Abstract:
The epidemiology of the post viral fatigue syndrome was studied for the years 1985–86. With a strict definition of the syndrome, it was found that there were many misconceptions about this illness. The sex incidence was nearly equal with a similar pattern of twin peaks at 25–29 years and 40–45 years. At diagnosis, 56% were ill for three to six months and only 9% for more than two years. It is estimated that this syndrome is more common than infectious mononucleosis.

Abstract:
Post-viral fatigue syndrome (myalgic encephalomyelitis) is a physically debilitating disorder associated with chronic disabling fatigue. This thesis presents two studies which look at the impact of illness from a personal-psychological and from a family perspective. The first investigates the psychological features of the syndrome. The prevalence of psychiatric disorder in 20 patients with the PVFS was determined. Sixty percent satisfied criteria for a current psychiatric disorder. Diagnoses were of neurotic depression and other neuroses. Only 25 % of a comparatively disabled group of 20 arthritis sufferers received similar diagnoses. Diagnoses did not substantially differ in type from a group of 20 subjects with major depressive disorders, although selected differences in symptom profile and the role of previous life-time psychiatric episodes, suggest that the PVFS cannot be regarded as a variant form of depressive disorder. A logistic regression analysis achieved a satisfactory separation of the two disorders on the basis of psychiatric symptoms. The second study investigates 9 school-aged children with mothers suffering from the syndrome, and 9 children with healthy parents. The children in the PVFS group had been exposed to their mother's illness from between 18 months and 14 years. They were found to have significantly more problems in the school environment in comparison to controls, rated as more shy and anxious, less assertive and with more relationship problems with peers. General family orientation was less active with fewer out-of-home family pursuits. Family interactions were somewhat more negative. Child adjustment is discussed in terms of the linkages between family, school and peer-group in the lives of these children. Investigations into the adaptive potential of such linkages and the permeability of the boundaries between the spheres raise important questions for ameliorative work in the counselling of PVFS sufferers and their families.

Abstract:
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) är en komplex sjukdom av okänd etologi. ME/CFS syns inte på utsidan men leder till funktionsnedsättning i varierande grad. Okunskapen om sjukdomen är stor vilket leder till att många får diagnos i ett sent skede eller en felaktig diagnos. ME/CFS innebär en etisk utmaning för forskningen, samhället och inte minst för sjukvården, då evidens för både omvårdnad och behandling fortfarande saknas. Syftet var att undersöka personers erfarenheter av att leva med ME/CFS. I databearbetningen framkom tre kategorier: möte med vården, påverkan på vardagen samt anpassning till livssituationen. I resultatet påvisas erfarenheter från personer med ME/CFS och hur de upplever bemötandet med vården och den okunskap som råder. Det framkommer att sjukdomen påverkar identitet, relationer och aktivitetsförmåga. Resultatet visar även hur livet förändras samt vilka strategier som krävs för att hantera vardagen när förutsättningarna i livet förändras. För att möta omvårdnadsbehovet hos personer med ME/CFS krävs mer forskning och utbildning för vårdpersonal.
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex disease of unknown etiology. Although ME/CFS is not visible on the outside, it leads to disability in varying degrees. There is a lack of knowledge regarding the disease, which often leads to a delayed or incorrect diagnosis. ME/CFS represents an ethical challenge for research, society and especially for healthcare professionals since no evidence-based nursing or treatment are available. The aim was to investigate people’s experiences with ME/CFS. Three categories emerged in the data analysis: meeting with the health care, impact on daily life and adaption to the new life situation. The result shows experiences of people with ME/CFS and how they feel they are treated by the healthcare system and the lack of knowledge that exists. It appears that the disease affects identity, relationships and abilities in physical activity. The result also shows how life changes and what strategies are required to manage everyday life when the conditions in life change. To meet the nursing needs of people with ME/CFS, more research on the subject, as well as education for healthcare professionals, are necessary.

