摘要
导言疲劳是类风湿关节炎(RA)患者经常出现的症状。慢性疾病治疗功能评估-疲劳(FACIT-F)是一种评估自我报告疲劳的工具,已被验证可用于测量 RA 患者的疲劳。我们纳入了两家医院的 RA 患者(n = 192)。进行了探索性和确认性分析。结果FACIT-F显示出较高的内部一致性(Alpha = .87,Omega = .93)。主成分分析表明,只有一个因子可以解释 62% 的方差。确认性因子分析显示模型的拟合度令人满意。我们发现 FACIT-F、VAS 疲劳度(-.72 p-value<,001)和 BRAF-MDQ (-.81 p-value<.001)之间存在相关性。
Validation of FACIT-fatigue in Spanish-speaking patients with rheumatoid arthritis
Introduction
Fatigue is a frequent symptom in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The Functional Assessment of Chronic illnesses Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) is an instrument that assesses self-reported fatigue and was validated for measuring fatigue in RA.
Objective
The aim of this study was to validate the FACIT-F for use in Spanish-speaking RA patients.
Materials and methods
Cross-sectional, multicentre study. We included patients (n = 192) with RA diagnosis from two hospitals. Exploratory and confirmatory analyses were conducted. Construct validity and internal consistency were evaluated.
Results
FACIT-F showed high internal consistency (Alpha = .87, Omega = .93). Analysis of the main components showed a single factor, which explained 62% of the variance. The confirmatory factor analysis showed a satisfactory fit of the model. We found a correlation between FACIT–F, VAS fatigue (−.72 p-value <,001), and BRAF-MDQ (−.81 p-value <.001).
Conclusion
FACIT-F is a valid instrument with a high internal consistency for measuring fatigue in clinical practice and research in Spanish-speaking patients with RA.
