ScaleTo facilitate assessment of fatigue-related symptoms, we developed a customized global assessment scale based upon the original CGI. The CGI is subject to scoring variability that can obscure the assessment of the intended symptoms. In this study, CGI-severity and Patient Global Impression of ...
The 'Shortened fatigue questionnaire' (SFQ) is a short, reliable and easily used instrument to determine the intensity of the patient's bodily fatigue. It consists of four questions which the patient answers by checking an item at a 7-point scale ('I feel tired', 'I tire easily', 'I ...
Using an appropriate quantitative scoring scale, 1 to 10 for example, can aid the client to formulate the amount of fatigue experienced. Further scoring scales can be developed by using pictures or descriptive language. This system allows the nurse to weigh against changes in the client’s fatigu...
The fatigue scale questionnaire scoring increased 27.9 on average from a nonfatigue state to a fatigue state. In particular, the degree of physical fatigue and mental fatigue of orchard workers all had upward trends, which increased on average 21.6 and 6.2 on average in scoring, respectively. The...
Additionally, the visual analogue scale (included in the EQ-5D-5L; 0–100) was used. 100 indicates the best imaginable state of health. The generic World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule 2.0 (WHODAS-12) measures health and disability and comprises the categories cognition, ...

bagged trees, and RUSBoosted trees, respectively. The study was limited by the reliability of subjective Borg’s RPE scale for fatigue assessment [21]. Ensemble learning was also used to analyze human activity data gathered by smartphone sensors. Results revealed that ensemble learning can enhance ...
The Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue Scale (MAF) Global Fatigue Index (GFI) was used to assess fatigue [37]. Higher scores equal more fatigue. Reliability and validity of the measure was supported with two large cohorts of postnatal women [38]. In a quasi-experimental study of an interve...
For example, one ICU might score high on the alarm coping scale (i.e., it has well-maintained procedures for managing alarms) while also scoring high on the alarm stress scale (i.e., staff still feels negatively impacted by alarms). This is what happened in the study by Sowan et al....
colleagues at Johns Hopkins University shows that performance fatigue, also known as “fatigability” — an objective measurement of a person’s ability to do a physical or cognitive task — can be different from the perception of fatigue — a person’s subjective assessment of the fatigue they...
