“…[ 7 ] It is noteworthy that chemotherapy, as an essential and primary treatment of BC, results in many side effects, including fatigue, nausea, vomiting, sleep disorders, and many other complications. [ 8 ] In addition, chemotherapy causes fatigue in patients more than other cancer treatment methods. [ 9 ] Therefore, fatigue falls into the most common problem of patients with BC (caused by the disease or treatment procedures, particularly chemotherapy).…”

Background: Breast Cancer (BC) is one of the most common cancers in the world, including in Iran. Chemotherapy as one of the basic treatments for BC leads to many side effects such as fatigue. This study aimed to examine the effect of a combined exercise program on the intensity of fatigue in patients with BC undergoing chemotherapy. Materials and Methods: This clinical trial study was conducted on 64 patients with BC undergoing chemotherapy referring to the Seyyed al-Shoada and the Al-Zahra clinics from January to April 2022. Eligible patients who met inclusion criteria were recruited by the convenience sampling and then assigned randomly to intervention and control groups. The combined exercise program in the intervention group was done for 8 weeks as three sessions a week (34 sessions) each for 35–40 min. Piper’s Fatigue Scale was completed for both groups before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Results: The results showed that the mean score of fatigue intensity in both control and intervention groups had a statistically significant difference after the intervention (p = 0.004). The mean fatigue intensity score in the intervention group decreased significantly from mean (SD) 8.17 (1.88) to 5.56 (1.74). Conclusions: Based on the results, a combined exercise program can reduce fatigue in patients with BC. Therefore, nurses can utilize exercise programs and practices as a subset of complementary medicine alongside other treatment methods, which can effectively promote cancer patients’ quality of life by reducing their fatigue.

“…Along with the administration of medications, nurses have employed several independent nursing interventions, including relaxation training, distraction, and guided imagery, and listening to music. Nursing interventions to manage this debilitating side effect can help to reduce anxiety and greatly improve the quality of life for the patient [4].…”

Investigating psychosocial aspects of participation in early anti‐cancer drug trials: towards a choice of methodology

This paper presents the methodological approach and research methods chosen to explore psychosocial aspects of participation in early anti-cancer drug trials from the perspective of those actually involved. The paper describes how an appropriate methodology, or principles of reasoning behind the choice of research methods, emerged. The choice of methodology was based on three elements: first, an understanding of the competing philosophies about how research can be approached and conducted; second, the author's view of the subject area; and third, a consideration of previous research approaches which have investigated psychosocial aspects of cancer clinical trials. A qualitative methodology situated within an interpretative paradigm was eventually chosen as the most appropriate means of exploring trial participants' experiences and the aim and objectives of the research were developed within this methodological framework.
