Abstract

The current literature review discusses the dimensions of QOL and its influencing factors in adolescents and very young adults diagnosed with cancer using Ferrans and colleagues' (2005) Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) model as the guiding theoretical framework. HRQOL comprises three dimensions: characteristics of the individual, characteristics of the environment, and the individual's biological function.
