Synopsis:

	Thirty-four patients (18 in the experimental group and 16 in the control group) were given pretests and posttests to measure nausea, vomiting and fatigue. The experimental group received four phases of foot reflexology for 40 minutes. There was a statistically significant decrease in nausea, vomiting and fatigue in the experimental group.

Conclusion:

	Foot reflexology can be used as an intervention for breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy who experience nausea, vomiting or fatigue
