目标.纤维肌痛（FM）和慢性广泛性疼痛（CWP）是初级保健中的常见疾病，除了它们引起的疼痛外，疲劳也是一个主要问题。疲劳被认为是一个多方面的概念，因此评估疲劳的工具应该涵盖几个不同的方面。多维疲劳量表（MFI- 20）测量疲劳的五个不同维度。本研究的目的是调查的重测信度和收敛结构效度的瑞典版的MFI- 20女性患者FM或CWP. Methods。为了研究聚合结构的有效性，166名女性患者FM或CWP完成了瑞典版的MFI- 20和视觉焦虑量表（VAS）测量全球疲劳。166名患者中的36名患者完成了两次瑞典版的MFI- 20，间隔一天，以评估重测的可靠性。斯皮尔曼相关系数显示，MFI-20的5个分量表中的每一个与整体疲劳的VAS之间存在显著相关性。全身疲劳与VAS的相关性最高（rs = 0.62，p
Objectives. Fibromyalgia ( FM) and Chronic Widespread Pain ( CWP) are common diseases in primary care and, in addition to the pain they cause, fatigue is a major problem. Fatigue is regarded as a multidimensional concept and instruments assessing fatigue should therefore cover several different dimensions. The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory ( MFI- 20) measures five different dimensions of fatigue. The aim of the study was to investigate the test-retest reliability and convergent construct validity of the Swedish version of the MFI- 20 in female patients with FM or CWP.Methods. To investigate the convergent construct validity, 166 female patients with FM or CWP completed the Swedish version of the MFI- 20 and a Visual Analogue Scale ( VAS) measuring global fatigue. Thirty- six of the 166 patients completed the Swedish version of the MFI- 20 on two occasions, one day apart to evaluate the test-retest reliability.Results. Spearman's correlation coefficient revealed a significant association between each of the five subscales of the MFI-20 and the VAS for global fatigue. General Fatigue had the highest correlation with the VAS ( rs = 0.62, p
