To assess the suitability of the HIV-Related Fatigue Scale (BFS) [corrected] for assessment of posttraumatic brain injury (post-TBI) fatigue.
Analysis of self-report data.
Community.
183 individuals with TBI in California, and 233 individuals with TBI and a comparison group of 85 persons without brain injury in New York.
None.
Both individuals with TBI and comparison participants reported high levels of fatigue on the Fatigue Severity Scale and the Fatigue Assessment Instrument, which can be scored from the BFS. Factor analysis of 40 BFS items resulted in 5 factors; because factors appeared to be based on both substantive issues and the format and location of the items, a BFS scoring algorithm was not pursued. The other 16 BFS items provided useful information in understanding post-TBI fatigue.
The BFS in its current format is not recommended for assessing fatigue as a multidimensional entity after TBI. It may have utility for the 3 widely known fatigue measures that can be derived from it, and it generates information on the circumstances of fatigue.
评估HIV相关疲劳量表（BFS）[校正后]用于评估创伤性脑损伤（TBI后）疲劳的适用性。
自我报告数据分析。
社区。
加利福尼亚州183名TBI患者，纽约233名TBI患者以及85名无脑损伤的对照组成员。
无。
TBI患者和对照参与者在疲劳严重程度量表和可从BFS评分的疲劳评估工具上均报告了较高的疲劳水平。对40个BFS项目进行因子分析得出5个因子；由于因子似乎基于实质性问题以及项目的格式和位置，因此未采用BFS评分算法。其他16个BFS项目为理解TBI后疲劳提供了有用信息。
目前形式的BFS不建议用于评估TBI后作为多维实体的疲劳。它可能对可从中得出的3种广为人知的疲劳测量方法有用，并且它能生成有关疲劳情况的信息。
