The goal of this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Korean version of the Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI-K). One hundred seventy-eight cancer patients and the same number of age- and sex-matched control subjects completed the BFI-K, the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer QLQ-C30 (EORTC QLQ-C30), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), and a Brief Pain Inventory (BPI). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the BFI-K was 0.956 in the cancer patient group and 0.955 in the control group. The global score and nine of the single item scores for the BFI-K were significantly correlated with the fatigue and global health status/QoL subscale of the EORTC QLQ-C30, BDI, and BPI (coefficient range 0.38-0.66). Discriminant validity showed that BFI-K could distinguish significant differences of performance status between subgroups of patients, and between the cancer patient group and the control group, as expected. Our study has shown that the BFI-K is a reliable, valid self-rating instrument in terms of its psychometric properties.
本研究的目的是评估韩文版简明疲劳量表（BFI-K）的信度和效度。178名癌症患者以及相同数量年龄和性别匹配的对照受试者完成了BFI-K、欧洲癌症研究与治疗组织核心问卷（EORTC QLQ-C30）、贝克抑郁量表（BDI）和简明疼痛量表（BPI）。BFI-K在癌症患者组中的克朗巴哈系数为0.956，在对照组中为0.955。BFI-K的总体得分和九个单项得分与EORTC QLQ-C30、BDI和BPI的疲劳及总体健康状况/生活质量子量表显著相关（系数范围为0.38 - 0.66）。判别效度表明，正如预期的那样，BFI-K能够区分患者亚组之间以及癌症患者组与对照组之间表现状态的显著差异。我们的研究表明，就其心理测量特性而言，BFI-K是一种可靠、有效的自评工具。
