Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify degrees of fatigue and influencing factors for fatigue in cancer patients. Method: Data was collected by questionnaires from 115 cancer patients at 3 hospitals in Seoul. The research instruments utilized in this study were fatigue, physical symptoms, depression, family support, and health promoting behaviors. Data was analyzed using the pearson correlation, t-test, ANOVA, and stepwise multiple regression with SPSS/WIN 12.0. Result: The mean score of fatigue for cancer patients was 12.90(range: 6-36). Fatigue for cancer patients according to age group and weight change showed a significant difference. Fatigue for cancer patients showed a significantly positive correlation to physical symptoms and depression. There was a negative correlation between family support and health promoting behaviors. The significant factors influencing fatigue for cancer patients were physical symptoms, health promoting behaviors, depression, and age group, which explained about 45.9%. Conclusion: The results suggest that symptoms and depression management, nursing interventions and practices for providing health promoting behaviors according to age are needed to manage the fatigue in cancer patients.

일부 종합병원에 근무하는 간호사들의 A형 행동유형과 피로자각증상과의 관련성을 검토하고자 일부 종합병원에서 근무하는 간호사 306명을 대상으로 2011년 5월 1일부터 6월 30일까지의 기간 동안에 구조화된 무기명 자기기입식 설문지(self-administered questionnaire)를 이용한 설문조사를 하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상자의 A형 행동유형의 분포는 A형 행동유형군이 50.7%, B형 행동유형군이 49.3%이었으며, 피로자각증상의 분포는 정상군이 76.8%, 고위험피로군이 23.2%이었다. A형 행동유형에 따른 피로자각증상의 분포를 보면, 피로자각증상이 정상인군은 B형 행동유형군이 높은 반면, 고위험피로군은 A형 행동유형군이 유의하게 높았으며, A형 행동유형은 피로자각증상과 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 또한 B형 행동유형군보다 A형 행동유형군에서 고위험피로군에 속할 위험비가 유의하게 상승하였다. 위와 같은 결과를 볼 때 A형 행동유형군은 B형 행동유형군보다 피로자각증상이 유의하게 높은 것을 알 수 있었다. 향후 다양한 연구대상에 대한 A형 행동유형과 피로자각증상과의 관련성에 대한 지속적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

Objectives : Consumption is a chronic wasting disease, in oriental medicine concept. Fatigue is a common symptom experienced by many people who have consumption. However, there has been little study about the relationship between consumption and fatigue in the Oriental medicine. For this reason, we attempted to investigate the present status of fatigue of outpatients, and its relation with consumption index, public health practice index, Chalder fatigue scale and Subjective Symptoms of Fatigue Test. Methods : The subjects were 149 outpatients who complain fatigue between Nov. 1, 2006 and Oct. 31, 2007. We measured degree of consumption by consumption index. We measured degree of fatigue by Chalder fatigue scale and Subjective Symptoms of Fatigue Test. Public health practice were investigated by "Breslow's 7 health practice". Results : Studies have shown that a group who disregard public health practices have higher numerical value, in part of $q\grave{i}-x\bar{u}$, $xu\grave{e}-x\bar{u}$, and Physical symptoms than a group more concerned with public health practice. A group who has fatigue for a period over 6 months are more likely to be $q\grave{i}-x\bar{u}$, $y\bar{i}n-x\bar{u}$, Chalder fatigue scale, neuro-sensory symptoms than a group fatigued for less than 6 months. Among the subjects, 81 (55.5%) were considered as 'fatigue patients' by the Chalder scale. Chalder fatigue scale, according to the Subjective Symptoms of Fatigue Test, consumption also, The more increase of Subjective symptoms of fatigue test, the more of consumption scale. Conclusions : This study has shown that there is a link between consumption and fatigue. Moreover, oriental medicine's consumption is more concrete than fatigue scale, so consumption index will have wide application to the study of fatigue.

This study was undertaken to determine the subjective symptoms of fatigue among the house-wives groups. Inquiries into subjective symptoms of fatigue were made by the form designied by the Industrial Fatigue Research Committee of the Japan Society of Industrial Health (1961), Comprising 30 items. These items are classified into 3 groups of 10 items, namely, A) Physical Symptoms, B) Mental Symptoms, C) Neuro-Sensory Symptoms (Figure 1 ). The results of the investigation can be summerized as follows: 1. Within the total items (T), the physical symptoms (A) were the strongest in the effect on the feelings of fatigue, and were followed by (B), and (C). 2. There was a significant difference shown in the distribution of responses by height (X$^2$=236.29, d.f. = 145, p < 0.00001). In the mental category (F = 2.22, d.f. = 4, p = 0.05) and neuro-sensory category (F = 2.64, d.f. = 4, p < 0.001), there was a difference in the responses’com-plaints by weight. 3. As for the ages, housewives at the age of 50 presented a higher rate than those 30 or 20. 4. Regarding the number of children, respondents have more children showed higher frequency rate of complaints. 5. In the investigation sample, complaints were related to education level (f = 18.34, d.f. = 3, p<0.0001) pentruation (t = 2.31, p< 0.022), and sleeping hours (F = 6.04, d.f. = 6, p< 0.0001).

본 연구는 공분산구조분석을 이용하여 소방공무원의 직무스트레스, 사회심리적 요인(A형 행동유형, 자기존중감, 통제신념) 및 수면의 질이 피로수준에 미치는 영향을 규명하고자 하였다. 공분산 구조분석 결과, 피로수준에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 요소는 직무스트레스 요인에 이어, 사회심리적 요인, 수면의 질 순서로 나타났다. 이와 같은 결과는 소방공무원의 피로수준이 직무스트레스, 사회심리적 요인, 수면의 질과의 인과관계가 성립됨을 시사한다. 따라서 소방공무원의 피로수준 감소를 위한 근무환경의 개선뿐만 아니라 제도적인 뒷받침이 필요하리라 생각된다.

Purpose: Illness intrusiveness (illness induced lifestyle disruption) by symptoms was investigated in 439 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Method: The cross-sectional and retrospective survey design was used. Fatigue, disability, pain, and depression were considered as symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. Result: Patients were reported to perceive more illness intrusiveness than other chronic disease patients such as end stage renal disease, bipolar disorder, and peritoneal dialysis patients. They were especially intrusive into work, health, and active recreation domains. Stepwise regression analysis identified four variables counting for 26% of illness intrusiveness variances: fatigue, disability, marital status, and depression. All of the symptoms except pain were found to significantly predict illness intrusiveness. Fatigue explained 16% of illness intrusiveness variances. Conclusion: Fatigue and depression usually overlooked by health professionals must be carefully assessed and managed to reduce perceived illness for rheumatoid arthritis patients.
