Analysis of the Current Status of Fatigue and Its Related Factors in Patients with Uremia
Objective To analyze the current status of fatigue in uremic patients and its related factors.Methods A total of 103 uremic patients admitted to Chongren County People's Hospital from August 2020 to August 2023 were selected for the study;a self-administered questionnaire was used to collect general information about the patients;the Revised Piper Fatigue Scale(RPFS)was used to assess the current status of the patients'fatigue;the Self-perceived Burden Scale(SPBS)was used to assess the self-perceived burden of the patients.The RPFS scores of ure-mic patients with different characteristics were compared and the factors influencing the RPFS scores were analyzed using multiple linear regression.Results The RPFS scores of 103 uremic pa-tients were registered as 158.64±10.25.The difference in RPFS scores of uremic patients with dif-ferent per capita monthly family income,dialysis duration,dialysis complications,and self-per-ceived burden was statistically significant when compared(P<0.001).Multiple linear regression analysis suggested that low per capita monthly family income,long duration of dialysis,concomi-tant dialysis complications,and heavy self-perceived burden were the main factors causing fatigue in uremic patients(P<0.001).Conclusion Fatigue is higher among uremic patients and low per capita monthly household income,long duration of dialysis,concomitant dialysis complications,and heavy self-perceived burden might be the main contributing factors.
