1. Women with breast cancer are at high risk for fatigue as a side effect of treatment with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. The risk is compounded by the multiple roles of women who return to work during treatment. 2. The fatigue experience includes a physical component of decreased functional status, an affective component of emotional distress, and a cognitive component of difficulty concentrating. These characteristics of fatigue may present significant challenges for employees. 3. The Family Medical Leave Act provides 12 weeks of unpaid leave to receive medical treatment and/or recover from treatment for breast cancer. 4. The nurse in the workplace can assess and monitor the effects of fatigue and teach employees to manage fatigue through energy conservation, effective use of energy, and health promotion activities to restore energy levels.