Abstract:
Background: Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a complex disease with unknown cause. It affects about 0.4 percent of the population. It is a chronic disease that manifests itself in an impairment fatigue that is impaired by physical exertion. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to illustrate how people diagnosed with ME/CFS experience the primary care treatment. Method: An empirical questionnaire with mixed method was used. Most questionnaires were quantitative, and one question was qualitative. Result: ME patients may wait several years and meet several doctors before they get their diagnosis. The result showed that most respondents felt that they did not receive good treatment in primary care. Conclusion: People with ME/CFS want to be treated with respect and want primary care to listen and take them seriously. In a partnership between the primary care and healthcare personnel, they could meet more equally, and the ME sufferers would not have to wait several years to meet several doctors before receiving the assistance and support they need in their illness. Clinical significance: New research on how healthcare professionals can help people with ME/CFS is needed. Research would also be needed on how the role of nurse could be extended to be a key part of primary care for people with ME/CFS.

Abstract:
Two subject groups, seven PPS (4 males, 3 females) and 15 normal controls (9 females, 6 males) were matched on the basis of age, height and weight and participated in this study. Three repeated measurements were conducted to evaluate the reliability of isokinetic measurement of strength (at 4 velocities) and fatigability (25 reciprocal contractions at 3.14 rads.s$ sp{-1}$). Data from two subsequent test days were used to evaluate the fatigue responses of the PPS subjects while ON or OFF pyridostigmine. Significant strength differences were seen between the two groups, however there was no observed difference in the rate of development of fatigue. Reliability of strength was demonstrated for the knee extensors and flexors of the PPS subjects after three consecutive test days. Fatigability of the knee extensors in PPS subjects could be tested reliably after three test days but more time would be required for reliable performance of the knee flexors. Reliability of strength and fatigability was seen for both the knee extensor and flexors of the normal controls after only two consecutive test days. A beneficial effect of the drug on fatigability was not seen in the three female PPS subjects, but was demonstrated in one male subject. The drug appeared to have a beneficial effect on strength in the remaining three male subjects.

Abstract:
Background Fatigue often occurs as long-term complication in chronically critically ill (CCI) patients after prolonged intensive care treatment. The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20) has been established as valid instrument to measure fatigue in a wide range of medical illnesses. Regarding the measurement of fatigue in CCI patients, the psychometric properties of the MFI-20 have not been investigated so far. Thus, the present study examines reliability and validity of the MFI-20 in CCI patients. Methods A convenience sample of n = 195 patients with Critical Illness Polyneuropathy (CIP) or Myopathy (CIM) were recruited via personal contact within four weeks (t1) following the transfer from acute care ICU to post-acute ICU at a large rehabilitation hospital. N = 113 (median age 61.1 yrs., 72.6% men) patients were again contacted via telephone three (t2) and six (t3) months following the transfer to post-acute ICU. The MFI-20, the Euro-Quality of Life (EQ-5D-3 L) and the Structured Clinical Interview for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental disorders DSM-IV (SCID-I) were applied within this prospective cohort study. Results The internal consistency Cronbach’s α was adequate for the MFI-total and all but the subscale Reduced Motivation (RM) (range: .50–.91). Item-to-total correlations (range: .22–.80) indicated item redundancy for the subscale RM. Confirmatory Factor analyses (CFAs) revealed poor model fit for the original 5-factor model of the MFI-20 (t2/t3, Confirmatory Fit Index, CFI = .783/ .834; Tucker-Lewis Index, TLI = .751/ .809; Root Mean Square Error of Approximation, RMSEA = .112/ .103). Among the alternative models (1-, 2-, 3-factor models), the data best fit to a 3-factor solution summarizing the highly correlated factors General −/ Physical Fatigue/ Reduced Activity (GF/ PF/ RA) (t2/ t3, CFI = .878/ .896, TLI = .846/ .869, RMSEA = .089/ .085, 90% Confidence Interval .073–.104/ .066–.104). The MFI-total score significantly correlated with the health-related quality of life (range: −.65-(−).66) and the diagnosis of major depression (range: .27–.37). Conclusions In the present sample of CCI patients, a reliable and valid factor structure of the MFI-20 could not be ascertained. Especially the subscale RM should be revised. Since the factors GF, PF and RA cannot be separated from each other and the unclear factorial structure in the present sample of CCI patients, the MFI-20 is not recommended for use in this context.

