摘要：One aspect of improving behavior change in individuals is to create realistic goals. Health coaches assist in the development of attainable goals and improve self-efficacy in clients in order to promote behavior change. In order to know if the health coaching program is effective, goal achievement and the effectiveness of the program must be evaluated. Are goals for the client too hard or unachievable? Are goals for the client too easy and not challenging the client enough? These are factors that could affect behavior change. Therefore, it is important to incorporate an evaluation process for the health coaching program. By incorporating the mechanisms of the Goal Attainment Scale (a standardized process traditionally incorporating three goals), health coaches may have a standardized approach in evaluating the program as well as individual client improvement, which would in turn, lead to more successful health coaching programs. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to provide a rational for utilizing the Goal Attainment Scale in health coaching programs to achieve program and client success regardless of the number of goals set for clients.
