This study explores current experience with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and other variables (sociodemographic, mental distress, somatic morbidity, self-rated health, and quality of life [QoL]) in relation to fatigue. A representative sample of the Norwegian population (N = 3,944) was invited to participate in a mailed survey, and 1,857 (47%) returned valid responses on the questionnaire that included the Fatigue Severity Scale and the Posttraumatic Symptom Scale-10. Posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms showed a strong association with fatigue in univariate (β = .41) and multivariate analyses (β = .33). Associations between psychosocial health variables, QoL, and fatigue were confirmed. However, PTSD symptoms showed the strongest association with fatigue in the analyses. Findings need to be replicated in other population samples and in clinical samples with PTSD and fatigue.
本研究探讨了当前与创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）症状和其他变量（社会人口统计学、精神困扰、躯体发病率、自我评估健康状况和生活质量[QoL]）相关的疲劳体验。邀请了挪威代表性人群（N=3944）参与邮寄调查，其中有 1857 人（47%）对包含疲劳严重程度量表和创伤后症状量表-10 的问卷做出了有效回复。在单变量（β=0.41）和多变量分析（β=0.33）中，创伤后应激障碍症状与疲劳之间存在很强的关联。心理社会健康变量、生活质量和疲劳之间的关联得到了确认。然而，在分析中，创伤后应激障碍症状与疲劳之间的关联最为强烈。研究结果需要在其他人群样本和患有创伤后应激障碍和疲劳的临床样本中进行复制。
