ABSTRACT
Objective To describe the status of fatigue and its influencing factors among hypertension patients. Methods A total of 1253 hypertension patients were investigated with global fatigue severity subscale,family APGAR index and self-designed questionnaire. Results 36.7% of hypertension patients were fatigue.Univariate analysis showed that the determinants of fatigue among hypertension patients included older, normal marriage, rural, low educational, mental, family dysfunction (P ＜ 0.05 ). Multivariate analysis revealed that age ( OR =2. 612,95% CI = 2. 047 ～ 3. 333 ), normal marriage ( OR = 1. 754,95% CI = 1. 259 ～ 2. 445 ), manual ( OR =0.810,95 % CI = 0.698 ～ 0.939) and family dysfunction ( OR = 1.717,95 % CI = 1. 396 ～ 2.111 ) were associated with fatigue. Conclusion The rate of status is high in the hypertension patients. The behavior is related to age,marital status, labor type and family function.
