目的
本研究的目的是确定接受放射治疗的患者疲劳与营养状况之间的关系。
设计
使用了相关性和横断面研究设计。
方法
One-hundred-fifty-one subjects with cancer receiving radiotherapy were recruited from a university hospital in Chonan, Korea.使用派珀疲劳量表（PFS）测量疲劳。营养状况的参数包括体重、体重指数、血红蛋白和淋巴细胞计数。通过分析疲劳、体重和体重指数的差异来控制癌症分期。
结果
感到最疲劳的患者年龄在 50 多岁，有工作，患有头颈癌，接受头颈部放疗，并同时接受化疗。癌症类型和治疗类型等疾病相关特征通常与较差的营养状况有关。营养状况较差的患者，例如体重较低、体重指数较低和血红蛋白水平较低的患者，比没有表现出这些特征的患者更容易疲劳。淋巴细胞计数与疲劳无关。
结论
研究结果可供照顾接受放射治疗的患者的护士使用。考虑到疲劳与营养状况之间的关系，护士可以识别最容易出现疲劳和营养不良的风险人群，以便为他们提供适当的干预措施。
PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between fatigue and nutritional status in patients undergoing radiotherapy.
DESIGN
A correlational and crossectional study design was used.
METHOD
One-hundred-fifty-one subjects with cancer receiving radiotherapy were recruited from a university hospital in Chonan, Korea. Fatigue was measured using Piper's Fatigue Scale (PFS). The parameters for nutritional status included body weight, body mass index, hemoglobin, and lymphocyte counts. Cancer stage was controlled in analyzing the differences in fatigue, body weight and body mass index.
RESULTS
The patients who experienced most fatigue were in their fifties, employed, had head and neck cancer, received radiotherapy on the head and neck, and had concomitant chemotherapy. Disease-related characteristics such as cancer type, and treatment type were frequently related to poorer nutritional status. Patients who showed poorer nutritional status, such as those with lower body weight, lower body mass index and lower hemoglobin levels were more fatigued than those who did not exhibit such characteristics. Lymphocyte counts did not correlate with fatigue.
CONCLUSION
The findings can be used by nurses who are taking care of patients undergoing radiotherapy. Considering the relationship between fatigue and nutritional status, nurses can identify the risk group most vulnerable to fatigue and malnourishment in order to provide appropriate interventions for them.
