Convenience sampling was used to select 240 ECPs, who received radiotherapy and chemotherapy at the Department of Oncology of a Level-A tertiary hospital in Shanghai from September 2019 to August 2020, and they were randomized to control (CON) and experimental (EXP). After a 12-week intervention, the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F), the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), the Connor-Davidson resilience scale (CD-RISC) and the Functional Independence Measure (FIMSM) were used to evaluate the effects of RE in two groups.
