Chronic Fatigue Severity Scale Test - Symptoms and Signs
Persistent fatigue may reflect more than transient tiredness and can warrant structured assessment. The Chronic Fatigue Severity Scale is a self-report measure designed to screen the severity and functional impact of ongoing fatigue symptoms. It includes 36 items and typically takes about 7 minutes to complete.
Items generally sample fatigue-related experiences across physical, emotional, and cognitive domains to support a multidimensional profile of symptom burden. Results from the Chronic Fatigue Severity Scale can help inform clinical interviewing, triage for further medical or psychological evaluation, and monitoring of change over time in occupational health or general clinical settings. The measure is attributed to David A. Kosinski.
