A structured nursing education intervention significantly reduced cancer-related fatigue in patients with colon or gastric cancer. This approach empowered patients to manage fatigue effectively, improving their quality of life.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology Nursing
  • Cancer Care
  • Patient Education

Background:

  • Cancer-related fatigue is a prevalent and debilitating symptom impacting patients' quality of life.
  • Fatigue is common during cancer treatment, including antineoplastic therapy, biologic response modifiers (BRM), and in advanced disease stages.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a nursing education intervention in reducing perceived fatigue among colon and gastric cancer patients.
  • To compare fatigue levels between patients receiving a structured nursing intervention and those receiving standard care.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative study design was employed, involving an experimental group and a control group.
  • The experimental group received individualized, structured nursing education and counseling.

  • Fatigue levels were assessed using the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy Fatigue (FACT-F) Scale in both groups.

    • Main Results:

    • The experimental group demonstrated a significant decrease in fatigue levels post-intervention.
    • The control group, not receiving the intervention, experienced an increase in fatigue levels during treatment.
    • Individualized nursing education proved effective in managing cancer-related fatigue.

    Conclusions:

    • Structured nursing education is an effective strategy for managing cancer-related fatigue.
    • This intervention empowers cancer patients with tools to cope with and reduce fatigue.
    • Nursing interventions play a crucial role in improving the quality of life for cancer patients experiencing fatigue.
