Supportive Intervention for Fatigue in Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy: A Randomized Controlled Trial

Abstract: This study evaluated a supportive intervention for fatigue in patients undergoing chemotherapy. One hundred three chemotherapy-naïve patients were recruited, stratified by treatment regimen, and randomly allocated to intervention or usual care. The intervention was conducted over three months. Recipients were provided with an investigator-designed information pack and Fatigue Diary that they completed during the week following each treatment. Additionally, support nurses visited them monthly at home. They asse… Show more

“…Anti-depressants have been used for fatigue that is related to depression, but there is currently minimal research evidence to support their use (105,106). Psychosocial interventions such as support groups, psychotherapy, relaxation therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and distraction techniques such as reading and listening to music have also been investigated (10,(106)(107)(108)(109). The management of CRF through exercise has received the most attention in the literature (10,105,106).…”

“…The brief nursing intervention (BNI) was aimed at advising patients how to avoid deconditioning. There is evidence that such brief interventions for fatigue given by nurses are effective [15][16][17]. Furthermore, it is recognized that oncology nurses can play significant roles in the translation of cancer-related fatigue guidelines by teaching patients and decreasing barriers [19].…”

“…Les approches non pharmacologiques à la gestion de la fatigue liée au cancer reçoivent de plus en plus d'attention et sont bénéfiques pour certains patients. Ces approches comprennent des programmes de marche ou d'exercice (Windsor, Nicol & Poller, 2004), l'éducation des patients au sujet de la fatigue (Ream, Richardson & Alexander-Dann, 2006) et le counselling individuel offert par des professionnels (Mitchell, Beck, Hood, Moore & Tanner, 2007).…”
