Brief Summary

Fatigue is an important and prevalent problem in older adults. The ratio of fatigue may rise in older adults who live in nursing homes/rest homes. In the literature, a few studies investigated the prevalence of fatigue, and there is no study explaining the associated factors. The aim of the present study is to investigate the prevalence of fatigue in rest home residents and to determine the associated variables with fatigue.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Fall Severity Scale (FSS)

    The FSS is the most frequently used scale among the unidimensional scales which have been developed to assess fatigue. The scale rates the fatigue with nine items, For each item, the patient is asked to grade the fatigue level between 1 and 7, where 1 indicates strong disagreement and 7 indicates strong agreement. A score of 28 or higher generally indicates presence of fatigue.
