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
