Abstract

Background: Sarcoidosis may seriously hamper patients' quality of life despite fairly good prognosis.

Objectives: To assess the relationship between the Big Five personality traits, chronotype and severity of fatigue symptoms, in the context of selected clinical variables and general mental health among patients with sarcoidosis.

Methods: The study group comprised 60 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of sarcoidosis. They were asked to share relevant clinical data and complete a set of questionnaires: Fatigue Asessment Scale (FAS), General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28), the NEO Five Factor Inventory and Composite Scale of Morningness.

Results: In linear regression analysis, FAS score was predicted by female sex, active sarcoidosis status, Morning Affect and Conscientiousness. In principal component analysis, FAS score and all GHQ-28 subscale scores (somatic symptoms, anxiety/insomnia, social dysfunction and depressive symptoms) formed a single component explaining 60% of variance. The factor loading for each variable exceeded 0.6.

Conclusions: The psychological burden appeared to rise with the severity of the fatigue, regardless the inactive/active phase of sarcoidosis. The severity of fatigue may be linked to patient's poor morning affect. The profile of psychological burden presented by the patients may be associated with their personality and clinical presentation of sarcoidosis.

时间型和大五人格特征作为结节病患者慢性疲劳的预测因子。横断面研究。

背景:结节病虽预后良好，但可能严重影响患者的生活质量。目的:评估结节病患者在特定临床变量和一般心理健康的背景下，大五人格特征、时型和疲劳症状严重程度之间的关系。方法:研究对象为60例结节病确诊患者。他们被要求分享相关临床资料，并完成一套调查问卷:疲劳评估量表(FAS)、一般健康问卷(GHQ-28)、NEO五因素量表和晨起综合量表。结果:在线性回归分析中，FAS评分与女性性别、活动性结节病状态、早晨效应和责任心有相关性。在主成分分析中，FAS评分和所有GHQ-28分量表评分(躯体症状、焦虑/失眠、社交功能障碍和抑郁症状)构成一个单一成分，解释了60%的方差。每个变量的因子负荷都超过0.6。结论:无论结节病的活动期还是非活动期，患者的心理负担均随疲劳程度的加重而增加。疲劳的严重程度可能与患者早晨的不良情绪有关。结节病患者的心理负担状况可能与他们的个性和结节病的临床表现有关。
