- Abstract:
Background: The role strain is still high for women within Iranian families. This can be further compounded by diseases such as cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the functional status of women with cancer and its relationship with symptoms experienced by women during the period of the disease. Methods: This cross‐sectional study was carried out with 150 women with the cancer diagnosis who were referred to the Cancer Clinic of Shahid Ghazi Tabatabai Hospital in Tabriz, Iran. The Comprehensive Inventory of Functioning (CIF‐CA) was used to evaluate their functional status. Result: The mean total performance of participants was 3.06(± 0.51), and the range of mean variation scores was between 1.83 and 5. Regarding the housework dimension, women reported less function in all of activities while in the social dimension, participation in social and religious activities waned. In the dimension of personal activities, majority of women reported rest and sleep during the day. Conclusion: Clinicians should explore the use of rehabilitation programmes to ensure that a holistic approach to care for women with cancer is given priority in order to improve the quality of life of these women and subsequently their roles in family and society.
