Summary
The primary aim was to examine the feasibility of an Energy Conservation + Problem Solving Therapy (EC+PST) intervention delivered over the telephone and to evaluate the preliminary intervention effect on fatigue impact in daily activities in post-cardiac arrest (CA) adults with chronic fatigue.
Detailed description
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.

| Type | Name | Description |
|---|---|---|
| OTHER | Energy Conservation+Problem Solving Therapy | The intervention was delivered by telephone. Each EC+PST intervention session was planned to last approximately 45 minutes and occur twice a week for up to 4 weeks. Sessions terminated when the participants identified and solved two fatigue-related problems of their choice or had participated in the intervention for eight sessions. A Participant Workbook was used throughout the intervention. During eight intervention sessions, participants identified two fatigue-related problems and solutions for them, implemented the solution plans, and reviewed the implementations. |
