Título: Efectos de la fatiga anticipatoria y la sintomatología emocional en la percepción de fatiga física y cognitiva. Resumen: El objetivo de este estudio fue doble, primero, analizar los efectos de la fatiga anticipatoria, la sintomatología emocional y la pertenencia a un grupo clínico sobre la percepción de fatiga física y mental; segundo, explorar el potencial efecto moderador de la anticipación de la fatiga en las relaciones entre la sintomatología o la condición clínica y la sensación percibida de fatiga. Se analiza mediante un diseño ex post facto y correlacional los efectos parciales y condicionados de las variables predictivas mediante diferentes análisis de regresión jerárquica. Participaron 317 sujetos (29% procedentes de población clínica). Se evaluó la fatiga anticipatoria (Escala elaborada ad hoc), la experiencia percibida de fatiga (Escala de Fatiga de Chalder et al., 1993), y la sintomatología emocional (GHQ-28 de Goldberg, 1996). Los resultados mostraron efectos significativos de la fatiga anticipatoria y la sintomatología emocional, predominantemente de la sintomatología depresiva sobre la percepción de fatiga física y mental. La pertenencia a un grupo clínico predecía de forma significativa y exclusiva la fatiga cognitiva. Además, la fatiga anticipatoria moderaba el efecto del grupo (clínico versus general) sobre la fatiga cognitiva. En conclusión, la sintomatología, principalmente la depresiva, y la fatiga anticipatoria, tienen un valor predictivo significativo en la experiencia percibida de la fatiga física y mental. La anticipación de fatiga moderaba el efecto del grupo clínico sobre la experiencia de fatiga cognitiva una vez controlada la sintomatología depresiva. Palabras clave: Fatiga anticipatoria; síntomas depresivos; somáticos y ansiosos; fatiga física y cognitiva. Abstract: The two fold aim of this study was first, to analyze the effects of anticipatory fatigue, emotional symptomatology and belonging to a clinical group on the physical and cognitive perception of fatigue, and second, to explore the potential moderating effect of anticipatory fatigue on the relationship between symptomatology or clinical condition and perceived fatigue. The conditional and partial effects of independent variables were analyzed by hierarchical regression in an ex-post-facto correlational design. The sample was composed of 317 participants (29% from a clinical population). Anticipatory fatigue (by an ad hoc scale), and perception of fatigue (by the Chalder Fatigue Scale) were measured. Emotional symptoms were assessed by Goldberg’s GHQ-28 questionnaire. Anticipatory fatigue and emotional symptoms (mainly depressive) had significant effects on cognitive and physical fatigue. Belonging to the clinical group significantly and exclusively predicted cognitive fatigue. Furthermore, anticipatory fatigue moderated between-group effects (clinical versus general) and cognitive fatigue. In brief, emotional symptoms (mainly depressive) and anticipatory fatigue significantly predicted perceived cognitive and physical fatigue. Anticipation of fatigue moderated the effect of clinical group on cognitive fatigue after controlling for depressive symptomatology.
