1 STRATEGIES TO HELP DEAL /COPE WITH CANCER RELATED FATIGUE PATRICIA SHEEHAN PHD CANDIDATE WATERFORD INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
2 PATRICIA SHEEHAN AKA PATRICIA FERNCOMBE
3 CANCER VIEWED AS A CONDITION FROM WHICH PEOPLE SURVIVE
4 WHAT IS CANCER RELATED FATIGUE Think of some words that people may use to describe their/your fatigue
5 CANCER RELATED FATIGUE Cancer related fatigue is the most common side effect of cancer and its treatment (Morrow et al., 2002) Cancer-related fatigue is a distressing, persistent, subjective sense of physical, emotional and / or cognitive tiredness or exhaustion related to cancer or cancer treatment that is not proportional to recent activity and interferes with usual functioning (National Cancer Institute, 2014) A multidimensional construct having, physical, cognitive, and emotional factors Not alleviated by sleep or rest
6 PREVALENCE OF CANCER RELATED FATIGUE Undergoing cancer treatment 14% to 96% of patients (Fossa, Dahl, & Loge., 2003). Post treatment An estimated one-third report clinically relevant CrF up to 6 years post treatment (survey n = 1294 ) (Jones et al., 2016) Cancer survivors V Non Cancer Review article - Significantly worse fatigue among cancer survivors V s noncancerous populations (Prue et al., 2006)
7 CAUSES OF CRF
8 IMPACT OF CANCER RELATED FATIGUE ON PATIENTS LIVES CrF has the greatest neg. impact on activities of daily living & QoL (Curt et al., 2000) >75% of cancer survivors change their employment status because of CrF (Curt et al., 2000) 1/3 of all cancer survivors hot returned to work 18 months after diagnosis (Mehnert, 2011) Study of 379 cancer patients with history of chemotherapy 91% of patients with fatigue prevented from leading normal lives 88% of patients with fatigue changed their daily routine (Crawford & Gabrilove., 2000)
9 TREATMENT TYPES RECOMMENDED FOR MANAGEMENT OF CRF Pharmaceutical Psychological Exercise
10 WHAT IS COGNITIVE BEHAVIOUR THERAPY (CBT)? CBT is : Based on the principle that certain thinking habits, feelings and behaviours hamper your recovery.
11 COGNITIVE BEHAVIOUR THERAPY CONTINUED... CBT can: Help you to change how you think and what your behaviours. Help you to make sense of overwhelming issues by breaking them down into smaller pieces. Help to build your confidence in believing that you can make positive changes that will enhance your life. These changes can help you to feel better and aid your recovery.
12 THE STRENGTH OF CBT You can continue to practice and develop your skills once the sessions are finished; making it less likely that your symptoms or problems will return. If they do return you will know how to tackle them. Let s run through some concepts of CBT that may help you!
13 PROBLEMS & GOALS Write down what your specific problems are and what you want to be able to work towards. These are your own personal problems and goals and are individual to you and your present situation. These difficulties can seem overwhelming and distressing The focus is to identify your current problems A helpful way to do to this is by breaking the problems down into smaller more manageable steps This can be done by dividing each problem into individual parts that can be tackled bit by bit
14 Once the steps are established these can be converted into goals. These can be short or long term but remember they also need to be S.M.A.R.T and ones that will make a difference to your quality of life.
15 PROBLEM - I am too tired to see my friends SOLVE THE PROBLEM - I will use the phone or Facebook to keep in contact with my closest friends PROBLEM - I am getting annoyed with everyone. SOLEVE THE PROBLEM - I will have a short conversation with my husband/wife everyday about his/her day PROBLEM - I can t do the things I used to do. SOLVE THE PROBLEM -I will start doing a set amount of housework daily say 10 minutes up to 20 minutes by the end of the month.
16 TIPS TO ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS Involve your family and friends Review your goals Change goals if needed Reward yourself when goals achieved If goal is not being achieved break it down into smaller steps Set enjoyable tasks to ensure goals are achievable
17 ACTIVITY, REST & TIREDNESS The ability to do things as quickly and efficiently as before the onset of cancer can be reduced for several reasons such as fatigue. It can also be related to the overall experience of being diagnosed and treated for cancer. You may feel overcome and exhausted by the whole process
18 DEALING WITH THIS TIREDNESS Some people may : Adjust their lifestyle considerably Feel they lack the energy to do the things they used to do Try to cope by reducing their level of activity and by resting more Try to strive to do everything at the same pace as before the illness Give up altogether CAN ANY OF YOU RELATE TO ANY OF THESE? PERHAPS YOU HAVE DEALT WITH THINGS IN OTHER WAYS?
19 SHORT TERM EFFECTS Reasonable and understandable and can help in the short term!
20 LONG TERM EFFECTS OF REST muscle weakness more tiredness tire more easily when you start doing things again experience tiredness after short bursts of energy and activity Causing you to: become frustrated feel fed up feel even more tired
