Survey on fatigue and systemic exertion intolerance disease among personnel from special operations force
To investigate the fatigue status and occurrence of systemic exertion intolerance disease (SEID) in soldiers from a unit of special operations force.
Methods
2
A total of 260 officers and soldiers from a SPF unit were selected in June 2018
and surveyed for fatigue level with multidimensional fatigue inventory 20 (MFI-20). According to the SEID diagnostic criteria recommended by the Institute of Medicine (IOM) in 2015
the occurrence and influencing factors of SEID were assessed using a questionnaire.
Results
2
The total score of MFI of the participants was 54.49±11.13
and the scores of general fatigue
physical fatigue
reduced activity
reduced motivation and mental fatigue were 13.63±3.48
11.75±3.48
9.72±2.33
9.00±2.52 and 10.39±3.74
respectively. About 34.27% of the participants suffered from deep fatigue for longer than half a year. The incidences of SEID-related symptoms were 76.00% for unrefreshing sleep
71.54% for substantial reduction or impairment in the ability
46.18% for cognitive impairment
26.52% for orthostatic intolerance and 22.09% for post-exertional malaise in order. According to the diagnostic criteria recommended by IOM
the incidence of SEID was 12.61%. The daily training time was closely correlated to fatigue level (
r
=0.223
P
<
0.01) and SEID incidence (
P
=0.039). There were no differences in fatigue score and SEID incidence among the participants of different durations of military service
posts and other factors.
Conclusion
2
The fatigue score and incidence of SEID are quite high in the participants. The daily training time is closely correlated to fatigue level and SEID incidence.
