mean scores post-nurse-led intervention at (P= <0.05). Also, the study demonstrated that there was a
highly statistically significant difference in anxiety scores post-nurse-led intervention with (P=
<0.001). Highly statistically significant differences and reductions were detected between fatigue
mean scores pre and post-nurse-led intervention with (P= <0.001). Conclusion: The nurse-led
