The study compared level of fatigue measured by two self-report instruments in 43 patients on chronic haemodialysis. The two fatigue measures were the multi-item fatigue subscale of the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and a single-item visual analogue scale (VAS). There was a significant relationship between the two measures (r = 0.80); however, the shared variance was only 64%. Males and females, as well as subjects of different ages, responded to the two scales in different ways. Nurses need to know that different tools may give different results, even when the same concept, that is fatigue, is being measured in the same subjects at the same time.
该研究比较了43名慢性血液透析患者使用两种自我报告工具所测得的疲劳程度。这两种疲劳测量方法分别是情绪状态量表（POMS）中的多项目疲劳分量表和单项目视觉模拟量表（VAS）。两种测量方法之间存在显著相关性（r = 0.80）；然而，共同方差仅为64%。男性和女性以及不同年龄的受试者对这两种量表的反应方式不同。护士需要知道，即使在同一受试者身上同时测量相同的概念，即疲劳，不同的工具也可能得出不同的结果。
