Abstract
Background: Cervical cancer a significant health issue worldwide. Improving women hope level has a
pivotal role in reducing fatigue and improve quality of life Aim: This research aimed to evaluate effect of
nursing model based on Snyder’s hope theory on fatigue and quality of life among women with cervical
cancer Design: A quasi-experimental research (two groups pre/posttest design). Sample: 54 women
diagnosed with cervical cancer. Setting: The present research conducted at obstetric & gynecological
department at Helwan General Hospital, Egypt. Tools: Four tools were used for data collection: A structured
interviewing questionnaire, Herth hope index, Cancer-related fatigue scale and Functional Assessment of
Cancer Therapy- General. Results: There was no a statistical significant difference in the mean scores of
the Herth Hope Index, Cancer-related fatigue and Quality of life between the study and control groups at pre
intervention phase (p ˃ 0.05). However, after three and six months of intervention, the mean score of the
Herth Hope Index, Cancer-related fatigue and Quality of life were higher among study group than the control
group with highly statistical significant difference (p ≤ 0.001). Conclusion: Application of nursing model
