Abstract

The objective was to investigate the agreement between face-to-face and telephone application of the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) in the elderly. The participants were assessed using the FSS by telephone and face-to-face. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC-3,1) investigated the agreement between the FSS scores, for both scoring methods (sum and average), and quadratic weighted Kappa statistics to investigate the agreement between the individual items. The 55 individuals showed a total score ranging from 9 to 57 for the sum scoring method, from 1 to 6.3 for the average scoring method, and from 1 to 7 for the individual items. The level of agreement for the total scores was high ICC for the sum (0.84) and average (0.86) scoring method, while for each item, eight were considered moderate (0.21 ≤ κ ≤ 0.52), and one was low (κ = 0.19). This study showed that the FSS is a reliable scale, for both scoring methods, to be applied by telephone in elderly individuals.

老年人疲劳严重程度量表面对面与电话应用的一致性。

目的是调查老年人面对面和电话应用疲劳严重程度量表（FSS）之间的一致性。通过电话和面对面对参与者进行FSS评估。类内相关系数（icc -3,1）考察了FSS评分之间的一致性，对于两种评分方法（和和平均），以及二次加权Kappa统计来考察单个项目之间的一致性。55人的综合得分为9 ~ 57分，平均得分为1 ~ 6.3分，单项得分为1 ~ 7分。总得分的一致性水平在总和（0.84）和平均（0.86）评分法中为高ICC，而在每个项目中，8个被认为是中等（0.21≤κ≤0.52），1个被认为是低（κ = 0.19）。本研究表明，对于两种评分方法，FSS是一种可靠的量表，可通过电话应用于老年人。

期刊介绍： International Journal of Rehabilitation Research is a quarterly, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary forum for the publication of research into functioning, disability and contextual factors experienced by persons of all ages in both developed and developing societies. The wealth of information offered makes the journal a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and administrators in such fields as rehabilitation medicine, outcome measurement nursing, social and vocational rehabilitation/case management, return to work, special education, social policy, social work and social welfare, sociology, psychology, psychiatry assistive technology and environmental factors/disability. Areas of interest include functioning and disablement throughout the life cycle; rehabilitation programmes for persons with physical, sensory, mental and developmental disabilities; measurement of functioning and disability; special education and vocational rehabilitation; equipment access and transportation; information technology; independent living; consumer, legal, economic and sociopolitical aspects of functioning, disability and contextual factors.
