These psychological symptoms can significantly impair the overall well-being and treatment adherence of patients. To examine cancer-related fatigue, anxiety, depression, and sleep quality among patients receiving chemotherapy, and to determine how these symptoms vary according to selected demographic and clinical characteristics. A quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted at An Najah National University Hospital. A convenience sample of 150 cancer patients receiving chemotherapy was recruited. Among 150 cancer patients receiving chemotherapy, fatigue was the most prevalent symptom (24.93 ± 13.05), with higher levels reported by males compared to females, t(147) = 2.49, P = .014, and by married patients (P P P P P P P P < .05). The findings underscore the critical need for comprehensive cancer care that addresses not only the physical aspects of fatigue and sleep disturbances but also the psychological impacts of anxiety and depression.
