A Pilot study of Cognitive Behavioral Stress Management Effects on Stress Quality of life and Symptoms in Persons with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

摘要

OBJECTIVEThe present pilot study was designed to test the effects of a 12 week group-based Cognitive Behavioral Stress Management (CBSM) intervention on stress, quality of life, and symptoms in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). We hypothesized that participants randomized to CBSM would report improvements in perceived stress, mood, quality of life, and CFS symptomatology from pre-to-post intervention compared to those receiving a psychoeducational (PE) seminar control.
