详细描述
Fatigue is a subjective experience that can affect all individuals. It is a protective symptom against physical or psychological stress for healthy individuals. However, it can negatively affect the performance of individuals in activities of daily living. In the clinic, fatigue is assessed by self-reported scales. Different fatigue scales have some advantages and disadvantages compared to each other. Moreover, it is stated that only one scale cannot fully measure the fatigue of individuals in different health status, therefore different scales have been developed.Chalder Fatigue Scale (CFS) is an easy-to-understand, short, fast and useful fatigue scale that evaluates fatigue with two dimensions (physical and mental) and enable individuals to express perceived fatigue clearly. Psychometric properties of CFS have been investigated in general population and different disease groups but not in only healthy young adults.
