Which interventions are acceptable to patients for managing fatigue in long-term conditions?: A qualitative evidence synthesis

Acceptable interventions provide coherent explanations, balance structure with flexibility, and address knowledge, expectations, and behaviours without imposing additional burden. Future interventions should integrate transdiagnostic insights and personalisation opportunities to address fatigue complexity.
