Abstract
The study delves into the intricacies of cancer-related fatigue (CRF), the quality of life (QoL), and other demographic variables of female adolescent and young adult cancer survivors (AYACS) in the landscape of Kerala, India. The cross-sectional study included 288 female AYACS who were selected through purposive sampling and completed self-reported questionnaires on CRF, QoL, and demographic and clinical data. Statistical analyses were applied, including correlation, one-way ANOVA, and regression. and discussion: The temporal dimension is particularly interesting, as individuals three to five years post-treatment report heightened CRF and QoL scores. Furthermore, the research unveils the pivotal role played by predictors such as marital status, educational attainment, and employment status in shaping QoL. Marital status and education emerge as positive predictors of well-being. The study unveils compelling insights into AYA cancer survivorship, revealing a profound impact of CRF on the quality of life dimensions. The role of spirituality, sometimes affecting social connectedness, adds intrigue. The findings provide insights into the complex world of female AYACS, compelling researchers to ponder the significance of addressing CRF and tailoring rehabilitation systems during the critical post-treatment phase, with recognition of gender-specific challenges.
