Effect of cancer-induced fatigue on postoperative quality of life of patients with laryngeal cancer
2019
Objective
To explore the incidence of cancer-induced fatigue after laryngeal cancer surgery and its effect on the quality of life of patients with laryngeal cancer.
Methods
A total of 71 patients with laryngeal cancer after surgery were measured using the general information questionnaire, cancer fatigue scale (CFS) and the Chinese version of the head and neck scale specially designed for cancer treatment and function evaluation system(FACT-H&N).
Results
Total postoperatively in patients with laryngeal cancer fatigue scored(23.93±7.65)points, including emotional fatigue points won the highest(55.99%), followed by the body fatigue(36.87%)and cognitive fatigue(22.80%). The patient's quality of life score were(70.24±11.51) points.CFS total fatigue score and each dimension score were negatively correlated with the FACT-H&N total score(P<0.05). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that the physical and emotional fatigue dimensions of CFS entered the equation(P<0.05), F=14.757(P<0.001), R2=0.398.
Conclusion
The cancer related fatigue of the patients after laryngectomy is more serious, which leads to the decline of the quality of life of patients.Medical workers should find out the fatigue condition of the patients after laryngectomy in time and give corresponding measures to alleviate fatigue, so as to improve their quality of life.
