Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the existing Turkish version of the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS-TR) in individuals with chronic neck pain.

Design: A cross-sectional study.

Methods: A total of 106 participants were included. Content validity was assessed by experts using the Item-Level Content Validity Index (I-CVI) and Content Validity Ratio, while face validity was examined through patient feedback using the Comprehensibility Index (CI). Construct validity was tested using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA).

Results: CFA showed excellent fit indices (Comparative Fit Index = 0.989, Tucker-Lewis Index = 0.983, Root Mean Square Error of Approximation = 0.066, Standardized Root Mean Square Residual = 0.022), with factor loadings from 0.771 to 0.927. Convergent and discriminant validity were examined with Pearson correlations using the Turkish Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS-TR) and the Visual Analog Scale for fatigue (VAS fatigue), showing strong correlations with FIS-TR (r = 0.800, p < .001) and VAS fatigue (r = 0.803 and p < .001). Reliability analyses indicated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.959) and high test-retest reliability (ICC = 0.894).

Conclusions: The findings suggest that the FSS-TR is a valid and reliable tool for assessing fatigue in individuals with CNP.

慢性颈部疼痛患者疲劳程度量表的心理测量学评价。

目的：本研究旨在评估现有土耳其版疲劳严重程度量表（FSS-TR）对慢性颈部疼痛患者的心理测量特性。设计：横断面研究。方法：共纳入106例受试者。内容效度由专家使用项目级内容效度指数（I-CVI）和内容效度比评估，面部效度通过患者反馈使用可理解性指数（CI）评估。构念效度采用探索性因子分析（EFA）和验证性因子分析（CFA）进行检验。结果：CFA具有较好的拟合指标（比较拟合指数= 0.989，Tucker-Lewis指数= 0.983，近似均方根误差= 0.066，标准化均方根残差= 0.022），因子负荷范围为0.771 ~ 0.927。采用土耳其疲劳影响量表（FIS-TR）和视觉模拟疲劳量表（VAS疲劳）进行了收敛效度和判别效度的Pearson相关性检验，显示FIS-TR （r = 0.800, p < .001）和VAS疲劳（r = 0.803, p < .001）具有很强的相关性。信度分析显示内部一致性好（Cronbach’s α = 0.959），重测信度高（ICC = 0.894）。结论：研究结果表明FSS-TR是评估CNP患者疲劳程度的有效和可靠的工具。
