Patient-centered Self-administered Acupressure for Fatigue Management in Chinese Advanced Cancer Patients

Two 2-hour one-on-one training sessions in patient-centered self-administered acupressure will be provided by trainers in the first week (4 hours) in the patient's home or at the university, depending on his/her preference. From the second to fourth weeks of the intervention, participants will engage in 15 minutes of self-administered acupressure twice a day (for a total of 10.5 hours over the 3 weeks). They will log the frequency of self-practice in a diary and be encouraged to undertake self-practice beyond the 4-week intervention. At weeks 2, 3, and 4, a 1-hour follow-up visit will be conducted by the same team of trainers to reinforce learning and self-practice (for a total of 3 hours over the 3 weeks).
