Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Energy Conservation plus Problem Solving Therapy

EC-PST is a client-centered intervention aiming to guide people with chronic fatigue to create their own solutions so that they can generalize those learned solutions and strategies to other fatigue-related problems even after completing the study participation. Some of the topics covered during the first two introductory sessions are facts regarding fatigue, budgeting and banking energy, and the introduction of EC+PST Intervention.

OTHER

Health Education Intervention

The interventionist will be the PI, an occupational therapist (co-I), or OT graduate student who will be trained in the health education topics. During the Health Education sessions, participants will be educated on health-related topics relevant to CHF and EC strategies, although they will not learn how to apply the information to their daily life. Health Education Workbook containing information on the topics taught during the sessions will be provided during the Pretest visit and used throughout the Health Education sessions.
