Fatigue in Patients with Cancer

Más información sobre el libro

The book explores the complexities of defining and measuring tiredness and fatigue in cancer patients, highlighting significant gaps in current literature. It discusses the conceptual differences in fatigue terminology between English and German, where "fatigue" often indicates extreme tiredness linked to distress, while "tiredness" in German does not inherently imply illness. This distinction is crucial for ensuring that research on fatigue in German-speaking countries aligns with international studies, fostering better understanding and comparability in future research efforts.
