Abstract：Objective:To translate the Piper Fatigue Scale-12(PFS-12)into Chinese,and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:Authorized by the author of the original scale,the PFS-12 was translated into Chinese version of PFS-12 according to the Brislin scale translation principle.A total of 415 hemodialysis patients in the blood purification center of a tertiary grade A hospital in Shiyan city from April to October 2023 were selected by convenience sampling method to test the reliability and validity.Results:The Chinese version of PFS-12 included 4 dimensions and 12 items.The Cronbach's α coefficient of the total volume table was 0.935,the split half reliability was 0.904,and the retest reliability was 0.973.The scale-level content validity index(S-CVI)of the Chinese version PFS-12 was 0.93.The item-level content validity index(I-CVI)ranged from 0.82 to 1.00.The correlation coefficients between the scores of PFS-12 and Revised Piper Fatigue Scale(RPFS)ranged from 0.736 to 0.961(P<0.01).Exploratory factor analysis extracted 4 common factors,and the cumulative contribution rate of variance was 82.329%.Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fit well.Conclusions:The Chinese version of PFS-12 has good reliability and validity,and it can be used to evaluate the fatigue status of hemodialysis patients in China.
