This paper aims to evaluate the factorial validity of the Chinese version of the Chalder Fatigue Scale (ChCFS) using a Chinese community sample.
A total of 201 Chinese adults completed the ChCFS, the 12-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF12), and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS). Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to assess the fit of a one-factor model, a two-factor correlated model, and a three-factor hierarchical model in both the 14-item and 11-item versions of ChCFS to the current data.
ChCFS successfully replicated the original two-factor structure in the current Chinese community sample, and the 11-item version demonstrated better data-model fit than the 14-item version. The instrument possessed good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha=.863). The convergent validity with HADS and divergent validity with SF12 were also evident.
ChCFS is valid and reliable among Chinese adults in the general population.
本研究旨在使用中国社区样本评估中文版 Chaler 疲劳量表（ChCFS）的因子有效性。
共有 201 名中国成年人完成了 ChCFS、12 项简短健康调查（SF12）和医院焦虑抑郁量表（HADS）。验证性因子分析用于评估 ChCFS 的 14 项和 11 项版本的一个因素模型、两个相关因素模型和三个层次因素模型对当前数据的拟合程度。
ChCFS 在当前中国社区样本中成功复制了原始的两因素结构，11 项版本比 14 项版本具有更好的数据模型拟合度。该工具具有良好的内部一致性（Cronbach's alpha=.863）。与 HADS 的收敛有效性和与 SF12 的发散有效性也很明显。
ChCFS 在一般人群中的中国成年人中是有效且可靠的。
