Result: The results showed a significant different among intervention on fatigue (p=0. 000) and lactic acid (p=0. 000). The Cohen score of calculation of the results calculates the total sample and mean±sd in the intervention group. The control group used an effect size calculator for the t-test. Variable fatigue values were obtained, with the value of Cohen's d effect in the medium effect size category, namely 0. 32. Whereas, variable lactic acid got a score of Cohen's d effect 0. 74, which shows the impact which sizes strong. Conclusion: The conclusion confirmed that combination between sauna bathing and eucalyptus aromatherapy could effect the fatigue and acid-level lactate among nurses with covid-19. Recommendation: Nursing interventions of combining between sauna bathing and eucalyptus aromatherapy could be used as a complementary therapy that could be applied at health centers or other health services to overcome fatigue and decrease lactic acid levels in coronavirus disease (covid-19).
