Purpose/Objectives: To explore the use of the Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms (TUS) as a model for describing the symptom experience related to the cognitive impairment associated with standard-dose chemotherapy and compare and contrast that use of the TUS with the Conceptual Model of Chemotherapy-Related Changes in Cognitive Function. Data Sources: PubMed database. Data Synthesis: Retrospective and prospective clinical trials have substantiated the incidence of mild to moderate cognitive impairment. Patients have reported a significant effect on quality of life. Associated factors may include age, anemia, fatigue, depression, anxiety, hormone levels, cytokine release, and genetic makeup. Establishing the appropriateness of a working model to describe the relationships would provide additional structure and focus for empirical research. Conclusions: Both models have utility for describing the relationships of factors associated with chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment. Implications for Nursing: Blending of the TUS and the Conceptual Model of Chemotherapy-Related Changes in Cognitive Function may provide an enhanced framework for further research about the physiologic and psychological aspects of chemotherapy-related cognitive impairment.
