      abstract     = {To evaluate the patients' perspective on feasibility of
                      using a fatigue diary and its benefits on
                      self-management.This longitudinal study enrolled 50 cancer
                      patients in routine care. Following baseline (t0)
                      assessment, patients were asked to complete a 7-day fatigue
                      diary and subsequently obtained written diary evaluation.
                      Feasibility, benefits, and fatigue-related attitudes were
                      assessed via self-report 1 (t1) and 4 months (t2) after
                      distributing the diary. Data were analyzed descriptively and
                      using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests.Most patients $(94\%)$
                      completed the diary for 7 days and rated feasibility as
                      high. After diary completion and receiving the evaluation,
                      fewer patients felt helpless in the face of fatigue (t1:
                      $21\%$ vs. t0: $53\%).$ Additionally, more patients
                      addressed fatigue with their general practitioner (t2:
                      $49\%$ vs. t0: $36\%)$ and pro-actively searched for
                      information and help (t2: $59\%$ vs. t0: $38\%).$ The diary
                      enabled a majority of patients to be aware of their fatigue
                      patterns, to plan daily routines accordingly and to take
                      adequate actions against fatigue.The study showed that
                      symptom monitoring via a fatigue diary was considered
                      feasible and enhanced self-management in cancer patients.
                      Thus, fatigue diaries might be a useful measure contributing
                      to an improved fatigue management. The results reinforce
                      guideline recommendations for routine application of fatigue
                      diaries in clinical care. Healthcare professionals should
                      encourage patients to fatigue diary use and provide
                      individually tailored counseling based on diary entries.},
