“…Finally, most people with cancer experience more than one symptom [ 24 ], supporting a need to assess and address symptoms concurrently. While this study focused exclusively on the symptom of pain, future research to explore spirituality-centered interventions and their role in managing co-occurring symptoms could yield a greater impact.…”

Purpose Foundational research demonstrates that spirituality may affect the way people with cancer experience pain. One potential route is through alterations in thoughts and beliefs, such as pain-related catastrophizing. The purpose of this study is to understand whether spirituality impacts pain experiences through pain-related catastrophizing. Methods This explanatory sequential mixed methods study was informed by an adapted Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms. Data were collected via online surveys (N = 79) and follow-up qualitative interviews (N = 25). Phase 1 employed Empirical Bayesian analysis. Phase 2 used deductive content analysis. Phase 3 involved creating a mixed methods joint display to integrate findings and draw meta inferences. Results Results indicate that spirituality was directly negatively associated with pain-related catastrophizing, and indirectly negatively associated with the outcomes of pain interference, pain severity, and pain-related distress. Qualitative categories highlight the supportive role of spirituality when facing pain, while also shedding light on the limitations of spirituality in the context of some pain (i.e., severe, neuropathic, and/or chronic). Mixed methods findings reveal the importance of spirituality for some people as they face cancer and cancer-related pain, as well as the need for integrating spirituality as part of a larger pain management plan. Conclusions This research advances supportive cancer care by exploring the complex role of spirituality in pain experiences. Findings will inform further exploration into the role of spirituality in supporting holistic symptom management in the context of cancer, as well as developing and testing interventions to enhance spirituality and address symptom-related suffering.

“…Research indicates that gynecological cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy not only experience common symptoms seen in most cancer patients, such as fatigue, sleep disturbances, peripheral neuropathy, anxiety, depression, and stigma ( 5 , 6 ), but also unique symptoms like diminished femininity, sexual dysfunction, menopausal symptoms, and decreased fertility ( 7 , 8 ). During chemotherapy, patients not only need to monitor and identify their adverse symptoms but also continuously adjust and cope with the negative impacts of chemotherapy on their well-being ( 9 , 10 ).…”

The study's criteria for inclusion were outlined as follows (1): Clinicopathologically confirmed tumors of the gynecologic oncology, such as cervical, endometrial, ovarian, and fallopian tube cancers (2); Age ≥ 18 years (3); Initial diagnosis (4); Undergone chemotherapy at least once (5); Clear consciousness and normal abilities in listening, speaking, reading, and writing (6); Signed informed consent and willingness to participate in the questionnaire survey. Exclusion criteria (1): Cases where family members request concealment of the illness (2); Concurrent presence of other malignant tumors (3); History of mental illness or psychological disorders.…”

ObjectiveTo understand the current status of self-regulatory fatigue among gynecologic cancer chemotherapy patients and explore influencing factorsMethodsUsing convenient sampling, a total of 232 gynecological cancer chemotherapy patients from two tertiary hospitals in Zhengzhou, Henan, China, were selected as study subjects from February 2023 to April 2023. General information questionnaire, Self-Regulatory Fatigue Scale (SRF-S), Strategies Used by People to Promote Health (SUPPH) Scale, Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC) and Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS) were employed for data collection. The data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0 software. Chi-square test and binary logistic regression were executed to explore the correlates of self-regulatory fatigue, the significance level (α) was set at 0.05.ResultsThe self-regulatory fatigue score of the 232 patients was 44 (36, 56). Binary logistic regression analyses revealed significant associations, demonstrating that residing in urban areas (OR=0.241, P=0.015), having no comorbidities (OR=0.158, P=0.015), increased perceived social support (OR=0.937, P=0.001), strong self-efficacy (OR=0.959, P=0.021), and heightened psychological resilience (OR=0.895, P<0.001) acted as protective factors against self-regulatory fatigue (P < 0.05).ConclusionPatients residing in rural areas, having more than two comorbidities, lower self-efficacy and psychological resilience levels, and lower perceived social support are indicative of higher levels of self-regulatory fatigue. Identifying these influencing factors can provide references and support for developing individualized support and intervention measures to improve patients’ physical and mental well-being.
