Solving fatigue-related problems with cardiac arrest survivors living in the community.

Aim: The aim was to describe fatigue-related problems reported by post-cardiac arrest adults with chronic fatigue and energy conservation strategies generated using an Energy Conservation plus Problem Solving Therapy intervention.

Methods: Following an introduction to the intervention process outlined in a Participant Workbook, participants engaged in the telephone intervention by identifying one to two fatigue-related problems. They then brainstormed with the interventionist to identify potential strategies to reduce fatigue, tested them, and either modified the strategies or moved to the next problem over three to five sessions.

An intervention for cardiac arrest survivors with chronic fatigue: A feasibility study with preliminary outcomes.

Aim: The primary aim was to examine the feasibility of recruiting and retaining participants for an Energy Conservation+Problem Solving Therapy (EC+PST) intervention delivered over the telephone, to evaluate the acceptability of the intervention, and to assess the appropriateness of the outcome measures. The secondary aim was to evaluate the preliminary intervention effect on fatigue impact, activity performance, and participation in daily activities in post-cardiac arrest (CA) adults with chronic fatigue.

Methods: This feasibility study used a prospective, pre-post experimental design.

Feasibility of a Cognitive Behavioral Intervention to Manage Fatigue in Individuals With Traumatic Brain Injury: A Pilot Study.

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility of conducting a randomized clinical trial of an Internet-based manualized intervention to teach individuals with traumatic brain injury to manage their fatigue.

Setting: Community dwelling.

Participants: Forty-one participants randomized to Maximizing Energy (MAX) intervention group (n = 20) and Health Education group (n = 21).

Activities and adaptation in late-life depression: a qualitative study.

OBJECTIVE. We sought to understand activity choices of older adults when they were depressed. METHOD.
