Understanding Cancer-Related Fatigue

This study aims to better understand how cancer-related fatigue (CRF) affects cancer survivors and how they talk about it with their doctors. The goal is to create a visual aid, called a CRF Visual Aid, to help improve these conversations and potentially help manage fatigue. Researchers will look at different aspects of your fatigue experience to see what's most important. You might be able to join if you are an adult (18 or older) who has had cancer, finished treatment more than six months ago, have no current signs of cancer, and are experiencing fatigue. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 80 participants.

Study design
This is an observational study that will enroll 80 participants. It is a mixed methods cross-sectional pilot study.
What's involved
You would complete a six-minute walk test, surveys, and two virtual video interviews (45 minutes each). There may also be one additional virtual interview.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your experiences with cancer-related fatigue will be measured at seven months from when you start the study.

What this trial measures

  • Domains reflecting cancer-related fatigue (CRF) experiences in cancer survivorsSeven months from baseline

    A domain is a topic that people talk about that has sub-items characterizing the distinct features and levels of importance within the domain. Using qualitative analysis, evaluation of how survivors think and talk about CRF to generate domain classifications of language. Domain is a categorical variable.
