Abstract

Background: Fatigue is defined as a person’s feeling or mood that is manifested by feeling tired, losing energy, and/or not having the desire to do anything. Children with chronic diseases will more often experience fatigue, which can impact their quality of life.

Aim: to provide an overview of the application of Katharine Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory in Nursing Care for Children with Fatigue. The innovation project intervention provides progressive muscle relaxation once a day, in the morning, with a duration of 15 min for 5 consecutive days.

Results: The results showed no effect of progressive muscle relaxation on fatigue. However, there was a change in the fatigue scores. A progressive muscle relaxation is a form of physical exercise that can be done in children with cancer undergoing chemotherapy.

Conclusion: Katherine Kolcaba’s Comfort Theory approach and to look for Evidence Base Nursing Practice that can be used to overcome these problems.
