Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome of this study is fatigue. Fatigue is measured at the beginning, after the intervention and at the 6-month follow-up for the intervention group. The waiting control group completes the questionnaire 10 weeks after the basic assessment or before the yoga intervention. Fatigue is measured with EORTC QLQ-FA13 13 Items (European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer - Quality of Life Questionnaire - Fatigue; Weis et al. 2017). Fatigue is measured in 3 dimensions with 13 elements: Physically, emotionally and cognitively. There are four answer categories "not at all", "a little", "quite a lot" and "very much", coded with values from 1 to 4: According to the scales of the EORTC QLQ-C30, the FA13 results are converted into a range from 0-100. Higher values indicate a higher level of fatigue. | — |
