Context: Complementary therapies are frequently used by breast cancer patients for symptom management; however, documentation of the components of intervention fidelity for studies is not widely available.
Objective: This report examines the components of intervention fidelity, as put forth by the Treatment Fidelity Workgroup of the Behavior Change Consortium at the National Institutes for Health (NIH-BCC Workgroup), within an ongoing acupressure study of breast cancer survivors with persistent cancer-related fatigue (PCRF).
Design: For the acupressure study, the research team designed a randomized, controlled trial (RCT) with 3 parallel groups: (1) stimulating acupressure (intervention group); (2) relaxing acupressure (intervention group); and (3) standard care (control group).
