Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine the rate of success in predicting successful collaborative goal setting. We conducted goal setting with 104 inpatients in an acute care hospital using ADOC. If the goal setting could not be completed, we asked the patients why and followed up in another session. The success rate with collaborative goal setting is as follows:first session 40%, until discharge 31%, and never 29%. The predictor of successful goal setting was >98 of FIM total scores, and unsuccessful was <13 of MMSE scores. The reason for the difficulty of goal setting was“lack of reasonable perception for their abilities” and “lack of prospects in future.”
