Previous studies have shown that health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adolescents living with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME) is low if compared with healthy adolescents and adolescents living with other chronic diseases. Effective strategies to improve HRQoL in this group are still lacking. Recently we have observed HRQoL in a group of Norwegian adolescents with CFS/ME (not yet published), which is the background for a new study where we have planned an intervention with health promoting dialogues between patient and nurse, as a strategy to improve HRQoL. In this study we have also opened to include adolescents with other chronic fatigue diagnosis with similar challenges in follow-up as in CFS/ME.
