dc.description.abstractThis cross-sectional study was conducted with 160 older people to compare the symptoms experience of cancer and with non-cancer older adult patients. A patient information form and The Rotterdam Symptom Checklist (RSCL) were used to gain information on the experience of their symptoms. The most prevelant symptoms of older cancer patients were tiredness (53.8%), decreased sexual interest (51.2%) and lack of energy (41.2%), for non-cancer older adult patients was a decreased sexual interest (75.0%). Cancer patients proportionately reported more symptoms than non-cancer patients which was reflected in their higher RSCL score. These findings reflect that a greater number of cancer patients report a higher average of symptoms, especially those that are physical in nature: tiredness, lack of energy, head ache, acid ingestion, loss of hair, burning eyes and sore mouth. Oncology nurses, who are an important part of the health care team should be able to assess the symptom burden of older patients during their treatment before, during and after chemotherapy.en_US
