Effects of Energy Conservation and Time Management Training on Fatigue and Occupational Performance in Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis

Abstract

Purpose: Fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is the lack of physical and mental energy, defined by the individual's inability to complete routine activities. The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of energy conservation and time-management training on fatigue and occupational performance with MS. Material and Methods: Fatigue Severity Scale, Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS) and Canadian Occupational Performance Measure were done before and after the training. Individuals received 10 sessions of energy conservation and time-management training. Results: 15 individuals with a mean age of 39.66±10.92 years were included in the study. When the scores of before and after the training were compared, decreases were seen in terms of the fatigue severity (p=0.001), cognitive domain affected by fatigue (p=0.001), social area (p=0.003), physical area (p=0.001) and in total FIS (p=0.001). There was a significant increase in occupational performance (p<0.001) and satisfaction (p<0.001) of individuals. Discussion: Energy conservation and time-management training have been found to have positive effects on fatigue and occupational performance in individuals with MS. So, it would be beneficial to include energy conservation and time-management training in intervention programs for MS. There is a need for controlled follow-up studies with larger sample groups
