Abstract

Objective: To determine the effectiveness of exercise-based nursing interventions in reducing fatigue associated with cancer. Methods: A scoping review was carried out, using the PubMed, CINHAL complete, BVS, Scielo databases and the academic google search engine. Studies were included if they were published in the last 10 years, in Portuguese, English or Spanish, and if they referred to exercise-based interventions, with an impact on fatigue associated with cancer, implemented exclusively by nurses. The corpus consisted of 11 articles. Results: The results obtained suggest that exercise, during or after cancer treatments, can reduce the effects of fatigue in people with different cancer diagnoses. The various exercise programs tested include aerobic, resistance and/or muscle stretch training, which differ in their duration, frequency, intensity and degree of supervision. Conclusions: Nurses can develop their practice in educating people with cancer about the benefits of exercise in controlling fatigue, but they can also develop and supervise exercise-based programs, as part of a multidisciplinary team, in order to obtain the best possible results. for this specific population.
