Abstract
Kinesiophobia is related with adverse outcomes in various diseases, but it has not been studied in chronic heart failure (CHF). Fatigue often causes movement avoidance in CHF patients, and thereby, leads to a worsening of condition and increasing severity of symptom burden. The purpose of this study was to explore kinesiophobia and its related factors and the relationship between the kinesiophobia and fatigue in CHF patients. We recruited (n = 236) inpatients with CHF from October 2020 to March 2021 and administered a self-designed demographic questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia Heart (TSK-Heart-C), and the Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20), and collected related electronic medical record data. Findings revealed that 63% of participants had kinesiophobia. was a moderate correlation between fatigue and kinesiophobia ( r = .49, p < .01). Educational background, monthly family income, disease course, and fatigue explained 41% of the variance in kinesiophobia, of which fatigue independently accounted for 9%.
