It is used by clinical researchers to compare the impact of treatment regimens on patients. The choice of treatment method may significantly depend on the patient\u2019s opinion. A cross-sectional study was conducted using the method of a diagnostic questionnaire survey. The research tools were the authors\u2019 questionnaire and the standardized WHOQOL-BREF. The study was conducted among patients with lymphoma, treated systemically. More than half of the surveyed patients assessed their overall quality of life as good (50%) and very good (6%), while the expressed satisfaction with health most often ranged from neutral (38%\u2014neither good nor bad) to dissatisfactory (30%) and very dissatisfactory (6%). As regards the detailed domains, the area of physical functioning was rated the lowest, while for the remaining domains\u2014psychological, social, environmental\u2014values above average (60.38\u201364.30) were observed. Social support, particularly from the immediate family, resulted in a higher assessment of the quality of life. The occurrence of side effects related to anticancer treatment and the disease had a statistically significant impact on the decrease in the quality of life, particularly in the physical domain.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nursrep13040119","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,9]],"date-time":"2023-10-09T12:51:04Z","timestamp":1696855864000},"page":"1421-1431","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Quality of Life of Polish Patients with Lymphoma Treated Systemically"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5638-5582","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ma\u0142gorzata","family":"Pasek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Nursing, Faculty of Health, University of Applied Sciences, 33-100 Tarn\u00f3w, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1578-806X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Janina","family":"Biel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health and Medical Studies, A.
