Fatigue

Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract Patients suffering from chronic or life-threatening illnesses may experience significant fatigue. Fatigue can consist of overwhelming and debilitating symptoms of extensive tiredness or sleepiness or an inability to meet daily self-care requirements and maintain personal interaction with significant others. Fatigue often goes unrecognized by family and healthcare providers or is believed to be a “side effect” of disease and treatment that must simply be accepted. Fatigue affects all aspects of life, at all ages, and may remain unacknowledged by healthcare providers. Yet with assessment and intervention, fatigue can be successfully managed throughout the course of disease, recovery, or the end of life.
