Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the knowledge structure of articles related to the Health-Related Quality of Life(HRQoL) of patients with five different types of cancer.
Methods: Author keywords from the articles related to breast (508), prostate (319), cervical (45), colorectal (123), and gastric cancer (37) on Web of Science (1990~2013) were extracted and classified into seven domains of HRQoL. Social network analysis was performed using the NetMiner program.
Results: Core keywords with the highest degree centrality were ¡®depression¡¯ (breast), ¡®radiotherapy¡¯ (prostate), ¡®sexual dysfunction¡¯ (cervical), ¡®colorectal cancer surgery¡¯ (colorectal), and ¡®gastrectomy¡¯ (gastric). Core keywords with the highest betweenness centrality were ¡®chemotherapy¡¯ (breast), ¡®radiotherapy¡¯(prostate), ¡®sexual dysfunction¡¯ (cervical), ¡®fatigue¡¯ (colorectal), and ¡®gastrectomy¡¯ (gastric). In addition, the five types of roles of the core keywords in the seven domains of HRQoL, verified through brokerage analysis, are coordinator, consultant, gatekeeper, representative, and liaison.
Conclusion: This study examined the HRQoL trends of patients with five different types of cancer. The findings of this study can be helpful for nursing intervention development to improve patients¡¯ HRQoL according to the five different types of cancer.
