The purpose of this paper is to review current nursing literature and practice in cancer-related fatigue and to provide a suggested plan of treatment. Cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common and challenging symptom-management problems. The successful treatment of fatigue depends on the clinician's understanding of the symptom's continuum within the cancer experience, its etiologies, assessment strategies, and research-based interventions. Clinical outcomes are measured by the patient's ability to balance energy expenditure and restoration. By applying this knowledge to clinical practice, oncology nurses can have a profound impact on the patient's quality of life.
本文旨在回顾当前有关癌症相关性疲劳的护理文献及实践，并提供一份建议的治疗方案。癌症相关性疲劳是最常见且具挑战性的症状管理问题之一。疲劳的成功治疗取决于临床医生对癌症经历中该症状连续体、其病因、评估策略以及基于研究的干预措施的理解。临床结果通过患者平衡能量消耗与恢复的能力来衡量。通过将这些知识应用于临床实践，肿瘤专科护士可对患者的生活质量产生深远影响。
