It attempts to explain fatigue using the 3P model: predisposing factors, precipitating factors, and perpetuating factors. This chapter starts to guide patients to self-reflect and take notes about what factors that most resonate with them. This chapter ends with a section directed at health care practitioners and provides guidance about how to effectively assess and screen for fatigue.
