Understanding experiences of cancer-related fatigue in patients with lung cancer after their cancer treatment : a qualitative content analysis

PURPOSE: Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) is an important symptom affecting the quality of life of patients with lung cancer. However, research on the characteristics of CRF in lung cancer and their relationship to cancer treatment is limited. We aimed to explore the unique features of CRF in patients with lung cancer, and investigate the influencing factors.
METHODS: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 21 adult patients with lung cancer until data saturation was reached. The collected data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. An inductive coding process and deductive content analysis incorporating the established CRF domains were employed. Patient data from electronic medical records were used for data triangulation.
RESULTS: The analysis revealed five themes of CRF: (1) energy depletion, the double burden of illness and treatment, and daily life impediments; (2) feeling down and anxious; (3) neurovascular disturbances and changes in sensory perception; (4) cognitive impairment; and (5) personal and social isolation. CRF tended to improve over time, except for persistent emotional fatigue beyond 6 months. Patients who underwent surgery followed by adjuvant cancer treatment exhibited the most diverse CRF symptoms. The concurrent chemoradiation therapy group experienced significant physical fatigue, whereas the radiosurgery group reported distinct emotional fatigue. Certain factors, such as exercise, can serve as both alleviating and aggravating factors for CRF.
CONCLUSION: Tailored interventions that take into account the multidimensional symptoms of CRF and patient characteristics are crucial. These findings will guide healthcare professionals when implementing patient-centered symptom management and patient education.
