8 (11,76 %) – в глотке, у 6 (8,82 %) – в околоушной слюнной железе, у 13 (19,11 %) – в полости рта, у 9 (13,23 %) – в околоносовых пазухах и носоглотке. Курс радикальной фотонной терапии в самостоятельном варианте получили 59 (86,76 %) пациентов, курс химиолучевого лечения – 9 (13,24 %). В контрольную группу вошли здоровые люди (<italic>n</italic> = 679), у которых на момент опроса не были диагностированы злокачественные новообразования. Средний возраст участников исследования составил 64 года. Показатели качества жизни, связанные с реабилитационным потенциалом, определяли с помощью неспецифического опросника для оценки качества жизни SF-36.</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> У пациентов основной группы наблюдалось выраженное снижение таких показателей качества жизни, как интенсивность боли и физическое и ролевое функционирование. В целом показатели качества жизни в этой группе были хуже, чем в группе контроля. Выявлено, что пациенты со злокачественными новообразованиями головы и шеи склонны к ограничению социальных контактов, что может быть связано с их физическим и эмоциональным состояниями, а также выраженным болевым синдромом. Ролевое функционирование обусловлено влиянием физического состояния на повседневную ролевую деятельность (работу, выполнение повседневных обязанностей) (<italic>р</italic> = 0,001). В свою очередь, каждый показатель, отражающий различные аспекты качества жизни пациентов со злокачественными новообразованиями головы и шеи, такие как интенсивность боли, физическое и ролевое функционирование, может быть скорректирован с помощью методов симптоматической, реабилитационной медицины и психологической поддержки.</p> <p><bold>Заключение.</bold> Полученные с помощью опросника SF-36 данные могут лечь в основу ранней реабилитации пациентов, осуществляемой в ходе лечения в стационаре. Использование различных опросников качества жизни у онкологических больных положительно влияет на исход лечения. Выявленные отклонения показателей качества жизни от нормальных значений у пациентов со злокачественными опухолями головы и шеи можно рассматривать как психотерапевтические мишени для психологов, лечащего врача, врача физической и реабилитационной медицины, входящих в междисциплинарную команду. Сбор информации о пациенте перед амбулаторным приемом способствует улучшению коммуникации между ним и врачом, повышает осведомленность специалистов о потребностях больного после лечения, качество оказания медицинской помощи и реализации принципов персонифицированной медицины.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>quality of life</kwd><kwd>rehabilitation potential</kwd><kwd>Short Form-36 questionnaire</kwd><kwd>SF-36 questionnaire</kwd><kwd>rehabilitation</kwd><kwd>radiotherapy</kwd><kwd>head and neck tumor</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>качество жизни</kwd><kwd>реабилитационный потенциал</kwd><kwd>опросник Short Form-36</kwd><kwd>опросник SF-36</kwd><kwd>реабилитация</kwd><kwd>лучевая терапия</kwd><kwd>опухоль головы и шеи</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование проведено без спонсорской поддержки.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Crowder S.L.
