简要总结
This randomized controlled trial was designed to examine the effect of hand massage on the level of fatigue in patients receiving BT therapy. Randomized controlled trial was conducted in the radioterapi outpatient clinic of university hospital located in a large city in Turkey. When 12 patients were included in each group, it was determined that the power was 90% at the 5% Type I error level, and a total of 24 women with gynecological cancer were included in the study. The primary outcome of this study was the mean difference in fatigue scores between the groups following the three brachtherapy cycles hand intervention. Patient Information Form and Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) used. This study predicted that hand massage applied in each session, starting from the first session of brachytherapy application, would reduce the level of fatigue in women.
详细描述
Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effects of hand massage intervention the level of fatigue in patients receiving BT therapy. . This randomized clinical trial was conducted.

结局指标
主要结局
Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI)
时间窗: The scale was filled in the baseline (after of the Hand massage).]
The BFI, developed by Mendoza et al. (1999), was used to rapidly assess the severity and impact of cancer-related fatigue on daily living activities \[33\]. This inventory has nine items and measures fatigue severity (questions 1, 2, and 3) and fatigue interference in daily life activities (questions 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, and 4f). Its reliability and validity, in the Turkish context, were determined by Usta Yeşilbalkan and Karadakovan (2005) and had a Cronbach's alpha value of Turkish version of 0.97 \[34\]. Each item of the BFI that consists of 9 items takes a value between 0-10 points.; higher scores indicate greater fatigue scores. Fatigue severity score is calculated by nine items and whereas fatigue interference score is calculated by summation of questions 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, 4e, and 4f.
