abstract = {Fatigue is common in cancer survivors but often
insufficiently treated. Due to its complexity a
one-size-fits-all treatment seems not appropriate. To gain
more information on influencing factors and sub-dimensions
of fatigue we investigated potential determinants and
correlates of physical, affective, and cognitive fatigue in
breast cancer survivors during and after adjuvant therapy.
Within the follow-up of two randomized controlled trials
physical, affective, and cognitive fatigue were repeatedly
assessed during and up to 12 months after cancer therapy
with the 20-item Fatigue Assessment Questionnaire in 255
breast cancer survivors. Determinants of the different
fatigue dimensions over time were explored with linear mixed
models. Chemotherapy appeared as significant precipitating
factor for physical fatigue. However, type of cancer therapy
had no impact on fatigue one year post-treatment. Obesity
was significantly associated with increased physical fatigue
throughout all time points (Δ=15.5 at 12 months) whereas
exercise appeared to be beneficial (Δ = -6.3). In
contrast, affective fatigue was significantly associated
with poor social support and worries about the future. In
addition, poor sleep quality and previous use of
psychopharmaceuticals were significantly associated with
physical, affective, as well as cognitive fatigue. Further,
hot flashes were associated with increased physical and
cognitive fatigue. In conclusion, the broad diagnosis
fatigue in cancer survivors needs to be recognized as a
diversity of symptoms determined by specific characteristics
and likely different etiologies. Taking potential
influencing factors such as obesity, physical inactivity,
sleep problems, hot flashes, lack of social support, or
psychological disorders into consideration might enable a
better, individually-tailored fatigue treatment.},
