Outline of Final Research Achievements

For the purpose of developing a fatigue scale for people with mental disabilities, valid responses were obtained from 529 people at day care facilities for people with mental disabilities nationwide.
Through exploratory factor analysis, the results were summarized into 31 items based on four factors: ``fatigue and sluggishness,'' ``decreased thinking ability,'' ``lack of vitality,'' and ``physical hardship.'' Confirmatory factor analysis showed no construct validity, with GFI=.833, AGFI=.807, and MSEA=.067. Cronbach's alpha coefficients were over .70 for all subscales and total scales, indicating reliability. The correlation between psychiatric fatigue and cumulative fatigue level was γ = .62 to .76, and the correlation with PS (performance status) was γ = .45 to .56, so criterion-related validity was secured.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

がん患者の倦怠感は信頼性・妥当性が検証されている尺度が存在し、生理学的要因、生化学的要因、行動上の要因の関連性が明らかにされているが、精神障がい者の場合は信頼性・妥当性が確保された倦怠感尺度は見当たらない。精神障がい者の倦怠感尺度の開発により、関連要因や介入方法の有用性の実証が期待できる。今回の研究は介入方法を検討する前段階としての基礎的研究として位置づくものである。
精神障がい者の倦怠感の様相を質問紙調査において数量的に証明することで、精神障がい者の主観的訴えを客観的にとらえることができ、スティグマ緩和の一助になり得る点で社会的意義があると考える。
