Objetivo: En el presente trabajo se evaluaron los componentes del constructo “Calidad de vida” a partir de la respuesta dada por 707 pacientes a la pregunta: Para usted, ¿qué es calidad de vida? Los pacientes tenían diagnóstico de cáncer de cuello uterino, colorrectal o de próstata.
Métodos: Se efectuó un análisis lexicográfico para ubicar las respuestas características utilizando como criterio el valor test.
Resultados: Se encontró que hay ocho dimensiones subyacentes: espiritualidad, familia, sistema de salud, social, funcional, síntomas, componente económico y componente emocional. Dichas dimensiones son representadas de manera diferente según el sexo o el diagnóstico del paciente.
Conclusiones: Se destaca la importancia de considerar las dimensiones de espiritualidad y sistema de salud para efectuar una medición más válida y confiable de la calidad de vida de los pacientes.
