Background & Aims: Fatigue is one of the most common and a distressing side effect of cancer and its treatments. There are strategies such as energy conservation strategy to relieve fatigue intensity. Accordingly, the present study aims to determine the effect of energy conservation strategies on cancer-related fatigue in breast cancer patients.
Material & Methods: This study is a Randomized Clinical Trial study. 110 women with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapy who met inclusion criteria were selected by simple sampling method, and they were randomized to intervention and control groups. The data were collected using demographic questionnaire and the Cancer Related Fatigue scale. Intervention was conducted in six group on the basis of energy conservation strategies.The data were analyzed with SPSS 19 software and using descriptive and inferential statistical tests.
Results: The results showed that there was not any significant difference on the demographic characteristics with fatigue scores in breast cancer patients. Also the results showed that there was statistically significant differences in fatigue scores between intervention and control group (p
