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.
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.
Eighteen cardiac arrest survivors with chronic fatigue identified instrumental activities of daily living and leisure activities as fatigue-related activities more frequently than basic activities of daily living. Energy Conservation strategies used most frequently were: plan ahead, pace yourself, delegate to others, and simplify the task.
Post-cardiac arrest adults living in the community with chronic fatigue can return to previous daily activities by using energy conservation strategies such as planning ahead, pacing tasks, delegating tasks, and simplifying tasks.
描述慢性疲劳的心脏停搏后成年人报告的与疲劳相关的问题，并使用能量守恒加问题解决治疗干预产生的能量守恒策略。
在参与者工作手册中概述的干预过程介绍之后，参与者通过确定一个或两个与疲劳相关的问题来参与电话干预。然后，他们与干预者一起头脑风暴，以确定减轻疲劳的潜在策略，对这些策略进行测试，并在三到五次会议中修改策略或转移到下一个问题。
18 名患有慢性疲劳的心脏骤停幸存者将日常生活的工具性活动和休闲活动确定为与疲劳相关的活动，而不是基本的日常生活活动。最常使用的能量守恒策略包括：提前计划、自我调节、委托给他人和简化任务。
生活在社区中的患有慢性疲劳的心脏停搏后成年人可以通过使用提前计划、任务调节、任务委托和任务简化等能量守恒策略来恢复以前的日常活动。
