Research abstract:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n

This study aimed to explore the experience of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) aimed at better management of chronic fatigue syndrome\/myalgic encephalomyelitis (CFS\/ME), rather than increasing activity.<\/p>\n

Design<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was a qualitative study using grounded theory analysis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Methods<\/strong><\/p>\n

Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 adults who had engaged in CBT at a specialist CFS\/ME service in which CBT is aimed at improved management of the condition.<\/p>\n

\"\"Results<\/strong><\/p>\n

A model was produced in which participants felt more able to cope with CFS\/ME. Reduced fatigue did not seem to be a necessary precondition to managing. This has implications for CBT for CFS\/ME.<\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Specialist CBT for CFS\/ME may result in improved coping and reduced distress, independently of changes in fatigue.<\/p>\n

I don’t think in any way it helped my ME, but it did help my mind. (Sarah)<\/p>\n

I don’t want to say reduced the symptoms, but probably have slightly fewer relapses and maintain a slightly better level quality of life. (Susan)<\/p>\n

I came away just with that re-focus on putting myself first and not being afraid to do that actually, it is okay to do that when you are not well. (Sarah)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
