Primary | Symptom cluster | The three-single item Numeric Analogue Scales (fatigue, pain and sleep disturbance) were used at baseline and 4 weeks of the intervention to assess the change of symptom severity at cluster levels. The scales consists of a number of symptoms rated on the 11-point scales, with 0 referring to "not present" and 10 referring to "as bad as you can imagine". The symptom cluster severity was evaluated by averaging symptom summary scores, with a summary higher score indicating greater symptom cluster severity. | 4 weeks | |
Primary | Fatigue | The Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) was used to assess the change of fatigue from baseline to 4 weeks of the intervention. The BFI consists of nine items assessing severity of fatigue in the past 24 hours (4 items) and its impacts on patients' different aspects of life, such as daily activity, emotional well-being, walking ability, work, and social interactions (5 items) on a 11-point scale. A summary higher score indicating greater fatigue severity and interference. | 4 weeks | |
Primary | Pain | The Brief Pain Inventory was used to assess the change of pain from baseline to 4 weeks of the intervention. The Brief Pain Inventory - Short Form (BPI) encompasses a 4-item pain severity subscale and a 7-item pain interference with daily activities subscale. Each item was rated on 11-point numerical rating scales. A summary higher score indicating greater pain severity and interference. | 4 weeks | |
Primary | Sleep disturbance | The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess patients' sleep quality and pattern at baseline and 4 weeks of the intervention. The scale consists of 19 self-reported items categorised in 7 domains, including sleep quality, duration, sleep effectiveness, sleep disturbances, sleep medication, and daytime dysfunction over the last month. Possible scores range from 0 to 21 with a higher score indicating greater sleep disturbance | 4 weeks | |
Secondary | Performance status | Outcome measures included the Karnofsky Performance Scale at baseline and 4 weeks of the intervention. The scale ranges from 10 (moribund, fatal process progressing rapidly) to 100 (normal, no complaints, no evidence of disease). | 4 weeks | |
Secondary | Depression and Anxiety | The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to assess the change of depression and anxiety at baseline and 4 weeks of the intervention. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale includes 14 items separated into two subscales for anxiety (HADS-A: 7 items) and depression (HADS-D:7 items). For each sub-scale, the symptom is rated on a 22-point numerical scale which ranges from 0 (no symptom) to 21 (severe). | 4 weeks | |
Secondary | Health-related quality of life | The EQ-5D-5L was used to evaluate health-related quality of life at baseline and 4 weeks of the intervention. The EQ-5D-5L includes five aspects: "mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression". Each dimension has 5 levels: "no problem, slight problem, moderate problem, severe problem and extreme problem". Possible scores range from 0 to 5 with higher scores indicating poorer quality of five dimensions. The EQ VAS records patient's general health-related quality of life on a visual analogue scale, with 0 being "worst imaginable health state" and 100 equal "best imaginable health state". |
