Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the levels of distress and quality of life in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy andto identify the relationship between distress and quality of life. Methods: Data were collected during 2013 from 128 cancer patients receivingchemotherapy at a hospital located in Seoul, South Korea. Distress thermometer and problem list were used to measure distress,and the Functional Assessment Cancer Therapy-general questionnaire was used to measure quality of life. Descriptive statistics, t-tests,one-way ANOVA, the post-hoc Scheffé test, and Pearson’s correlation coefficients were used to analyze the data. Results: Among the128 participants, 68 (53.1%) were male and the mean age was 52.55 years. Forty two (32.8%) were diagnosed with stage 4 and 73 (57.0%)were having recurrence or metastasis. The mean score for distress was 4.01 out of 10. Seventy four (57.8%) participants had a score of 4or higher, indicating clinically significant distress. Emotional problems had the highest item mean among five domains. The mean scorefor quality of life was 68.51± 14.22 out of 108. Distress and quality of life were negatively correlated (r= -.52, p< .001). Conclusion: Distresslevel with specific problems should be regularly assessed to relieve distress and improve the quality of life of cancer patients receivingchemotherapy.
