زمينه و هدف: تشخيص سرطان تجربه اي ناخوشايند براي هر فرد است كه ناراحتي هاي رواني و جسمي زيادي را ايجاد ميكند. خستگي يكي از شايعترين نشانههاي تجربه شده توسط بيماران مبتلا به سرطان در طول بيماري و يا درمان است. اين مطالعه به منظور تعيين ميزان خستگي و عوامل مرتبط با آن در بيماران مبتلا به سرطان تحت شيمي درماني انجام گرفت.
روش كار: اين مطالعه توصيفي تحليلي در سال 1392 با مشاركت 117 نفر از بيماران مبتلا به سرطان تحت شيمي درماني در بيمارستان سيدالشهدا اصفهان صورت گرفت. نمونهها با روش نمونهگيري آسان انتخاب شدند. داده ها با استفاده از پرسشنامه خستگي مرتبط با سرطان (CFS) و فرم مشخصات دموگرافيك و بيماري جمعآوري و با آزمون هاي آماري توصيفي و تحليلي مورد تجزيه و تحليل قرار گرفتند.
يافته ها: بر اساس نتايج، 74/4 درصد از شركتكنندگان در پژوهش، خستگي خفيف را تجربه كرده بودند. از ميان ابعاد شناختي، جسماني و عاطفي خستگي، بيشترين ميزان خستگي مربوط به بعد جسماني آن بود (4/43±15/52). خستگي جسماني با سن، رابطه مستقيم (0/001

Background & aim: Cancer as an uncomfortable experience for everyone causes a lot of
mental and physical discomfort. Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common symptoms
which cancer patients experience during illness or treatment. This study was conducted to
determine factors related to fatigue in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.
Methods: The current descriptive analytical study was done on 117 cancer patients under
chemotherapy treatment in Sayyed Al-Shohada hospital. Patients were selected through
convenience sampling in 2013. Data was collected using Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS) and
demographic characteristics questionnaires. Obtained data analyzed by descriptive and
analytical statistical tests.
Results: Most of the participants had low fatigue (74.4%). The physical dimension had the
highest scores (15.52±4.43) among fatigue's various dimensions including the cognitive,
physical, and emotional fatigues. Physical fatigue had a direct relation with age (p<0.001)
while it related reversely to age (p<0.001) and education level (p<0.001). There were
significant statistical differences in the fatigue mean scores between genders (p<0.05) and
marital status (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The results showed that all of the participants have experienced fatigue at
different levels. The fatigue scores were higher in elders, women, low education, divorced
and widowed people than others. This issue indicated the importance of paying attention to
these people in curative, supportive and educational programs. To achieve this goal,
overcoming or at least reducing the fatigue strategies should be taught to the mentioned
groups.