21 HOW YOU COPE WITH YOUR LEVELS OF TIREDNESS AND LEVELS OF ACTIVITY DEPENDS ON A LOT OF DIFFERENT THINGS: Some people may : Adjust their lifestyle considerably Feel they lack the energy to do the things they used to do Try to cope by reducing their level of activity and by resting more Try to strive to do everything at the same pace as before the illness Give up altogether Rest more in the hope of improvement Exercise energetically in the hope of beating the problem Alter what you do depending on how tired you feel CAN YOU THINK OF ANYMORE THAT A SPECIFIC TO YOU?
22 WHICH EVER YOU DO it can end up with pattern of rest and activity that goes up and down; doing too much one day which leads to exhaustion the next day
23 CIRCLE OF TIREDNESS
24 AIM OF PLANNED REST & ACTIVITY to try to stop the Circle of Tiredness
25 BENEFITS OF PLANNED REST AND ACTIVITY Help you to be able to slowly increase what you do and how much you rest Doing a mixture of activities can help you feel better in yourself and can improve your selfconfidence
26 In order for rest to be most effective it is important that it is planned for set times every day. In the beginning it is important to get as much rest as you think you need and then alter it week by week. Plan how often you will rest during the day. Spread this in regular intervals during the day State where you will rest. That will help you to regain your energy and manage your tiredness State how long you will rest for at each time for example I will rest on the sitting room sofa for an hour at 11.30am, 3.30pm and at 6.30pm. Try to avoid going to sleep during these rest periods as it may disrupt your sleep at night
27
28 Keep track of your daily activity and rest for the next week
29 Thoughts "I can't cope" Emotions Stressed and anxious Body Symptoms Aches and pains, feel weak Actions Sit down or go to bed GETTING CAUGHT IN A CIRCLE OF NEGATIVE THINKING.
30 NEGATIVE THOUGHTS Negative thoughts Negative actions Distressing bodily feelings Upsetting emotions Believe negative thoughts even more
31 THOUGHT DIARY Tackle these thoughts when they occur and try to stop them from leading to the other destructive events
32 THOUGHT DIARY 1. Fill in the date and time of the thoughts - they may occur more at certain times of the day if so you will be fore warned and ready to tackle them 2. Record the thoughts keep them simple and clear - I won t be able to do the grocery shopping today 3. Write down how you feel - fed up, browned off, sad, mad 4. Come up with different ways of seeing this thought 5. Write down what was the result of you challenging the thought - felt more in control when I decided to do just go to the butchers today 6. Keep the diary simple and to the point it is not intended to be a difficult or time consuming activity 7. Fill in the diary as soon after you have the negative thought 8. The quicker you catch yourself thinking in a negative way the better your chance of challenging this thought and stopping the cycle
33 THOUGHT DIARY TEMPLATE
34 CHALLENGING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS!
35 CHALLENGING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS Once aware of your negative thinking you can now challenge the thoughts! "What evidence do I have for this thought?" "Is there an alternative way of looking at the situation?" "How would someone else think about the situation?" "Are my judgements based on how I felt rather than what I did?" (Feelings are not facts!) "Am I setting myself an unrealistic or unobtainable standard? "Am I forgetting relevant facts or over-focusing on irrelevant facts?" "Am I thinking in all-or-nothing terms?"
36 CHALLENGING NEGATIVE THOUGHTS "Am I over-estimating how responsible I am for the way things work out?" "Am I over-estimating how much control I have over how things work out?" "What if it happens?" "What would be so bad about that?" "How will things be in X days/months/years time?" "Am I over-estimating how likely an event is?" "Am I underestimating what I can do to deal with the problem/situation?" "Am I thinking in absolutes... 'should', 'must', 'ought', 'always', never?
37 RECOGNISING AND CHALLENGING YOUR NEGATIVE THINKING WILL HELP YOU TO GET THE MOST OUT OF LIFE AND TO HAVE MORE AND MORE POSITIVE EXPERIENCES.
38 LONG TERM & LATE EFFECTS OF CANCER TREATMENT HOWEVER, EXERCISE CAN HELP ALLEVIATE A LOT OF THESE EFFECTS.
39 Results from my PhD Efficacy Study

I felt that this programme was specifically tailored to all our needs. One of the positive things that came out of the cancer I even enjoyed the exercise.

The encouragement that we get from one and other and the comradery you know it is really important CRF027 We were in it together and have all been through it CRF024 CRF028-Have found the social side of this experiment great for my confidence and that of others.

50 What is moderate intensity? What is vigorous intensity? How do we measure them?
51

53 Am I doing too much? Am I doing too little? What type should I be doing? Am I doing more harm than good?
54 IS EXERCISE SAFE? Exercise is safe both during and after most types of cancer treatment... Patients are advised to avoid inactivity and return to normal daily activities as soon as possible after surgery, and during adjuvant cancer treatments. The standard age appropriate guidelines are also appropriate for cancer patients (ACSM, 2014)
