Abstract: Objective: This article presents a phenomenological study on the embodied experiences of patients with Chronic Cancer-Related Fatigue (CCRF), aiming to better understand this complex phenomenon. Design: Data collection consisted of individual interviews with 25 participants who suffered from severe CCRF for at least three months after cancer treatment was finished. Main outcome measures: Against the theoretical background of philosophical phenomenology, we explored embodied experiences, incorporated temporal a… Show more

“…The selection process of EMA items was guided by previous qualitative research on the patients' perspective on CCRF, group-level network studies on CCRF, and clinical expertise in treating patients with CCRF ( Bootsma et al, 2021a , Bootsma et al, 2021b , Bootsma et al, 2020 ; Bruggeman-Everts, 2019 ; Schellekens et al, 2020 ; Wolvers et al, 2021 ). We selected items that we expected to vary momentarily and measured the experiences and responses to CCRF: fatigue-related symptoms, positive and negative mood, activity, coping with fatigue, and context ( Table A.1 ).…”

“…Approximately 25 % of cancer patients suffer from chronic cancer-related fatigue (CCRF) months to years after cancer treatment is completed ( Bruggeman-Everts, 2019 ; Thong et al, 2020b ). From the patient perspective, CCRF is an embodied experience with different interrelated dimensions (e.g., physical sensations, limited daily functioning, invisibility of fatigue) that vary across social situations, and throughout the day ( Bootsma et al, 2021b ). Patients with CCRF experience several limitations in their daily life.…”

“…Die neu erlebte Diskrepanz wird mitunter verglichen mit Erfahrungen im höheren Lebensalter: "Der Körper altert, aber der Geist bleibt jung." [12] Gelegentlich kann der Körper dabei sogar als feindseliger Gegenspieler erlebt werden ( [6]; [17], S. 125).…”

“…Das Vertrauen in den eigenen Körper und die willentliche Selbstwirksamkeit, das Erleben des „Ich kann oder könnte“ 10 , ist stark vermindert (u. a. 11 12 ). Einfachste Alltagstätigkeiten, wie die Tasse auf den Tisch zu stellen oder die Haare zu kämmen, werden zur Qual.…”
