This investigation evaluates two common measures of cancer-related fatigue, one multidimensional/retrospective and one unidimensional/same day. Fifty-two African American survivors of diverse cancers completed fatigue visual analogue scales once daily, and the Multidimensional Fatigue Symptom Inventory-Short Form (MFSI-SF) once weekly, for four weeks. Zero-order correlations showed retrospective fatigue was significantly related to average, peak, and most recent same-day fatigue. Multilevel random coefficient modeling showed unidimensional fatigue shared the most variance with the MFSI-SF's General subscale for three weeks, and with the Vigor subscale for one week. Researchers and clinicians may wish to prioritize multidimensional measures when assessing cancer-related fatigue, if appropriate.
本研究评估了两种常见的癌症相关疲劳测量方法，一种是多维/回顾性的，另一种是单维/当日的。52 名不同癌症的非裔美国幸存者每周完成一次多维疲劳症状清单-短表（MFSI-SF），连续四周每天完成一次疲劳视觉模拟量表。零阶相关显示，回顾性疲劳与平均、峰值和最近的当日疲劳显著相关。多层次随机系数模型显示，在三周内，单维疲劳与 MFSI-SF 的一般分量共享最多的方差，而在一周内，与活力分量共享最多的方差。如果合适的话，研究人员和临床医生在评估癌症相关疲劳时可能希望优先考虑多维测量方法。
