Resumen

 La fatiga es uno de los síntomas más frecuentes en
los individuos con enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica
(EPOC), pero su evaluación sigue siendo deficiente. Uno de los
principales instrumentos utilizados para medir la fatiga es la
Functional assessment of chronic illness therapy fatigue scale
(FACIT-F). Sin embargo, este instrumento aún no ha sido validado
para la población con EPOC en Brasil. En este contexto, el objetivo
de este estudio fue investigar la validez de la escala de fatiga
FACIT-F en individuos con EPOC. El estudio transversal evaluó
el impacto de los síntomas (COPD Assessment Test –CAT),
de la disnea (escala modificada del Consejo de Investigación
Médica –MRC), de la capacidad funcional (prueba de pasos de
seis minutos –6MST), de la fatiga de esfuerzo (escala modificada
de Borg al final de la 6MST) y de la escala FACIT-F para evaluar
la fatiga multidimensional. La validez concurrente se evaluó
asociando la escala con el CAT, y la validez convergente la asoció
con el número de pasos, la fatiga al esfuerzo percibida y la disnea.
La validez discriminante se evaluó comparando la fatiga con los
estratos de gravedad de la disnea. Se estudió a 92 participantes
(69,9±8,8 años, VEF1:48,4% del predicho). La FACIT-F tuvo una
puntuación media de 30,1±10,9, fuerte validez concurrente con el
CAT (r=-0,80), fuerte validez convergente con la disnea (r=-0,66)
y baja con la capacidad de ejercicio (r=0,40) y con la fatiga de
esfuerzo (r=-0,44). La FACIT-F fue eficaz para distinguir grupos
con diferentes intensidades de disnea, por lo que muestra ser
un instrumento válido para evaluar la fatiga en la población
brasileña con EPOC.
