To translate and culturally adapt the Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) to Chinese version, and to psychometrically test it in stroke population.
This study consisted of 2 phases. In phase one, we translated and culturally adopted the original English version of MFIS into Chinese (Cantonese) (MFIS-C). In phase two, the MFIS was psychometrically tested using a cohort of community-dwelling people with stroke (n = 101) and healthy control (n = 50). Among the stroke participants, 52 of them were reassessed after a 1-week interval.
The MFIS-C demonstrated satisfactory content validity and good to excellent internal consistency. The overall MFIS-C and its subscales have good test-retest reliability. The MDC were 14.86, 7.49, and 9.70 for the overall MFIS-C physical, cognitive and psychosocial subscales, respectively. The overall MFIS-C and its 2 subscales have significant weak to moderate negative correlations with the Community Integration Measure and the 12-item Short Form Health Survey Version 2. Our findings revealed that the people with chronic stroke living in Hong Kong were reported to have high level of fatigue.
The MFIS-C is a reliable and valid measure for assessing the level of fatigue in people with stroke.
将改良疲劳影响量表（MFIS）译为中文版本，并在中风人群中进行心理测量学测试。
本研究分为两个阶段。第一阶段，我们将 MFIS 的原始英文版翻译并文化适应为中文（粤语）版本（MFIS-C）。第二阶段，我们使用社区居住的中风患者（n=101）和健康对照组（n=50）的队列对 MFIS 进行心理测量学测试。在中风患者中，其中 52 人在 1 周间隔后进行了重新评估。
MFIS-C 表现出良好的内容效度和良好到优秀的内部一致性。整体 MFIS-C 及其分量表具有良好的重测信度。整体 MFIS-C 及其物理、认知和心理社会分量表的 MDC 分别为 14.86、7.49 和 9.70。整体 MFIS-C 及其 2 个分量表与社区融合度测量和 12 项简短健康状况调查问卷版本 2 呈显著的弱到中度负相关。我们的研究结果表明，生活在香港的慢性中风患者报告的疲劳水平较高。
MFIS-C 是一种可靠且有效的评估中风患者疲劳程度的工具。
