“…3 Fragen boten die Möglichkeit, einen ergänzenden Freitext einzufügen, was jedoch nur einmal zur Nennung weiterer persönlicher Symptome genutzt wurde. Bei der Konzeption des Fragebogens wurde ein 18 Item-Fatigue-Fragebogen aus der pädiatrischen Onkologie mit den Begrifflichkeiten „seit der Infektion“ und „COVID-19“ modifiziert und durch neue Fragen ergänzt 8 . Die Antwortkategorien waren ordinalskaliert und boten den Befragten die Möglichkeit, sich zwischen „nie“, „fast nie“, „manchmal“, „häufig“ und „fast immer“ zu entscheiden.…”

Kernaussagen Unter der hypothetisch-deduktiven Annahme, dass Studierende, die eine COVID-19-Infektion überstanden haben, an Fatigue als Spätfolge leiden, wurde ihre subjektive Leistungs- und Konzentrationsfähigkeit erfragt. Bezüglich der Erholung, des Schlafverhaltens sowie zu Konzentration und Merkfähigkeit gaben 6–8 von 14 Teilnehmenden (43–57 %) an, häufig unter Problemen zu leiden. 9 von 14 Teilnehmenden (64 %) gaben an, sich manchmal oder häufig körperlich schwach zu fühlen. Aufgrund dieser Datenlage kann Fatigue als Post-COVID-Symptom bei Hochschulstudierenden angenommen werden.

“…15,40 The PedsQL MFS does include a valid and reliable subscale specific to cognitive fatigue. 34 Of the studies with available comparisons between fatigue dimensions (ie, general, sleep/rest, and cognitive), 5 studies 3,28,30,31,33 found that cognitive fatigue was the dimension with the worst ratings. Three studies 25,26,29 found mixed results (ie, cognitive fatigue was worse than some and better than other dimensions).…”

To review the evidence available on cognitive fatigue (ie, increase in mental exhaustion after prolonged cognitive activity) in childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI), including rates, associated factors and effects, and management strategies. Methods: A meta-analysis and scoping review of the literature were conducted following the PRISMA guidelines. Terms were searched in relevant databases and through hand-searching. Articles were included and excluded based on specific criteria and methods were evaluated for risk of bias. Results: Of 2579 initially eligible articles, 4 studies with 6 effect sizes (due to reporting of data by group in 2 studies) were included for a meta-analysis and 11 for a scoping review. Cognitive fatigue was a common symptom in children after TBI of varying severities and times post-injury. Few studies investigated factors or effects associated with cognitive fatigue, although emerging evidence indicates some relations with family and injury factors and postinjury functioning. Active rehabilitation was investigated by 2 studies and could be a safe management strategy for cognitive fatigue, but additional investigation is needed on this and other possible assessment and treatment approaches. Conclusions: Cognitive fatigue is a common symptom in children who experience a TBI of any severity. Additional research is needed to determine the course of cognitive fatigue, elucidate the relations between cognitive fatigue and secondary factors, and to build clinically useful assessment and treatment methods.

“…Children completed the Swedish version of the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 core scales (PedsQL) (Petersen et al, 2009a), which is an instrument for assessing generic healthrelated quality of life (HRQoL) in children and adolescents (Varni et al, 1999(Varni et al, , 2001. The psychometric properties of the PedsQL are well established and it has been used in both healthy children and children with chronic conditions (Varni et al, 2001(Varni et al, , 2002(Varni et al, , 2003Gold et al, 2009a), including children and adolescents with chronic pain (Connelly and Rapoff, 2006;Youssef et al, 2006;Gold et al, 2009a). The PedsQL child self-report comes in two developmentally appropriate versions, according to child age: 8-12 and 13-18 years, and due to the age range in the present sample both versions were used.…”

Autistic Traits and Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms Associated With Greater Pain Interference and Depression, and Reduced Health-Related Quality of Life in Children With Chronic Pain

et al. 2021

Previous research indicates elevated levels of clinically significant traits and symptoms of autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children with chronic pain, but associations with functioning and depression are yet unclear. The current study examined the relationships of autistic traits and ADHD symptoms with pain interference, depression, and health-related quality of life, as well as the mediating roles of insomnia and psychological inflexibility, in children with chronic pain (n = 146, 8–17 years, 102 girls) presenting at a tertiary pain clinic. Children completed measures of pain intensity, depression, pain interference, health-related quality of life, insomnia, and psychological inflexibility. Parents (n = 146, 111 mothers) completed measures to assess autistic traits and ADHD symptoms in their children. Children with clinically significant autistic traits and ADHD symptoms presented with significantly higher levels of depressive symptoms and pain interference, and significantly lower health-related quality of life, than did the other children. Autistic traits and ADHD symptoms contributed significantly to the prediction of pain interference and depressive symptoms, as well as health-related quality of life. Psychological inflexibility mediated the relationships between ADHD symptoms and autistic traits on the one hand and depression, pain interference, and health-related quality of life on the other, while insomnia mediated the relationships between ADHD symptoms and depression, pain interference, and health-related quality of life. All analyses were adjusted for demographics and pain intensity. Results suggest the utility of screening for neurodevelopmental disorders in children with chronic pain. Furthermore, the findings may indicate insomnia and skills related to psychological flexibility as potential treatment targets in interventions aiming at improving functioning and health-related quality of life in children with chronic pain and co-occurring symptoms of neurodevelopmental disorders.
