Variability of patterns of fatigue and quality of life over time based on different breast cancer adjuvant chemotherapy regimens.
PURPOSE / OBJECTIVES To examine the relationships among fatigue and physical and mental quality of life ( QOL ) and different adjuvant chemotherapy regimens in patients with stage I-IIIA breast cancer prior to , during , and after treatment . DESIGN Longitudinal , descriptive design embedded in a r and omized , clinical trial . SETTING Outpatient oncology clinics in the midwestern United States . SAMPLE 196 postoperative women , mean age of 52 years , receiving anthracycline-based chemotherapy regimens : dose-dense taxane , dose-st and ard taxane , or dose-st and ard without taxane . METHODS The Piper Fatigue Scale and Medical Outcomes Study SF-36(R ) ( v.2 ) Survey were completed 48 hours prior to treatment 1 , at treatments 4 and 8 , and 30 days after the final treatment . MAIN RESEARCH VARIABLES Fatigue , adjuvant chemotherapy regimen , and QOL . FINDINGS Fatigue and mental QOL changed significantly over time for all regimens , but the patterns of change did not differ based on regimen . Physical QOL changed significantly over time for all regimens , and the pattern of change differed based on whether taxanes were received . Higher fatigue was correlated with lower physical and mental QOL prior to and 30 days after the final treatment , regardless of regimen . CONCLUSIONS Women who receive taxanes are at higher risk for lower physical QOL over time . Higher fatigue was associated with lower QOL regardless of the chemotherapy regimens . IMPLICATION S FOR NURSING Clinicians should screen patients for fatigue and assess for contributing factors at clinic visits . Methods to integrate evidence -based fatigue interventions into practice should be tested and outcomes evaluated
