The respiratory domain from Global Body Examination: intra-rater reliability and correlation with self-reported severity of symptoms in Stress-Related Exhaustion (English)
Abstract [en]

Background: Stress-Related Exhaustion (SE) has increased in the last 10 years. Examination is key for good care, but research on body examinations for SE is lacking. Clinically, autonomic stress response with affected respiratory patterns can be observed in SE.  Global Body Examination (GBE) can be used to evaluate autonomic stress responses. GBE has a respiratory domain (rGBE) that has been tested for validity, but not for its intra-rater reliability. Moreover, its’ association with SE symptom severity is unknown.

Aim: To examine intra-rater reliability of rGBE in SE, and concurrent validity between rGBE and symptom severity in SE, measured with the self-reported outcome measure Shirom-Melamed Burnout Questionnaire (SMBQ).

Method: Test-retest and cross-sectional design was used in the study, with a sample of convenience. Intra-rater reliability was analyzed with ICC, standard error of measurement (SEM) and agreement through a Bland-Altman plot. Spearman’s rho was used to analyze correlation between SMBQ and rGBE.

Result: Sample size was 25. Intra-rater reliability was very high (ICC: 0.94, 95% CI: 0.86-0.97, p<0.01). Bland-Altman plot revealed no systematic errors. Mean of rGBE: 7.51 (SD2.14) with SEM: 0.56. Correlation between rGBE and SMBQ was low, Spearman’s rho=0.48,95% CI: 0.09-0.74, p=0,02, with 22% shared variance.

Conclusion: rGBE shows good intra-rater reliability and seems suitable for examining SE symptoms. However, its use in diagnostic and to determinate symptom severity in SE remains uncertain due to the wide CI. Beyond SE, rGBE might be useful for other disorders affecting the autonomic balance, as well as diseases that affect respiration.

Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Utmattningssyndrom har ökat i samhället de senaste 10 åren. Undersökning är viktig för god rehabilitering men forskning gällande kroppsundersökningar saknas på utmattningssyndrom. Kliniskt har bland annat påverkat respirationsmönster observerats, som ett kroppsligt uttryck på autonom uppvarvning. Global Body Examination (GBE) är en undersökningsmetod som kartlägger autonom uppvarvning. GBE har en respirationsdomän (rGBE) som har testats för validitet, men inte för intrabedömarreliabilitet. Om ett samband föreligger mellan rGBE och besvärsgrad vid utmattningssyndrom är också okänt.

Syfte: Att undersöka intrabedömarreliabilitet hos rGBE, samt den samtidiga validiteten mellan rGBE och självskattad besvärsgrad enligt Shirom-Melamed Burnout Questionnaire (SMBQ) hos individer med utmattningssyndrom.

Metod: Test-retestdesign och tvärsnittsdesign användes i studien. Bekvämlighetsurval utfördes. Intrabedömarreliabilitet analyserades med ICC, standardmätfel och överenstämmelse via en Bland-Altman analys. Korrelationen mellan rGBE och SMBQ analyserades med Spearman’s rho.

Resultat: Deltagarantalet blev 25. Intrabedömarreliabiliteten var mycket hög; ICC=0.94, 95% konfidensintervall 0.86-0.97, p<0.01. Bland-Altman analys visade inga systematiska mätfel. Medelvärde av rGBE blev 7.51 (SD 2.14) med standardmätfel på 0.56. Sambandet mellan rGBE och SMBQ var lågt; Spearmans's rho=0.48, 95% konfidensintervall 0.09-0.74, p=0.02. Samvariationen blev 22%.

Slutsats: rGBE visar god intrabedömarreliabilitet och kan vara en lämplig undersökningsmetod för att observera utmattningssymtom. Inga säkra slutsatser kan dras gällande rGBEs användbarhet vid diagnostik eller besvärsgradering av utmattningssyndrom då konfidensintervallet blev brett. Utöver utmattningssyndrom kan rGBE troligen vara användbar vid besvär som påverkar den autonoma balansen, såväl som besvär som påverkar respirationen.
