结局指标
主要结局
The Piper Fatigue Scale
时间窗: At the end of Sessions 16 (each Session 2 days a week)
It is a 22-item scale that measures four subscales: behavior (6 items), affect (5 items), sensory (5 items), and cognition/mood (6 items). Each item has 11 response categories on a 0-10 metric with verbal descriptors anchoring the endpoints. Each subscale is scored individually and then aggregated together for an overall score, with higher scores reflecting more fatigue.
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)
时间窗: At the end of Sessions 16 (each Session 2 days a week)
The PSQI is a valid and consistent survey comprising of 19 questions to assess quality and amount of sleep and the existence of a sleep disorder and its level in the previous month. The scale was adapted into the Turkish language by Agargün et al. (1996). The scale consists of seven components that assess patients subjective sleep quality, sleep delay, use of sleeping medication and disfunction in daily activities. Each item scores in the range 0-3 points and the total score of the seven components gives the total PSQI score. The total score has a value between 0-21 and a high total score demonstrates a poor quality of sleep. A total PSQI score which is ≤5 indicates "good sleep", and a score which is \>5 indicates "poor sleep"
