Influencing factors of mental fatigue in patients with stroke / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the influencing factors of mental fatigue in patients with cere-bral apoplexy. Methods Using a hospital-based case-control method,total 358 patients with cerebral apo-plexy from Tangshan Gong Ren Hospital were recruited from October 2016 to May 2017. A total of 175 sub-jects were fatigue group(MFS≥10. 5),the remaining 183 individuals were non-fatigue group (MFS<10. 5). All the patients with stroke were investigated with MFS,MMSE,SAS,SDS and homemade general scale. Re-sults The total MFS score(17. 68±5. 06)vs(5. 70±2. 15) and dimensions score of fatigue perception(6. 86 ±2. 17)vs(2. 12±1. 15),cognition fatigue(3. 58±1. 54)vs(1. 12±0. 93),increased sensitivity(5. 90±2. 05) vs(1. 95±1. 20),changes of sleep(1. 35±0. 82)vs(0. 51±0. 62) in the fatigue group were higher than those of the non-fatigue group,total score. Multivariate Logistic regression showed that income below expenditure (β=0. 608,OR=1. 836,95%CI=1. 037-3. 252),cognitive dysfunction (β=1. 886,OR=6. 594,95%CI=3. 276-13. 275),mild anxiety(β=0. 770,OR=2. 160,95%CI=1. 069-4. 364),moderate anxiety(β=1. 157, OR=3. 181,95%CI=1. 230-8. 228),severe anxiety (β=1. 295,OR=3. 651,95%CI=1. 096-12. 160),mod-erate and severe depression (β=1. 318,OR=3. 738,95%CI=1. 318-10. 602) were the influencing factors of mental fatigue in stroke patients. Conclusion Income below expenditure,cognitive dysfunction,mild anxie-ty,moderate anxiety,severe anxiety,moderate and severe depression are the potential risk factors of mental fatigue in stroke patients.
