Abstract

purpose : The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a multidimensional measure of fatigue for use with cancer patients. description of study : Items for the Multidimensional Fatigue Symptom Inventory (MFSI) were generated through literature review, discussion with healthcare providers,and a survey of currently available measures of fatigue. The 83‐item MFSI was designed to assess global, somatic, affective, cognitive, and behavioral symptoms of fatigue. The instrument was administered on three occasions to 275 women who had received or were undergoing treatment for breast cancer and 70 women with no history of cancer. Reliability, validity, and factorialstructure of the MFSI were analyzed. results : The factor analysis produced five empirically derived scales that correspond generally to the five rationally derived scales. Reliability of the rationally and empirically derived scales was excellent (alpha coefficients .87 to .96). Estimates of test‐retest reliability were also favorable. Other results support the validity of both the rationally and empirically derived scales. The MFSI appears to be sensitive to fatigue, accurately discriminating cancer patients from control subjects and between patients with varying levels of performance status. clinical implications : The MFSI may be useful in identifying patterns of fatigue within individual patients and across treatment modalities. Such specificity may allow the clinician to develop, implement, and evaluate interventions that are targeted for differing patterns of fatigue. Because the measure is keyed to a 1‐week time frame, it may be useful during the course of cancer treatment. The MFSI appears to be a valid and reliable tool to assess the full spectrum of symptoms that characterize the construct of fatigue.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
