Regarding the impact that both diagnosis and treatment, especially, surgical one, have on patients, their families, and social environment, it is worth caring about the overall health (OH) and Quality of Life (QOL) as perceived by the individual. The main objective of this study was to assess health-related QOL among patients undergoing surgeries for gastrointestinal cancer who were treated in a surgery clinic of a school hospital. It is a descriptive exploratory quantitative study, carried out with 31 patients, mostly women, from the capital of Goiás, aged between 60 and 69 years old, catholic, married, retired, with elementary level of education, predominantly diagnosed with colorectal cancer, all of them treated at the Surgery Clinic of the HC/UFG. The instruments used were: Socio-demographic Questionnaire, QSG, WHOQOL-bref and EORTC QLQ-C30. The socio-demographic data and diagnosis were assessed regarding its frequency and average. The WHOQOL-bref, EORTC QLQ-C30 and QSG were assessed according to their manuals and guidelines. The data collected was organized in the SPSS 18.0 statistical program. The quality of life was considered to be regular in two moments (30 and 60 postoperative days), being the Physical domain the most affected. As for the overall health, the QSG showed some effect in the sleep disturbance factor in the 30-day assessment, and in the 60-day assessment all factors were considered normal. The correlation between the factors of OH and the EORTC QOL scores C-30 showed positive and significant impact in all dimensions: the better overall health, the better QOL. However, in the correlation of the OH and the QOL assessed through the WHOQOL-Bref, there was only significant and positive correlation between OH and the Physical Dimensions and the environment. It is concluded that assessing the QOL of sick people is a complex process due to the characteristics of subjectivity and multidimensionality involved, making it necessary the use of valid and reliable instruments. The surgical procedure has brought benefits to the participants of this study, however qualitative methodologies could be added to the understanding of the meanings as assigned by the sick people, with similar experiences of cancer treatment, to several factors of their QOL and their OH, throughout the follow-up. Thus, the evaluation of the perception of QOL and the OH can be inserted in clinical practice and regular care of sick people. / A mudança do perfil de morbi-mortalidade aponta aumento da expectativa de vida do ser humano e crescimento da prevalência das doenças crônico-degenerativas, tais como o câncer. Considerando o impacto que este diagnóstico e seu tratamento, principalmente o cirúrgico, exercem sobre o enfermo e seu meio social e familiar, há de se preocupar com a Saúde Geral (SG) e a Qualidade de Vida (QV) percebida pelo indivíduo. O objetivo geral do estudo foi avaliar a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde de pacientes operados por câncer do aparelho gastrointestinal assistidos na clínica cirúrgica de um hospital universitário. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, exploratório e quantitativo, realizado com 31 pacientes, em sua maioria mulheres, provenientes da capital de Goiás, com faixa etária entre 60 e 69 anos, casados, aposentados, católicos, nível de escolaridade fundamental, com diagnóstico predominante de câncer colorretal, atendidos na clínica cirúrgica do HC/UFG. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: Questionário Sociodemográfico, QSG, WHOQOL-bref e EORTC QLQ-C30. Os dados sociodemográficos e o diagnóstico foram computados em sua frequência e média. O WHOQOL-bref, o EORTC QLQ-C30 e QSG foram avaliados de acordo com seus manuais de recomendação. Os dados coletados foram sistematizados no programa estatístico SPSS, versão 18.0. A qualidade de vida foi considerada regular nos dois momentos avaliados (30 e 60 dias pós-cirúrgico), sendo o domínio Físico o mais afetado. Quanto à saúde geral, o QSG apontou comprometimento no fator distúrbio do sono na avaliação de 30 dias, sendo que na avaliação de 60 dias todos os fatores já estavam dentro da normalidade. A correlação entre os fatores de SG e escores de QV da EORTC C-30 mostrou haver impacto positivo e significativo em todas as dimensões: quanto melhor avaliada a saúde geral, melhor foi avaliada a QV. Contudo, na correlação da SG e a QV avaliada por meio do WHOQOL-Bref, apenas houve correlação significativa e positiva entre SG e as Dimensões Física e Meio Ambiente. Concluiu-se que avaliar a QV de enfermos é um processo complexo pelas características de subjetividade e multidimensionalidade envolvidas, fazendo-se necessário o uso de instrumentos válidos e confiáveis. O procedimento cirúrgico trouxe benefícios aos participantes deste estudo sendo que metodologias qualitativas poderiam ser acrescidas para a compreensão dos sentidos atribuídos pelos enfermos, com vivências similares de tratamento do câncer, aos diversos fatores de sua QV e de sua SG, ao longo do follow-up. A avaliação da percepção da QV e da SG pode ser inserida na prática clínica e nos cuidados regulares dos enfermos.
