Abstract

Background: Fatigue is one of the common symptoms in patients with chronic medical conditions like kidney failure that require hemodialysis. It is also associated with bad quality of life. Therefore, it is crucial to evaluate it using tools like Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS). Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the translated FSS. Methods: FSS was performed on 41 chronic kidney patients undergoing dialysis. The FSS used in the study was translated from English to Bahasa Indonesia by the team. The questionnaire was assessed for its reliability and validity using Cronbach’s Alpha (CA) and Pearson Validity Test, respectively. Reliability for each item was also evaluated using the corrected item-total correlation. The scale is reliable if its CA value >0.6 and valid if the r-value is higher than the expected r on Pearson's table. Results: The scale was perceived as reliable based on the CA values from both respondent groups: 0.968 for HD and 0.952 for the CAPD group. All nine items were also deemed reliable based on the corrected item-total correlation score. Based on both r and Sig values, the translated FSS was valid for all groups: r>0.433 for HD, r>0.444 for CAPD, and Sig value <0.05. Conclusion: The translated FSS is valid and reliable, hinting at its ability to be utilized in assessing fatigue in chronic kidney patients on dialysis

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a growing global health concern, strongly associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular diseases. Recognizing the key risk factors is essential for early detection and prevention. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to examine patient profiles and identify the primary contributing factors to NAFLD. METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted in the Gastroenterohepatology Division of Dr. Saiful Anwar Hospital, Malang, from May to October 2022. A total of 31 patients diagnosed with NAFLD based on abdominal ultrasound findings were included. Data were collected through medical history assessments, physical examinations, laboratory tests, and transient elastography. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed using SPSS 25 software. RESULTS: The findings revealed that age (p = 0.029), body mass index (BMI) ≥23 kg/m² (p < 0.001), abdominal circumference exceeding normal limits (p < 0.001), and dyslipidemia (p < 0.001) were significantly associated with NAFLD. However, blood pressure, gender, fasting blood sugar, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) did not exhibit significant associations (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION: The study identified age, obesity, abdominal circumference, and dyslipidemia as the main contributing factors to NAFLD. Early detection and targeted intervention for metabolic risk factors are crucial in preventing disease progression.
