Medical - Psychology / tinnitus paper
German term or phrase: Handlungsplanungskompetenz
"Personen mit hohen Werten fuer Handlungsplanungskompetenz lassen sich in Situationen, in denen der Tinnitus sie besonders plagt, nicht aus dem Konzept bringen, sondern orientieren sich weiter an ihrem handlungsplan."
The word refers to a specific value as measured by tinnitus coping questionnaires. So far, I've used "competence to plan actions" but that doesn't sound very good, i think.
