This book reviews the literature on fatigue in general and in cancer. A chapter is devoted to identifying the concept of fatigue in cancer patients in comparison to fatigue as experienced in healthy individuals. Descriptors derived from this conceptional analysis were compared to those known from existing measurement tools, as published in available literature. A new fatigue assessment questionnaire was then developed and tested. In another study, this instrument underwent further reliability and validity testing. At the same time, a theoretical framework of fatigue emerged. The last chapter synthesizes the findings of the consecutive studies, and the appendix contains the Fatigue Assessment Questionnaire. This book is a must for reseachers, oncology nurses, physicians and psychologists who deal with this relevant aspect of quality of life in cancer patients.

"Fatigue is a phenomenon that many people with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) have to endure. Even though fatigue is a prevalent symptom, there are few qualitative studies that have been completed that review fatigue in daily life while living with COPD. This qualitative study was conducted on a purposive sample of nine participants with varying degrees of COPD from one pulmonology clinic in mid-Michigan. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with participants regarding their experience living with fatigue in COPD. The data collected were subjected to qualitative content analysis and compared to Piper's integrated theoretical fatigue framework. The analysis resulted in four themes: feelings of anger towards one's condition, having to adjust activities of daily living and enjoyment, anxiety towards other people, and feelings of isolation. The main findings describe fatigue as being something that involves a person's everyday life which has been shown in previous research. Participants in this study had to adjust their daily activities and situations in different ways to manage their fatigue. Coping mechanisms can be decreased due to fatigue and participants sometimes felt isolated and angry due to their limitations from their fatigue. Fatigue can impact how people try to live their lives and different strategies and interventions can be developed to help people optimize living with their fatigue. Healthcare providers need to address fatigue in COPD to develop patient treatment plans and provide medical interventions as necessary." -- From page iv.

Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) often experience multiple symptoms, which are highly interrelated. Symptom burden in COPD affects physical and mental health negatively. Fatigue is the second most prevalent symptom after dyspnea in COPD. It is increasingly recognized as a key symptom and clinical indicator of functional limitation among COPD patients. Although the underlying mechanism of fatigue is still unknown, recent studies suggests that inflammation may play a role in development of fatigue. The aim of this dissertation study was to examine influencing factors and impacts of fatigue for patients with COPD. It was part of a longitudinal observational study of COPD patients to examine the biological causes and functional consequences of depression. In the first paper, we examined interrelationships among dyspnea, anxiety, depressive symptoms, and fatigue as contributing factors of physical performance in COPD. We found that dyspnea was the strongest predictor of impaired physical performance. Greater anxiety was associated with enhanced physical performance. Dyspnea was associated with anxiety, and depression, and fatigue, and anxiety and depression were associated with fatigue. These findings showed that multiple symptoms are interrelated to each other. Furthermore, symptoms experienced by COPD patients have impacts on physical performance. Longitudinal studies are needed to confirm the directionality of these relationships. The second study was performed to explore the association between systemic inflammation and fatigue over one year in patients with COPD. Four inflammatory markers were included C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor - a. IL-8 and CRP were associated with fatigue after adjusting for potential confounders when using baseline data. However, the longitudinal data analyses did not show any associations between systemic inflammation and fatigue. It indicates systemic inflammation may play a role in the development of fatigue in COPD. The CRP may serve as a potential biomarker of fatigue in COPD. Depressive symptoms are closely associated with fatigue among COPD patients. Further studies are needed to confirm the role of inflammatory biomarkers in the development of fatigue. Findings of this dissertation study can be used to develop an exercise intervention to improve symptom burden for the COPD population.
