Abstract

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a form of chronic arthritis that mainly attacks the knee joint. The prevalence of knee OA in Indonesia, especially in East Java, is around 27% which is relatively high. Therefore, this study aims to determine the correlation between fatigue and quality of life in knee OA patients at RSD dr. Soebandi Jember. The methodology used in this study is the analytical observational method with a cross-sectional survey as the research design. For the data, this study uses primary and secondary data. The primary data was obtained through online interviews by phone using a questionnaire instrument, Fatigue Assessment Scale (FAS) and World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL) – BREF. Then, the secondary data was obtained from the medical records of 30 knee OA patients who were undergoing treatment at the RSD dr. Soebandi Jember in the period January 2019 to December 2020. The results of this study showed that the p-value of fatigue with physical health was 0.042 with a correlation coefficient of 0.373, psychological was 0.087, social was 0.221, and environmental was 0.426. Therefore, this study concludes a weak relationship between fatigue and physical health. Also, there is no relationship between fatigue and psychological, social, and environmental in knee OA patients at RSD dr. Soebandi Jember.
