Sažetak
Introduction/Objectives: Tiredness, or rather fatigue, is described in literature as a reduced ability to work with mental or psychological activity. However, the very term patients describe with a much wider range of symptoms such as tiredness and need for rest, drowsiness, weakness and is often considered as worsening of the disease symptoms. Fatigue is a multifactorial phenomenon in MS that can be present to a greater or lesser extent in a patient. Research /Objective:Examine the presence of fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis. Participants, Materials/Methods: The general questionnaire consisted of demographic questions and patient selfreported quality of life. The study was conducted at KBC Osijek at the Neurology Clinic for Multiple Sclerosis. As a Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) study tool for assessment of fatigue. Sleep quality was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory (PSQI) and Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACS). Results: Out of a total of 81 respondents, slightly more than half were females (57). The mean age of respondents was 42.2 years (≠ 12.4) and the average duration of MS was 9.9 years (≠ 7.9). Most of the respondents were employed (30, 37%). Out of the total number of respondents, 56 (69.1%) receive some therapy. There are no significant differences in sleepiness and therapy (p = 0.507), nor in the presence of fatigue in relation to the use or non-therapy (p = 0.270). Fatigue is more pronounced in subjects older than 40 (p = 0.001), in women (p = 0.039) and inn on-working (p = 0.001). Fatigue is less pronounced that patients with MS suffer shortly. Conclusions: Regardless of the level of fatigue and the range of symptoms of the disease, fatigue has been shown to be more or less presenting a large number of patients suffering from MS. Through the study, it was confirmed that fatigue affects the functional condition of the patient, ie the fatigue is less pronounced as the functional condition of the patient is better.
