Better understanding of the levels and trajectories of attentional function, depression, and fatigue and the relationships among these variables is needed to pursue knowledge of underlying mechanisms and to develop interventions targeted at helping to manage cancer-related symptoms. The purpose of the study was to describe how levels of attentional function, fatigue, and depression change over time and whether levels and trajectories of fatigue and depression predict levels and trajectories of attentional function in women with breast cancer being treated with chemotherapy. 000002947 540__ $$fCC BY 000002947 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002947 650__ $$aLongitudinal Studies$$021617 000002947 650__ $$aDepression$$017614 000002947 650__ $$aFatigue$$018907 000002947 650__ $$aCognition$$016868 000002947 650__ $$aSleep$$026066 000002947 650__ $$aBreast Neoplasms$$015809 000002947 6531_ $$aperspective studies 000002947 691__ $$aSchool of Nursing$$041370 000002947 7001_ $$aKeller, Ginger$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002947 7201_ $$aNail, Lillian$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eChair 000002947 8564_ $$9330dfd06-8fc9-4c13-b4f8-5af4bc334d09$$s1759193$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2947/files/3719_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2e52f1184705d58410636207494d96e5c$$31 000002947 905__ $$a/rest/prod/rv/04/2t/27/rv042t27r 000002947 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:2947$$pstudent-work 000002947 980__ $$aTheses and Dissertations
