Assessing cancer-related fatigue: Validation of the Korean version of the cancer fatigue scale among cancer survivors.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This study aimed to validate the Korean version of the Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS-K) as a reliable tool for assessing cancer-related fatigue (CRF) for cancer survivors.

Methods

A total of 208 cancer survivors who completed active treatment participated in evaluating the reliability, construct validity, and factor structure of the CFS-K through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Correlations with the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue (FACT-F) and the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30 (EORTC QLQ-C30) scales were analyzed to assess construct validity.
