Abstract

This study searched for subjective elements in the fatigue of laryngectomized patients. The authors used an instrument proposed by YOSHITAKE27 that investigates the symptoms of physical indisposition, mental weariness and a specific sensation of fatigue. Data were analysed considering the literature, demonstrating that the psychological factors, the treatment and phases of the disease are directly related.
