Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of energy conservation education on fatigueand occupational performance in individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Material and Methods: The studyincluded 4 individuals with MS. Energy conservation education was given in a total of 8 sessions, 2 sessionsper week for 4 weeks. The Canadian Occupational Performance Measure was used for determining activityperformance. Fatigue Impact Scale and Fatigue Severity Scale were used for assessing fatigue. Scales wereused again at the end of the 8 sessions and examined the effectiveness of the education. Results: There wasno statistically significant difference between the first and last measurement in the results of our study , reductionin fatigue scores, and increase in activity performance and satisfaction. Conclusion: Fatigue is a very commonsymptom that affects the whole life of an individual in MS and can affect the implementation of treatmentprograms negatively. Postive effects of energy conservation education on fatigue, occupational performanceand satisfaction in individuals with MS was seen in this study. Therefore, it would be useful to include energyconservation education while MS treatment programs are planned. There is a need for controlled and longtermfollow-up studies involving larger sample groups
