Abstract:
Objective:To explore the current status and influencing factors of fatigue in patients with Cushing syndrome in China, so as to provide a basis for clinical interventions.Methods:Convenience sampling was used to select 260 inpatients with Cushing syndrome who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria in 9 ClassⅢ Grade A hospitals within the 7 geographic subregions of China from February to April 2023 for the study. General Information Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory-20, Barthel Index, and Self-Rating Depression Scale were used for the survey.Results:A total of 260 questionnaires were distributed and 241 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 92.7% (241/260). The MFI-20 score of 241 patients with Cushing syndrome was 58.00 (46.00, 64.00). 65.1% (157/241) of patients with Cushing syndrome suffered from fatigue, and 73.2% (115/157) of patients with fatigue exhibited multidimensional fatigue. Univariate analysis showed that there were statistically significant differences in fatigue scores among patients with Cushing syndrome with different cultural levels, recurrence frequency, activity of daily living, hypertension, and depression ( P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that depression was a risk factor for fatigue in patients with Cushing syndrome, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05) . Conclusions:Fatigue in patients with Cushing syndrome needs attention. Medical and nursing staff should pay close attention to the psychological status of patients with Cushing syndrome, encourage them to actively cope, alleviate their depression, in order to improve their fatigue.
