Background At least 77.0% of breast cancer patients will experience cancer-related fatigue. Hope level and resilience play as two important factors that have influence on cancer-related fatigue. Currently, most studies involve one single factor, either the level of hope or resilience, and explore its relationship with the cancer-related fatigue. Only limited studies explore the action mechanism behind with all three factors put together.Objective To investigate the mediating role of resilience between hope and cancer-related fatigue in patients with breast cancer, and to provide references for finding intervention targets for cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer patients.Methods From March to October 2022, this study was conducted on the sample size of 324 hospitalized patients from three Grade-A tertiary hospitals in Shaanxi Province. These patients were over 18 years old and pathologically diagnosed as breast cancer. Hope level, resilience and cancer-related fatigue were assessed, respectively, using Adult Dispositional Hope Scale (ADHS), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-10) and Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS). Pearson Correlation Analysis was used to analyze the relationship between ADHS score, CD-RISC-10 score and CFS score. AMOS 22.0 was used to analyze the mediating effect of resilience between hope level and cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer patients.Results The detection rate of cancer-related fatigue in patients with breast cancer was 88.58%. Scores of ADHS and CD-RISC-10 were negatively correlated with CFS score (r=-0.750, -0.809, P<0.01). ADHS score was positively correlated with CD-RISC-10 score (r=0.901, P<0.01). Resilience had a mediating effect between the hope level and cancer-related fatigue. The mediating effect value was -0.676(95% CI: -1.005~-0.347), accounting for 81.90% of the total effect.Conclusion The hope level of breast cancer patients can affect cancer-related fatigue directly as well as indirectly through resilience. Resilience plays a partial mediating role between hope level and cancer-related fatigue . |
