Subjective Well-Being under Neuroleptic Treatment (SWN) – A Self-Rating for Patients with Schizophrenia
نویسنده
چکیده
The Schwartz Cancer Fatigue Scale is a short, clinically relevant, well-tested instrument that measures two dimensions of cancer-related fatigue (physical and perceptual). The scale has been tested in heterogeneous patients during and following treatment and against other measures of fatigue. It continues to be a robust and parsimonious measure of fatigue. The Schwartz Cancer Fatigue Scale (SCFS) was developed in response to a recognized need for a reliable and valid instrument specifically designed to measure cancerrelated fatigue. Most other measures of cancer-related fatigue are incorporated in instruments intended to measure other aspects of functioning. After extensive psychometric testing, the SCFS has become a parsimonious, 6-item measure of cancer-related fatigue on physical and perceptual dimensions.
