“…It possible that complaints of fatigue are simply due to co-existing depression which affects approximately 20% of IBS patients (Blanchard, 2000). If so, then the magnitude of the observed relationship between fatigue and depression (Asare et al, 2012) may reflect the degree of statistical overlap (i.e., multicollinearity) between the items used to measure both constructs and not a clinically meaningful phenomenon. Multicollinearity is an important but often overlooked methodological issue that arises when two (or more) related variables provide redundant information; that is, constructs are described as conceptually different but tap the same underlying variable.…”

The objective of this study was to assess the level, impact, and predictors of fatigue in patients with moderate to severe irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). One hundred seventy five patients meeting Rome III criteria for IBS completed a variety of measures including the vitality scale of the SF-12, IBS-Symptom Severity Scale, IBS-QOL, Brief Symptom Inventory-18, Screening for Somatoform Symptoms (SOMS-7), and a semi structured clinical interview (IBS-PRO) as part of a pretreatment evaluation of an NIH funded clinical trial of cognitive behavior therapy for IBS. Fatigue was the third most common somatic complaint, reported by 61% of the patients. Levels of fatigue were associated with both somatic (more severe IBS symptoms, greater number of unexplained medical symptoms), behavioral (frequency of restorative experiences) and psychological (e.g., trait anxiety, depression) outcomes after holding constant confounding variables. The final model in multiple regression analyses accounted for 41.6% of the variance in self-reported fatigue scores with significant predictors including anxiety sensitivity, perceived stress, IBS symptom severity, restorative activities and depression. The clinical implications of data as they relate to both IBS and CBT in general are discussed in the context of attention restoration theory.

“…Nurses in gastroenterological practice need to be cognizant of the impact of abdominal pain on other symptoms such as fatigue that combined result in reduced quality of life and interference with work or school. Clinicians should also assess and manage other factors serve as triggers (e.g., stress, poor sleep) for fatigue in IBS (Asare et al, 2012). Our findings lead to a potential intervention opportunity to manage fatigue.…”

Relationships Between Abdominal Pain and Fatigue With Psychological Distress as a Mediator in Women With Irritable Bowel Syndrome

Women with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) often report fatigue, along with abdominal pain and psychological distress (i.e., depression and anxiety). There is little information about the relationships among these symptoms. Using a secondary data analysis (N = 356), we examined the relationship between abdominal pain and fatigue; and whether psychological distress mediates the effect of abdominal pain on fatigue both across-women and within-woman with IBS. Data gathered through a 28-day diary were analyzed with linear regressions. The across-women and within-woman relationships among same-day abdominal pain, fatigue and psychological distress were examined. Within-woman relationships were also examined for directionality among symptoms (i.e., prior-day abdominal pain predicts next-day fatigue, prior-day fatigue predicts next-day abdominal pain). In across-women and within-woman analyses on the same-day, abdominal pain and fatigue were positively correlated. In within-woman analyses, abdominal pain predicted next-day fatigue, but fatigue did not predict next-day pain. In across-women and withinwoman analyses, psychological distress partially mediated the effects of abdominal pain on fatigue. Symptom management incorporating strategies to decrease both abdominal pain and psychological distress are likely to reduce fatigue. Nursing interventions, such as self-management skills to reduce abdominal pain and psychological distress, may have the added benefit of reducing fatigue in IBS.
