Fatigue sensitivity, or the misattribution that fatigue symptoms will lead to negative personal consequences, is one individual difference factor related to adverse behavioral health consequences.
The current study investigated whether fatigue sensitivity was related to panic symptoms, depression, as well as fatigue severity among 166 persons of diverse racial/ethnic backgrounds with severe fatigue.
As hypothesized, fatigue sensitivity was statistically significantly related to greater panic symptoms, general depression, and fatigue severity. These results were evident over the variance explained by age, sex, neuroticism, and somatic symptoms.
This work is the first to evaluate fatigue sensitivity in terms of behavioral health outcomes among a racial/ethnically diverse sample with severe fatigue.
疲劳敏感性,即认为疲劳症状会导致负面个人后果的错误认知,是一个与不良行为健康后果相关的个体差异因素。
本研究调查了166名患有严重疲劳的不同种族/族裔背景的人,疲劳敏感性是否与惊恐症状、抑郁以及疲劳严重程度有关。
如假设的那样,疲劳敏感性在统计学上与更严重的惊恐症状、总体抑郁和疲劳严重程度显著相关。这些结果在由年龄、性别、神经质和躯体症状所解释的方差之上很明显。
这项研究首次在患有严重疲劳的种族/族裔多样化样本中,根据行为健康结果评估了疲劳敏感性。
