简要总结
The goal of this research study is to learn what it is like when a patient with cancer has fatigue, as well as how these patients define fatigue. Researchers want to use this information to create questionnaires that may more accurately measure fatigue and its effects in patients with cancer.
详细描述
STUDY PARTICIPATION:
If you agree to take part in this study, you will be interviewed by a member of the study staff and then asked to complete a series of questionnaires and verbal (spoken) questions.
During the interview, you will be asked to describe what fatigue means to you and what it is like for you to have fatigue. The interview will take place while you are at M. D. Anderson receiving your routine care. You will be interviewed alone, and the information gathered during the interview will be kept strictly confidential. The interview will take about 30 minutes to complete. It will be audiotaped so that participants' responses can be fully analyzed.
You will then be asked to complete 4 questionnaires and answer 2 separate questions.
The first questionnaire will include questions about your personal identifying information (such as your age and marital status).
