The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between pain, fatigue, sleep disorders and quality of life and assess the most powerful predictor of quality of life in patients with acute leukaemia. In this cross‐sectional multicentre study, 406 patients were recruited. Data were collected using the Iranian Short‐Form 36‐item Health Survey, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the Numeric Rating Scale for Pain and Fatigue Intensity. It was found that pain and fatigue had direct relationship with sleep disorders. Statistically significant relationships were reported between pain, fatigue, sleep disorders and QoL. Also, a statistically significant relationship was found between pain and QoL (p < .001). Pain, fatigue and sleep disorders in total had the predictive power for quality of life (R2 = 36%). The most powerful predictor of quality of life was pain. It is suggested that healthcare professionals note the importance of patients' symptoms in clinical investigations and take appropriate measures for their management. The assessment of pain as the most powerful predictor of quality of life can be considered a basis for the improvement of quality of life, fatigue and sleep quality in patients with acute leukaemia.

Background: Despite advances in postoperative pain control, it is still a big challenge with high-prevalence for practitioners. Inadequate control of postoperative acute pain is common which can lead to serious complications for patient. Objectives: This study aimed to compare massage therapy and music therapy in the control of postoperative pain and amount of received opioid drug after abdominal surgery. Methods: In this randomized 3-group trial, 102 patients in the surgical wards of 3 military hospitals, Ahvaz, Iran, were randomly allocated to music group, massage group, and usual-care group. Participants in the massage and music groups received 10-minutes sessions of slow-stroke back massage and without lyrics music, respectively, 1, 6, and 12 hours after surgery. The pain intensity was measured by numeric rating scale 10 minutes after each intervention session. Also, the mean of received opioid drug during 12 hours was measured in each group. Results: The results indicated a decreasing trend of pain intensity in all the groups. However, the trend of pain intensity had a significantly more decrease in the massage group compared to the both music group (P = 0.001) and usual-care group (P = 0.001).

“…An aromatherapy intervention focused on insomnia and other common symptoms among patients with acute leukaemia and reported significant improvements in tiredness, drowsiness, lack of appetite, depression, anxiety and well-being (Blackburn et al, 2017). Two massage therapy intervention studies showed feasibility, significantly reduced progressive sleep disorder, pain, fatigue and improved sleep quality over time (Miladinia, Baraz, Shariati, & Malehi, 2017); and improved levels of stress and health-related QOL (Taylor et al, 2014).…”

Objectives The aim of this study was to identify future research agendas that reflect the concerns and unexplored areas of interest for patients with life‐threatening cancer, their relatives and the clinical specialists during the cancer trajectory. Methods Six focus group discussions were conducted addressing two different cancer trajectories: primary malignant brain tumour and acute leukaemia. For each of the two cancer trajectories, separate FGIs were carried out with patients, relatives and clinical specialists to identify important concerns, challenges and uncertainties. The FGIs were video/audio‐recorded, transcribed and thematically analysed within and across FGI groups to construct research topics. Finally, the literature was reviewed for existing evidence concerning the identified research topic(s) to strengthen the suggested research agendas. Results New research agendas related to high‐grade glioma brain tumour and acute leukaemia with corresponding research questions were formulated within the topics of supportive care/palliation, education/information, rehabilitation, complementary and alternative therapy and organization of health care. Conclusion User involvement in identifying research agendas has the potential to improve quality of care for patients and caregivers across the cancer trajectory, while minimizing the gap in research between the healthcare user and healthcare provider.
