Abstract-
Effectiveness of patient tailored nutritional intervention on fatigue & nutritional status among cancer patients by using True experimental i.e: “Randomized controlled Trail: pretestposttest design” .Cancer OPD of Maharishi markandeshwar institute of medical sciences and research hospital mullana,Haryana. Total 60 patients were selected by convenience sampling technique and randomized into two groups experimental (n=30) and control (n=30) by computer generated code method. Patient tailored nutritional intervention was administered in experimental group. The post intervention mean score of nutritional status in experimental group was 5.00 which was significantly higher than mean score of control group 6.70 (t=3.90, p=0.001). The computed pearson’s correlation between posttest fatigue and nutritional status was 0.63 & correlation between fatigue and nutritional status was 0.67 which is highly significant (p=0.01**) The use of Patient tailored nutritional intervention was effective in improving nutritional status among cancer patients.. There was a positive moderate relationship between fatigue and nutritional status among cancer patients. As the level of fatigue increase, the nutritional status decrease in cancer patients. Therefore, it is recommended that the ‘patient tailored nutritional intervention’ can be used in case of patients suffering from side effects of patients undergoing chemotherapy and radiation therapy treatment.
