The most preferred systemic treatment method in cancer is chemotherapy. Chemotherapy has many side effects, depending on the treatment regimen used. Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms that cause many cognitive and physiological conditions in cancer patients. Therefore, aim of this study is to examine how fatigue affects anxiety, depression, and sleep quality of patients undergoing chemotherapy. Method: The data of this descriptive-cross-sectional study were obtained from 72 cancer patients over the age of 18 who agreed to participate in the study in a research hospital in Izmir between May 2020 and October 2020. 'Patient Information Form', 'Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), 'FACIT Fatigue Scale', and 'Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)' were used to collect data. Results: As a result of the analysis, a statistically significant and positive correlation was found with a correlation coefficient of 0.468 for PSQI and FACIT and Depression subscale. A statistically significant, positive and moderate correlation was found with a correlation coefficient of 0.342 calculated between PSQI and Depression subscale. A statistically significant difference was found with a correlation coefficient of 0.616 calculated between the FACIT scale and the HADS. In the scales applied to the patients, it was determined that there were statistically significant differences only between the chemotherapy type, disease stage, and age from the descriptive characteristics of the patients. Conclusion and Recommendations: A high level of fatigue affects adversely patients' anxiety, depression and sleep quality. Planning interventions to control the factors that cause fatigue in patients undergoing chemotherapy will prevent them from experiencing other negative symptoms. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
