Impact of fatigue on quality of life among breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy

Objectives Fatigue is the most frequently reported symptom experienced by cancer patients and has a profound effect on their quality of life (QOL). The study aimed to determine the impact of fatigue on QOL among breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and to identify the risk factors associate...

The study aimed to determine the impact of fatigue on QOL among breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy and to identify the risk factors associated with severe fatigue incidence. Methods This was an observational prospective study carried out at multiple centers. In total, 172 breast cancer patients were included. The Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue Questionnaire was used to measure QOL, while the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) was used to assess the severity of fatigue. Results The total average mean and standard deviation of QOL were 84.58±18.07 and 4.65±1.14 for BFI scores, respectively. A significant association between fatigue and QOL was found in linear and multiple regression analyses. The relationships between fatigue severity and cancer stage, chemotherapy dose delay, dose reduction, chemotherapy regimen, and ethnicity were determined using binary logistic regression analysis. Conclusion The findings of this study are believed to be useful for helping oncologists effectively evaluate, monitor, and treat fatigue related to QOL changes.Fares Mohammed Saeed MuthannaMahmathi KaruppannanBassam Abdul Rasool HassanAli Haider MohammedKorea Centers for Disease Control & Preventionarticlebreast neoplasmschemotherapyfatiguequality of lifeSpecial situations and conditionsRC952-1245Infectious and parasitic diseasesRC109-216ENOsong Public Health and Research Perspectives, Vol 12, Iss 2, Pp 115-125 (2021)
