From: Nursing management of fatigue in cancer patients and suggestions for clinical practice: a mixed methods study

Quote 1, Simona “when I’m tired, I go up and down the stairs a couple of times, I try to make the effort, then I rest, I do yoga breathing, I shout out, and throw it all out”

Quote 2 Lory “It is important to act on will power, I try to stand up from the chair and if fatigue arrives, I sit down and wait until it passes away or gets better. In these moments, I try to read or listen to music, and think that it will go away just like it came.”

Quote 3, Giulia “I listen to my body very much, I try to avoid what is not good, whatever weighs down on me or negative people. I do some cleaning.”
