Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
: This randomised controlled trial was conducted to investigate the effects of breathing exercise and reiki on fatigue and nausea and vomiting symptoms in oncology patients. Data were collected between 1 December 2023 and 30 May 2024, just before the patients started chemotherapy treatment, using data collection forms with a face-to-face interview method of approximately 30 minutes. Since it was thought that there might be case losses during the study, it was decided to take 20 patients for both groups.
