Abstract

Introduction

Fatigue is a frequent symptom in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The Functional Assessment of Chronic illnesses Therapy-Fatigue (FACIT-F) is an instrument that assesses self-reported fatigue and was validated for measuring fatigue in RA.

Objective

The aim of this study was to validate the FACIT-F for use in Spanish-speaking RA patients.

Materials and methods

Cross-sectional, multicentre study. We included patients (n = 192) with RA diagnosis from two hospitals. Exploratory and confirmatory analyses were conducted. Construct validity and internal consistency were evaluated.

Results

FACIT-F showed high internal consistency (alpha = .87, omega = .93). Analysis of the main components showed a single factor, which explained 62% of the variance. The confirmatory factor analysis showed a satisfactory fit of the model. We found a correlation between FACIT–F, VAS fatigue (-.72 P < .001), and BRAF-MDQ (-.81 P < .001).

Conclusion

FACIT-F is a valid instrument with a high internal consistency for measuring fatigue in clinical practice and research in Spanish-speaking patients with RA.

在一个患有类风湿性关节炎的西班牙语人口样本中验证FACIT疲劳量表

导言疲劳是类风湿性关节炎（RA）患者经常出现的症状。慢性疾病治疗功能评估--疲劳（FACIT-F）是一种评估自我报告疲劳的工具，已被验证可用于测量 RA 患者的疲劳。我们纳入了两家医院的 RA 患者（n = 192）。进行了探索性和确认性分析。结果FACIT-F显示出较高的内部一致性（α=.87，ω=.93）。主成分分析表明只有一个因子，解释了 62% 的方差。确认性因子分析显示模型的拟合度令人满意。我们发现 FACIT-F、VAS 疲劳度（-.72 P <.001）和 BRAF-MDQ （-.81 P <.001）之间存在相关性。

期刊介绍： The Colombian Journal of Rheumatology (Revista Colombiana de Reumatología) is the official organ of the Colombian Association of Rheumatology (Asociación Colombiana de Reumatología) and the Central American, Caribbean and Andean Association of Rheumatology (Asociación Centroamericana Caribe Andina de Reumatología) - ACCA. It was created in December 1993 with the purpose of disseminating scientific information derived from primary and secondary research and presenting cases coming from the practice of Rheumatology in Latin America. Since its foundation, the Journal has been characterized by its plurality with subjects of all rheumatic and osteomuscular pathologies, in the form of original articles, historical articles, economic evaluations, and articles of reflection and education in Medicine. It covers an extensive area of topics ranging from the broad spectrum of the clinical aspects of rheumatology and related areas in autoimmunity (both in pediatric and adult pathologies), to aspects of basic sciences. It is an academic tool for the different members of the academic and scientific community at their different levels of training, from undergraduate to post-doctoral degrees, managing to integrate all actors inter and trans disciplinarily. It is intended for rheumatologists, general internists, specialists in related areas, and general practitioners in the country and abroad. It has become an important space in the work of all rheumatologists from Central and South America.
