| Research Abstract |
The aim of this study is to identify symptom clusters in patients with advanced NSCLC receiving standard therapy. The subjects were sixty patients with advanced NSCLC. The Japanese version of the M. D. Anderson Symptom Inventory etc were used. Explorative factor analysis was conducted to identify symptom clusters. The relationship between symptom clusters and healthcare outcomes was assessed by multiple regression analysis.As a result,four symptom clusters were identified. These affected QOL (P<0.05). Therefore, early detection of patients' experiencing complex symptoms through assessment focused on symptom clusters was considered essential for nursing care that will avoid deterioration of QOL.
