Relationship between fatigue and self-compassion and associated factors in patients with hematological cancer: A cross-sectional study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study was carried out to examine the relationship between fatigue and self-compassion, and to identify the factors associated with these variables in patients with hematological cancer.
methodsThe study was conducted with 120 patients with hematological cancer who received treatment in a hospital in Antalya, Turkey, between January 2022 and January 2023. A personal information form, the Piper Fatigue Scale, and the Self-Compassion Scale were used to collect the data. After evaluating the normality of the data, t-test, analysis of variance, correlation, and regression analyses were performed.
resultsThere was a moderately significant negative relationship between fatigue and self-compassion. Patients with a family history of cancer, chronic disease, greater pain, malnutrition, constipation, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, more severe sleep problems, higher ECOG Performance Status, and those who coped by crying were associated with greater fatigue. Patients who were 65 years of age or younger, had less income than expenses, had greater weight, had more stress symptoms, had a shorter daily sleep time, and coped by making humor and crying were associated with lower self-compassion.
conclusionsWe concluded that there was a moderate negative relationship between fatigue and self-compassion. Also, fatigue and self-compassion varied according to sociodemographic and disease-related characteristics. The results of our study indicate that more research is needed to establish whether there is causation between the two constructs.
