Abstract
Goal setting was the cornerstone of a rehabilitation program for people with chronic fatigue syndrome. This study examines the relationship between goal attainment and quality of life. Participants (N = 47) set goals over eight supportive and educational group sessions. Group members reported goal progress and confidence level for goal attainment. Using a forward, stepwise linear regression analysis, goal attainment emerged as the only significant predictor of quality of life improvement (B = 0.234, 95% CI for B: 0.050 to 0.419, SE = 0.091, β = 0.372, p <. 05) independently of fatigue severity, symptom severity, and comorbid psychiatric diagnosis.
