abstract: Nurses working in many different specialties care for people with cancer. Many of these patients are in the palliative phase of their illness: they are no longer looking for a cure but quality of life is of the utmost importance. This article outlines the development of a patient information leaflet on fatigue, one of the most common and debilitating symptoms experienced by this group of people.
