OBJECTIVE
The purpose of this study was to examine the validity of a new type of Subjective Fatigue Scale for young adults (SFS-Y).
METHODS
The SFS-Y consisted of 24 item questions representing 6 sub-scales of difficulty of concentrated thinking, languor, reduced activation, reduced motivation, drowsiness and feeling of physical disintegration. The SFS-Y, subjective symptoms index (SSI), chronic fatigue symptoms index (CFSI), multidimensional fatigue index (MFI) and the Chalder fatigue scale (CFS) were administered to 5435 students aged 15-20 yr.
RESULTS
It was inferred that SFS-Y can evaluate individual differences from the viewpoints of score distribution and discrimination power. It was considered that the SFS-Y has high generality because it includes many question items with a similar content to existing fatigue scales and it can do multiple evaluations covering almost all aspects of existing scales. The relationships between sub-scales in the SFS-Y and existing fatigue scales were high in sub-scales with similar names and was low in ones with different names.
CONCLUSION
The Subjective Fatigue Scale developed to evaluate subjective fatigue for youths was considered to be excellent in validity and to be effective scale.