Abstract:
Inledning: Myalgisk encefalomyelit/kroniskt trötthetssyndrom (ME/CFS) kännetecknas som en inflammation i hjärna och ryggmärg och karakteriseras framför allt av ihållande utmattning. Sjukdomen är ingen kultursjukdom eller lokal företeelse utan den förekommer i diverse åldrar, länder och sociala grupper. Ansträngningsutlöst försämring (PEM) är ett kardinalsymtom för sjukdomen. PEM kännetecknas av en förvärring av symtom efter rörelse, ortostatisk eller neuromuskulär stress och/eller kognitiv aktivitet. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva upplevelsen och erfarenheten av ansträngningsutlöst försämring (PEM) hos personer med ME/CFS. Metod: En kvalitativ empirisk studie baserad på bloggar med deduktiv ansats. Livsvärldsteorin användes som en teoretisk referensram. Resultat: Resultatet visade att personer med ME/CFS beskrev PEM som en påfrestande och dramatisk upplevelse och att det krävdes ständiga anpassningar för att undvika försämringen. Situationen förvärrades ytterligare av ett bristfälligt och empatilöst bemötande inom sjukvården. Slutsats: På grund av känslighet för stimuli behöver varje handling gentemot personer med diagnosen ME/CFS reflekteras över huruvida den är till nytta eller till skada. För att förhindra PEM måste vården anpassas utifrån individuella ansträngningströsklar hos varje enskild person. Vidare forskning behövs om vilka förändringar som krävs för att säkerställa högkvalitativ omvårdnad.
Introduction: Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is characterized as inflammation of the brain and spinal cord and is characterized above all by persistent fatigue. The disease ME/CFS is not a cultural disease or a local phenomenon and It occurs in various ages, countries and social groups. PEM is characterized by an exacerbation of symptoms after movement, orthostatic or neuromuscular stress and / or cognitive activity. Purpose: The aim of this study was to describe the experiences and the perceptions of post-exertional malaise (PEM) in people with ME/CFS. Method: The study was a qualitative empirical study with a deductive approach based on blogs. Lifeworld was used as a theoretical framework. Result: The results showed that people with ME / CFS described PEM as a stressful and dramatic experience and that constant adjustments were required to avoid this deterioration. The situation was further aggravated by a deficient and unempathetic response in healthcare. Conclusion: Due to abnormal sensitivity to stimuli, each intervention for persons diagnosed with ME / CFS needs to be reflected on whether it is beneficial or harmful. To prevent PEM, healthcare must be adjusted based on the individual effort thresholds of each person. Further research is needed on what improvements are required to ensure high-quality nursing.

Abstract:
In some of the most established and supposedly immutable liberal democracies, diverse social groups are losing con fi dence not only in established democratic institutions, but in the idea of liberal representative democracy itself. Meanwhile, an illiberal and anti-egalitarian transformation of democracy evolves at an apparently unstoppable pace. This democratic fatigue syndrome , the present article suggests, is qualitatively di ff erent from the crises of Democracy which have been debated for some considerable time. Focusing on mature democracies underpinned by the ideational tradition of European Enlightenment, the article theorizes this Syndrome and the striking transformation of democracy in terms of a dialectic process in which the very norm that once gave birth to the democratic project - the modernist idea of the autonomous subject - metamorphoses into its gravedigger, or at least into the driver of its radical reformulation. The article further develops aspects of my existing work on second-order emancipation and simulative democracy . Taking a theoretical rather than empirical approach, it aims to provide a conceptual framework for more empirically oriented analyses of changing forms of political articulation and participation.

