Abstract:
Objective:To explore the current status and influencing factors of cancer related fatigue (CRF) in patients receiving chemotherapy for prostate cancer.Methods:Totally 165 patients with prostate cancer who received chemotherapy in the Department of Urinary Surgery at Tenth People's Hospital of Tongji University from March 2018 to November 2019 were selected by convenient sampling and investigated with the general information questionnaire, Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) , Social Support Revalued Scale (SSRS) and International Prostate Symptom Scores (IPSS) . The influencing factors of severe CRF in patients receiving chemotherapy for prostate cancer were analyzed.Results:Among the 165 patients, 139 had fatigue, including 77 mild fatigue and 62 moderate to severe fatigue cases. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in the degree of CRF among patients receiving chemotherapy for prostate cancer with different appetite, duration of disease, duration of chemotherapy, level of social support, and urinary system symptoms (χ 2=7.45, 14.37, 9.93, 6.87, 25.65; P< 0.05) . Multivariate regression analysis revealed that duration of the disease, duration of chemotherapy, level of social support and urinary system symptoms were the influencing factors of moderate to severe CRF in patients receiving chemotherapy for prostate cancer ( P< 0.05) . Conclusions:CRF is a common problem in patients undergoing chemotherapy for prostate cancer, which is affected by many factors. Clinical medical staff should formulate more targeted individualized treatment and nursing plans to alleviate the symptoms of CRF and further improve the quality of life of the patients based on their actual situation.
