Negative illness perceptions are related to more fatigue among haematological cancer survivors: a PROFILES study.

Conclusion: Those who experience more consequences of their disease, attribute more symptoms to their illness, and have a poorer illness understanding, have a higher risk to experience substantial levels of fatigue even years after diagnosis. Psychological interventions changing these illness perceptions may be beneficial in reducing fatigue among haematological cancer survivors. PMID: 32412348 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
