Health-related quality of life associated with fatigue, physical activity and activity pacing in adults with chronic conditions.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Fatigue and inactivity are linked to decreased health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in chronic conditions. A multidimensional approach to activity pacing may improve HRQoL by promoting physical activity (PA) and alleviating fatigue. Addressing fatigue across chronic conditions is crucial, especially when underlying causes are unknown. This study aimed to (1) examine associations between HRQoL, fatigue, pacing, risk of overactivity, PA, and self-regulation of PA in adults with chronic conditions and (2) examine if these associations differ across HRQoL domains: physical, social, emotional, and functional well-being.

Methods

Sixty-six adults with chronic conditions were recruited from UK fatigue clinics and the community. HRQoL, pacing, risk of overactivity, PA, a
