Abstract

BACKGROUND: Muscle weakness can be acquired through chemotherapy, radiotherapy and length of stay impacting overall muscle strength and quality of life of oncology patients. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate global muscle strength and quality of life in cancer patients during hospitalization. METHODS: Analytical, longitudinal and observational study with 15 patients admitted to a public hospital from February to July 2017. Data collection took place in three stages: first, fifth and tenth day of hospitalization. RESULTS: Age ranged from 20 to 66 years, and the median, in years, was 31 (35.80 + 16.61), 53% were female. Regarding the type of cancer, 53% with leukemia and 47% with lymphoma. During the hospitalization time, no significant difference in overall muscle strength and quality of life was observed between the first, fifth and tenth days of hospitalization. CONCLUSION: Although patients were hospitalized, overall muscle strength and quality of life remained relatively undamaged.
