The complaint of fatigue is common in community, primary care, and psychiatric settings. Fatigue is often associated with depression and psychosocial stress. This report investigated the role of alexithymia and depression in fatigue as reported in a sample of 151 psychiatric outpatients (75 men and 76 women) who completed all scales. The mean age of the sample was 45.5 yr. (SD= 12.5), and mean education was 16.2 yr. (SD=2.4). Fatigue was inversely correlated with education (-.16) and positively correlated with depression (.44), anxiety (.30), and alexithymia (.35). However, in a multivariate regression analysis, only depression and alexithymia remained significant (p < or = .01).
疲劳主诉在社区、初级保健和精神科环境中很常见。疲劳常与抑郁和心理社会压力相关。本报告调查了述情障碍和抑郁在151名完成所有量表的精神科门诊患者(75名男性和76名女性)样本中报告的疲劳中的作用。样本的平均年龄为45.5岁(标准差 = 12.5),平均受教育年限为16.2年(标准差 = 2.4)。疲劳与受教育程度呈负相关(-0.16),与抑郁(0.44)、焦虑(0.30)和述情障碍(0.35)呈正相关。然而,在多变量回归分析中,只有抑郁和述情障碍仍然具有显著性(p≤0.01)。
