Abstract:
Cancer-related fatigue is the most common and longest-lasting symptom of discomfort experienced by cancer patients. Its effects on patients include physical, psychological, emotional, and cognitive stress, which greatly reduce quality of life. The field of mind-body integrated medicine has improved gradually in recent years, with many evidence-based studies supporting the efficacy of mindfulness as a symptom management strategy for cancer-related fatigue. Based on a review of the literature, this paper introduces the definition of cancer-related fatigue and related assessments and treatments, describes the origin of mindfulness and related concepts, and introduces mindfulness-based empirical treatment strategies for cancer-related fatigue, including mindfulness-based stress reduction and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and their effects. The findings are intended to provide clinicians with a reference for the future care of patients with cancer-related fatigue.
