Abstract
This study aimed to examine unpleasant symptoms and the factors associated with such symptoms among individuals with brain tumors following surgical intervention. The investigated variables included gender, age, tumor location, comorbidities, physical activity, nutritional status, resilience, and social support. Participants of 120 individuals were recruited through purposive sampling based on predefined inclusion criteria. Research instruments included a personal data form, illness record form, Unpleasant Symptom Assessment Scale, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), International Physical Activity Questionnaire–Short Form (IPAQ-SF), Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA), Resilience Quotient (RQ-20), and the Social Support Questionnaire (SSQ Part 2). The content validity of all instruments was evaluated by five experts, and reliability coefficients ranged from 0.86 to 0.99. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation, and Eta. The results indicated that the mean overall severity score of unpleasant postoperative symptoms was 2.54 (SD = 1.47), reflecting a mild level of symptom severity. The most commonly reported symptoms were headache, insomnia, and fatigue, respectively. Significant correlations were found between unpleasant symptoms and comorbidities (r = 0.467), nutritional status (r = –0.444), resilience (r = –0.355), and physical activity (r = –0.242), all at the .05 level of significance. However, gender, age, tumor location, and social support were not significantly associated with unpleasant symptoms following brain tumor surgery.
