The intervention provided is by providing pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapy, slow deep breathing relaxation therapy. This study used the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue Scale instrument. Fatigue complaints decreased with an increase in fatigue score. Before being given therapy, the slow deep breathing reaction was at a score of 22.6 became 40.33 after being given therapy for 3 days.
