Brief Summary

Many cancers are being treated more effectively nowadays due to the raised awareness and early detection as well as advancement in researches and technology. Despite the rising number of cancer survivors in the coming years, these survivors are still plagued by the poor quality of life due to physical and psychological impairment. According to the National Cancer Registry Report from 2007-2011, haematological cancer is one of the ten most common cancers in Malaysian population. Many haematological cancer survivors in Malaysia are reportedly having poor quality of life due to multiple physical and emotional impairments which leads to further disability in life. It is thus an important effort to identify the rehabilitation needs in these cancer survivors to implement alternatives to improve the disease outcome through cancer rehabilitation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule (WHODAS) 2.0

    WHODAS 2.0 is a practical, generic assessment tool that measures health and disability at population level or in clinical practice. It identifies possible disabilities in 6 domains of life namely Cognitive, Mobility, Self Care, Relationship, Life Activities and Participation. In view of its resemblance to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) model, direct identification of functioning and disability separately from the disease condition could be done. Each domain has few sets of questions pertaining to the activities; the responses and scores of each question are divided into none (0), mild (1), moderate (2), severe (3) and extremely cannot do (4). The scores from each domain will be summed and higher scores signifies higher disability status.
