Symptom clusters and influencing factors for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma undergoing concurrent chemoradiation therapy
Objective:To explore the symptom clusters and influencing factors for patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) un-dergoing concurrent chemoradiation therapy(CCRT). Methods:A random sample of patients completed the M. D. Anderson symptom inventory-head & neck(MDASI-H&N). The exploratory factor analysis was conducted to do cross-sectional investigation. Results:A total of 235 patients completed the survey. Varieties of symptoms were generally identified in NPC patients. The most severe symp-toms were dysgeusia,dry mouth and mouth/throat mucus. The exploratory factor analysis of symptoms revealed four major symptom clusters,which were oral mucosa-associated,gastrointestinal,sickness-behavior and general symptom clusters. Predictors on the in-tensity of symptom clusters were medicare type and health insurance according to the results of multiple regression analysis. Conclu-sion:Symptom clusters are identified in NPC patients. Recognition of these symptom clusters can relieve the symptom of patients and is useful for medical staff to assess and provide effective interventions.
