疲劳影响量表（FIS）的开发是为了提高我们对疲劳对生活质量的影响的理解。FIS检查患者对过去一个月疲劳引起的功能限制的认知。FIS项目反映了对认知、身体和社会心理功能的感知影响。本研究比较了145例慢性疲劳（ChF）患者、105例多发性硬化症（MS）患者和34例轻度高血压（HT）患者。所有分析中FIS及其三个子量表的内部一致性为bb0.87。疲劳影响在ChF组是最高的，尽管MS组报告的疲劳也超过了HT组。判别函数分析对ChF组和MS组的正确率分别为80.0%和78.1%。这项初步的验证研究表明，FIS作为一种衡量患者功能限制归因到疲劳症状的方法具有相当大的优点。
The fatigue impact scale (FIS) was developed to improve our understanding of the effects of fatigue on quality of life. The FIS examines patients' perceptions of the functional limitations that fatigue has caused over the past month. FIS items reflect perceived impact on cognitive, physical, and psychosocial functioning. This study compared 145 patients referred for investigation of chronic fatigue (ChF) with 105 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and 34 patients with mild hypertension (HT). Internal consistency for the FIS and its three subscales was > .87 for all analyses. Fatigue impact was highest for the ChF group although the MS group's reported fatigue also exceeded that of the HT group. Discriminant function analysis correctly classified 80.0% of the ChF group and 78.1% of the MS group when these groups were compared. This initial validation study indicates that the FIS has considerable merit as a measure of patients' attribution of functional limitations to symptoms of fatigue.
