Abstract：Objective To investigate the status and associated factors for cancer-related fatigue（CRF） among hospitalized patients receiving chemotherapy，proving a reference for oncology nurses for delivering individualized interventions for such patients.Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted in a convenience sample of 674 hospitalized cancer patients receiving chemotherapy from the First People's Hospital of Huaihua during July 2015 to June 2016 by a self-developed Baseline Characteristics Questionnaire，Piper Fatigue Scale（PFS），Morse Fall Scale（MFS）（Chinese version），Body Movement Ability Classification Scale（BMACS），and Numerical Rating Scale（NRS）（Chinese version）．Correlations of PFS score with age，MFS score，BMACS score，and NRS score as well as the associated factors for CRF were analyzed.Results A total of 674 questionnaires were distributed，and 668 valid questionnaires were collected，with an effective recovery rate of 99.1%.PFS score was positively correlated with age，MFS score，BMACS score，NRS score（r=0.236，0.514，0.216，0.129，all P<0.001）．Multiple linear regression and structural equation analyses revealed that age，clinical department，risk of falls，body movement ability，pain，and accompanying care were the associated factors of CRF during chemotherapy.Conclusion Age，clinical department，risk of falls，body movement ability，pain accompanying care are the associated factors of CRF during chemotherapy.Healthcare workers should pay attention to CRF among cancer patients receiving chemotherapy.
