This descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out to investigate the relationship between fatigue, and sleep quality, pain and depression in patients with knee osteoarthritis.
A cross-sectional, correlational design was used. The study sample comprised 151 individuals with knee osteoarthritis and 147 healthy individuals. To collect the study data, the Sociodemographic Characteristics Questionnaire (SCQ), Visual Analogue Scale to Evaluate Fatigue Severity (VAS-F), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Visual Analogue Scale and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) were used. To analyze the study data, appropriate tests were used.
It was found that the patients with knee osteoarthritis had higher fatigue scores, and higher PSQI and BDI total scores than did the healthy participants, and that the difference between them was significant (p<0.05). There was a positive correlation between fatigue score and PSQI, VAS and BDI scores (p<0.05).
The participants with knee osteoarthritis suffered fatigue more than did the healthy participants. This fatigue suffered by them affected their sleep quality, pain and depression negatively.
开展此项描述性横断面研究，以调查膝关节骨关节炎患者疲劳与睡眠质量、疼痛及抑郁之间的关系。
采用横断面相关性设计。研究样本包括151名膝关节骨关节炎患者和147名健康个体。为收集研究数据，使用了社会人口学特征问卷（SCQ）、疲劳严重程度视觉模拟量表（VAS-F）、匹兹堡睡眠质量指数（PSQI）、视觉模拟量表和贝克抑郁量表（BDI）。采用适当的检验方法对研究数据进行分析。
发现膝关节骨关节炎患者的疲劳得分、PSQI总分和BDI总分均高于健康参与者，且差异具有统计学意义（p<0.05）。疲劳得分与PSQI、VAS和BDI得分之间存在正相关（p<0.05）。
膝关节骨关节炎患者比健康参与者更容易感到疲劳。他们所遭受的这种疲劳对其睡眠质量、疼痛和抑郁产生了负面影响。
