Cancer-related fatigue in patients with advanced malignant tumours:current status and influencing factors / 现代临床护理

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the status quo of cancer-related fatigue(CRF)in patients with advanced malignant tumours during anti-tumour treatment,and explore the influencing factors so as to provide a reference for nursing intervention.Methods Between January and August 2022,a total of 279 patients with advanced malignant tumours who received anti-tumour therapies in the Department of Oncology of a general hospital in Beijing were selected as study subjects using convenience sampling method.General data questionnaire,cancer fatigue scale,chemotherapy-related gastrointestinal symptoms inventory,and nutritional risk screening 2002 were used for the investigation.Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the influencing factors of cancer-related fatigue.Results Toally 279 patients finished the study.A total of 204(73.12%)patients had cancer-related fatigue.Binary logistic regression analysis showed that BMI,education,monthly family income and diabetes were the influencing factors in cancer-related fatigue(all P<0.05).Conclusions The incidence of cancer-related fatigue is high in patients with advanced malignant tumours during anti-tumour therapy.Low BMI,poor education,low monthly family income and diabetes are the risk factors in cancer-related fatigue.Targeted interventions should be implemented based on the risk factors so as to reduce the incidence of cancer-related fatigue.
