Insights into effective fatigue reducing interventions in kidney transplant candidates: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fatigue is a prevalent and debilitating symptom among kidney transplant candidates (KTCs), significantly affecting their quality of life and overall well-being. Its complexity necessitates a comprehensive approach to manage fatigue in this population.

Purpose

To explore the effectiveness of nonpharmacological interventions in reducing fatigue in KTCs.

Methods

Nonpharmacological interventions targeting fatigue in participants aged ≥18 years, who were either on the kidney transplantation waitlist or eligible candidates, were considered. A database search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL, and Web of Science. Results were reported in accordance with the guidelines provided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyse
