| The educational program developed aims to contribute to an increase in quality of life scores and control of anxiety and depression levels in patients with head and neck cancer, by improving the patient's adaptive responses. ;The questionnaires of quality of life and hospital scale of anxiety and depression (FACT-H & N and HADS) were applied at pre-treatment times, 90, 180 and 360 days after oncological treatment. In the analysis of the 20 patients selected, ten comprised the Control Group (GC) and ten the Experiment Group (GE). There was a significant difference in the FACT-H & N total score (0.0012), considering the interaction groups and times. In the HADS analysis, there was no statistically significant difference. | — |
