ARTICLE ANALYSIS

Article Analysis

The background

Cancer is one of the most deadly diseases that exist upon the face of the blue planet. It is a straight question upon the survival of an individual who suffers from it. The paper is all about the analysis of an article that corresponds to the self-efficacy of an individual in managing the symptoms of cancer, since it is based upon an assumption that theories and medical studies are not yet been able to identify the symptoms completely, as well as, the development of the results related to these symptoms. The role of self-efficacy is completely neglected the way the doctors and healthcare experts look at the treatment and cure, as well as, the management of the symptoms.

The evaluation

The section comprises of the weighing of discussion, as well as, the conclusion of the study. The evaluation is further discussed as under;

The discussion

In the discussion section, the idea of the management of fatigue by the self-efficacy of the patient has been portrayed. The discussion is based upon the idea that fatigue is one of the most frequent and evident symptom in cancer patients, this is because the whole picture is to develop the inappropriateness of the treatment due to the lack of the evidence of the significance of self-efficacy in of patients in managing the symptoms that are not considered by the medical. The methodology used encompasses of the individual testing of individual against the hypothesis, the quantitative methodology.

However, the authors could not elaborate the rationale, since they focused the whole research upon the identification of very trivial symptoms that could be caused by diseases other than cancer and could be managed at home easily by the patient without needing much consultation of the medical experts. As a result, the measure of management through the self-efficacy of the patient could merely lead to the management of small symptoms, and therefore, the effect of the approach of self-efficacy is not really justified by the author in the discussion section.

The discussion explains the significance of the symptoms of CRF and speaks about the development of the sensitivity phenomenon demonstrated by the notion of the escalation of other symptoms along with the increase in the CRF, that is, a clearly stated direct correlation between the two. However, the dealing and management of the entire symptom by the self-efficacy is a problem, since patients' complaint to the doctor when they feel the excess of cancer related fatigue by the people. As a result, the usage of self-efficacy to manage the symptoms is not properly demonstrated by the studies, as well as, the hypothesis testing process.

Conclusion

In the concluding part, the study is wrapped up. The conclusion focuses the relationship between CRF and other symptoms of the disease. As a result, the study adheres to the idea that most of the cancer patients demonstrated their suffering from the symptom of cancer related fatigue (CRF) and other related symptoms. However, cancer itself is a horrendous disease, and therefore, it ...
