| Sumario: | This descriptive study was intended to determine the association between uncertainty in the quality of life in men and women of breast cancer and prostate in the city of Puebla, Mexico. A transversal and correlational design was used. Data collection was carried out with two scales: Uncertainty in illnes (MUIS C) and assessment subjective of the quality of life (ESCV). Responded to the survey a total of 100 people; the analysis of the data revealed levels of uncertainty in an averageof 48.59 (DE = 15.7, range = 16 to 87); and to the levels of quality of life, an average of 58.25 (DE = 19.5, range = 15 to 100). The uncertainty was positively correlated to the quality of life (r = 0.248, p = 0.13); for domains of uncertainty: the ambiguity had, an average of 43.58 (DE = 18.6, range = 0-88); the level of complexity obtained an average of 59.6. x (of = 20.4, range = 5 to 100); lackof information reached an average of 45.0 (DE = 18.4, range = 3.5 to 85) and for theunpredictability an average of 61.5 (DE = 23.4, range = 7 to 80). Reconceptualising of uncertainty in illnes theory and its development prospectscan explain the relationship between uncertainty and the quality of life in men and women survivors of cancer and can serve as a guide for future studies. |
