SUMMARY:

Introduction: The diagnosis and surgical treatments for head and neck cancer (CCP) are accompanied by suffering, which affects the patient and their family, which can change the quality of life (QOL) and lead to depression. Resilience can influence QOL and depression scores in cancer patients. Objectives: To evaluate the resilience, QOL and depression scores in patients with CCP at different times of treatment and correlate these variables. Patients and methods: This is a study developed with 28 patients diagnosed with CCP undergoing surgery, from August 2017 to November 2019, followed up in three moments. The Mini Mental State Examination, University of Washington Quality of Life Questionnaire, Beck Depression Inventory and Resilience Scale were applied. Results: Regarding QOL, there was a difference in the physical function domain, when comparing periods T1 and T2. At T2, patients who underwent only surgery had higher scores in all domains and in total QOL (QWL). At T3, physical function and QWL were higher in surgical-only patients. Patients with CCP in early stages had higher scores in all domains of QOL and QWL at T2. At T3, surgical patients had better physical function than those who required adjuvant treatments. Regarding depression, it was noted that surgical patients had lower scores than those who underwent surgery followed by some adjuvant therapy in T2. In the same period of time, there was a difference between patients with CCECP in early and advanced stages, with higher scores in the latter. As for resilience, at T2, only surgical patients had higher self-confidence scores and the ability to adapt to situations, when compared to those who underwent surgery followed by adjuvant treatments. There was a positive correlation between resilience and QOL and negative correlations between depression and resilience and between depression and QOL. Conclusion: In this sample, the type of treatment interfered with QOL, depression and resilience, as well as tumor staging impacted QOL and depression. A positive correlation was observed between resilience and QOL, as well as a negative one between depression, resilience and QOL.
