This study aimed to examine the prevalence of CRF and its related factors among Iranian cancer survivors. Methods: The samples of this descriptive cross-sectional study included 131 cancer survivors referred to outpatient clinic of Shahid Gazi Hospital affiliated to Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. Brief fatigue inventory (BFI) questionnaire was used for data collection. The data were analyzed using SPSS software version 13, descriptive statistics, and regression analysis. Results: The mean (SD) fatigue score was 6.41 (1.68) and 89% of survivors reported that they had suffered from CRF. The factors affecting CRF included blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, anemia, serum levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN), marital status, type of cancer, and physical activity. Conclusion: High level of CRF in cancer survivors requires special attention and designing effective interventions through considering the identified factors associated with CRF.Musab GhaderiArman AzadiAzad RahmaniZohreh SanaatHosein NazemiyehAfzal ShamsiLeila NabiolahiTabriz University of Medical Sciencesarticlecancercancer survivorsfatigueiranfactorMedicine (General)R5-920General worksR5-130.5ENJournal of Caring Sciences, Vol 10, Iss 4, Pp 210-215 (2021)
