Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between energy intake and fatigue in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Methods: A total of 106 subjects had participated in this study. Data were collected at a university hospital in D city from September 1st to November 10th, 2010. Energy intake including carbohydrates, protein and fat was measured by scale and analyzed using Can Pro 3.0 program. Fatigue level was measured by the Revised Piper Fatigue Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive analysis, t-test, ANOVA and Pearson correlation coefficient with SPSS/WIN 15.0. Results: The mean calorie intake during chemotherapy was $906.53{\pm}201.28Kcal/day$ which was 45.3% of the recommended daily calorie intake. The mean of protein intake level was $43.62{\pm}11.13g/day$, and it was low compared to the recommended daily protein intake. Calories, carbohydrates, and protein levels on 3rd day after chemotherapy were significantly lower than those of 2nd day after chemotherapy (p<.001). The fatigue level during chemotherapy was $5.77{\pm}0.77$ which was moderate level of fatigue. There was a significant negative interrelation between energy intake and fatigue. Conclusion: Theses results suggested that nursing approaches to encourage dietary intake may be helpful to reduce fatigue for cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
