Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the change patterns of fatigue and quality of life during consecutive
chemotherapies and to determine the relationship of these two variables.

Method: Stomach cancer patients receiving chemotherapy were recruited from a university hospital in Seoul. Each chemotherapy, subjects were asked to respond to the questionnaires regarding their fatigue and quality of life. The
number of subjects who completed 4 cycles and over was 11. Fatigue was measured with Lee’s tool(1999). Quality
of life was measured with a tool revised by the author based on Padilla et al(1983).

Result: Most patients were in 1st stage(5 patients) or 3rd stage(5 patients). Fatigue was revealed at its highest level in the 3rd or 4th chemotherapy and at its lowest level in the 1st or 6th chemotherapy. A quality of life appeared at its
highest level in the 5th or 6th chemotherapy and the lowest level in 3rd or 4th chemotherapy.

Conclusion: Among 6 cycles of chemotherapy, in 3-4th chemotherapy the fatigue was the highest and the quality of life were the lowest. Many patients decided to stop treatment at the same period. Therefore we can recognize
cancer patients receiving chemo- therapy are in the highest risk at the time of the 3-4 th chemotherapy.