Abstract:
Cette recherche a pour sujet la fatigue de compassion chez les intervenants en santé mentale. Un groupe de spécialistes dans le traitement du Trouble de Stress Opérationnel a été consulté. Par le biais d'un questionnaire et d'entrevues, il a été démontré que 60 % des intervenants présentent un risque modéré de fatigue de compassion. Les entrevues ont été conduites dans le but de déterminer les pratiques de gestion de ressources humaines pouvant réduire le risque de fatigue de compassion. L'intensité avec laquelle un intervenant peut vivre de la fatigue de compassion est influencée par ses expériences personnelles et les caractéristiques de son environnement de travail. Cette recherche permet de conclure que le soutien offert par l'équipe de travail constitue la ligne de défense principale relativement à la fatigue de compassion. Il est aussi clairement démontré qu'il n'existe pas de solution unique à la fatigue de compassion. La gestion de carrière et les programmes de mentorat représentent des pistes de solutions organisationnelles. L'écoute des intervenants permettra à un employeur de gérer les attentes et en y répondant, de diminuer les risques imposés aux intervenants. ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : fatigue de compassion, pratiques de gestion de ressources humaines, trouble de stress opérationnel, stress post-traumatique.

Abstract:
Persistent medical symptoms following COVID-19 infection may be related to chronic organ damage or dysfunction, primarily documented in the lungs, heart, and brain. This is more common in patients with severe COVID and who were treated in intensive care units. The atypical acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) of COVID may lead to chronic pulmonary vascular disease and fibrosis. Myocarditis and cardiomyopathy may result in chronic cardiac disorders. Neurologic symptoms, including loss of taste and smell as well as mental and cognitive dysfunction, are common during acute COVID infection but may persist for months. In addition, 5%–10% of patients, including many with mild or moderate infection, report multiple unrelated symptoms lasting for months. These patients have been termed “long-haulers” or long-COVID syndrome and no significant laboratory or pathologic findings have been identified. The symptoms and clinical course are similar to chronic fatigue syndrome/benign myalgic encephalomyelitis and post-viral syndrome. In the general population, mental health issues have increased significantly, including depression and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and sleep disturbances.

Abstract:
Post-infection syndrome (PIS) or chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is a complex debilitating disorder. It is usually characterized by fatigue that is worsened by physical activity or mental exertion, and is experienced in the aftermath, or with ongoing concurrent infections. Other symptoms may also be present including myalgia, impaired concentration, impaired memory, insomnia, and post-exertion malaise that can last for more than twenty-four hours after exertion. PIS/ CFS is a complex disorder with symptoms related to cognitive, autonomous, and immune dysfunction. No single causal factor has been identified, but there is some evidence that indicates that immunological dysfunction and infections interacting with genetic and psychosocial factors probably contribute to the development of PIS/ CFS. There are no tests to diagnose PIS/ CFS. There are many conditions where the symptoms of PIS/ CFS can appear, and therefore diagnosing PIS/ CFS may rely on ruling out other conditions. There are published guidelines that are available in order to help with diagnosing these conditions. The most frequently used ones are from the CDC (the 1994 Fukuda criteria) and the 1991 Oxford criteria. The CDC case definition for CFS requires individuals to meet three criteria before receiving this diagnosis. These are: 1. Severe chronic fatigue which must have been present for six or more consecutive months, and not as a result of other medical conditions associated with fatigue. 2. Fatigue that interferes significantly with activities of daily life. 3. Four or more of the following symptoms are present: a. Post-exertion malaise that lasts for longer than twenty-four hours. b. Impairment of short-term memory. c. Myalgia. d. Unrefreshed sleep. e. Headache (of new type or severity). f. Arthralgia (without swelling or erythema around the joints). g. A frequent or recurring sore throat. h. Tender lymphadenopathy. However, the Oxford criteria differentiates CFS of unknown aetiology and CFS related to PIS, which is CFS that either follows an infection or is associated with an ongoing current infection. These guidelines suggest that in order to diagnose CFS, individuals must meet the following criteria: 1. The principle symptom experienced by patients should be fatigue that affects physical and mental functioning, and should have been present for at least six months.
