Purpose
This study explored a causal model explaining fatigue in lung cancer patients currently undertaking Chemotherapy. Method In this cross-sectional study, a convenience sample of 246 lung cancer patients were recruited from six Oncology centers throughout the north of Vietnam. The hypothesized model, consisting of insomnia, dyspnea, cough, anxiety, stage of disease, physical activity, nutritional status, and number of completed chemotherapy cycles, was constructed based on Piper's Integrated Fatigue Model and a review of the literature. Results All factors, except the number of completed chemotherapy cycles significantly affected fatigue. The hypothesized model explained 42.9% of fatigue variance. Dyspnea had the largest total effect on fatigue (β = 0.397, p Conclusion The model fits well to explain fatigue. Having the largest direct effect on fatigue, insomnia appeared as a factor of choice for future fatigue control programs. Due to its higher direct effect on fatigue, dyspnea was recommended over cough for fatigue management. Additionally, the interactions among fatigue, dyspnea, and cough suggested that comprehensive programs, which simultaneously address these three symptoms, would be a promising approach for practitioners to consider. |
