Effect analysis of fatigue on self-perceived burden in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Objective To investigate the relationship between self-perceived burden and fatigue in pa-tients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD),and to provide reference for reducing the self-per-ceived burden in patients with COPD.Methods A total of 204 COPD patients admitted to a tertiary hospital in Hengyang city,Hunan province from November 2021 to April 2022 were selected as investigation objects by convenience sampling method.General data questionnaire,Manchester COPD Fatigue Scale and Self-perceived Burden Scale were used to collect data,and the status of fatigue and self-perceived burden of COPD patients were investigated.The effect of fatigue on self-perceived burden was analyzed.Results A total of 200 valid questionnaires were collected,with an effective recovery rate of 98.0%.The total score of fatigue was(24.25± 7.79)points,the total score of perceived burden was(28.45±6.89)points,and fatigue was positively correlated with perceived burden(r=0.779,P<0.001).The calibration coefficient R2 of the self-perceived burden model was 79.5%,and the marginal contribution of the total fatigue score to the goodness of fit R2was 21.5%,which was the most important factor affecting the self-perceived burden score,factigue had a positive effect on self-perceived burden.Conclusion Fatigue in patients with COPD is closely related to perceived burden.Therefore,attention should be paid attention to fatigue in clinical work,and effective means such as lung reha-bilitation can be used to to improve fatigue,reduce patients'perceived burden,and enhance their happiness.
