When 12 patients were included in each group, it was determined that the power was 90% at the 5% Type I error level, and a total of 24 women with gynecological cancer were included in the study. The primary outcome of this study was the mean difference in fatigue scores between the groups following the three brachtherapy cycles hand intervention. Patient Information Form and Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) used. This study predicted that hand massage applied in each session, starting from the first session of brachytherapy application, would reduce the level of fatigue in women.
