Abstract :
Through the utilization of the Goal Attainment
Theory, this clinical study was developed to monitor the
client’s Level of Adaptive Response to answer his selfimage problem due to obesity. Nursing Care Plans and a
Health Teaching Plan were formulated to be implemented
to the client for ten (10) consecutive days. In the
implementation phase, the progress of client’s adaptive
response and coping ability after each intervention were
documented, counterchecked by the Public Health
Midwife of the Barangay for authenticity and reliability,
and then evaluated using the evaluative scale of the level
of adaptive response as follows: 0 - 1.0 score as low; 1.1 -
2.0 as below average; 2.1 – 3.0 as average and 3.1 – 4.0 as
high.
Utilizing the Assessment Tool based on Imogene M.
King’s Goal Attainment Theory and the statistical mean
to determine the client’s level of adaptive response, the
findings were: In the Initial Assessment, the client
obtained a mean score of 2.5 thatshowed an Average Level
of Adaptive Response. Based from the identified priority
problems in the initial assessment, nursing interventions
were formulated. After the implementation of the nursing
interventions, the client obtained a mean score of 3.1 in
the Final Assessment that showed a High Level of
Adaptive Response. A mean difference of 0.6 was obtained
by the client that indicates an improvement in the Level
of Adaptive Response from Average to High.
Based on these findings, the study recommended for
the use of King’s Goal Attainment Theory in the nursing
process particularly in the care of obese clients as it is
effective in increasing the level of adaptive response,
hence, reducing the weight of the obese client. This study
is useful to nurses as it guides them in the care of clients
with self-image problem using the individualized
assessment tool of Imogene M. King’s Goal Attainmen
