Personal Fatigue Intensity Questionnaire – Chinese Version

Description

Fatigue refers to a state of exhaustion resulting from excessive physical, psychological, or environmental strain during activities. Generally, fatigue can be categorized into physical fatigue and mental fatigue: physical fatigue, also known as physiological fatigue, is characterized by sensations of weakness, lack of energy, and drowsiness; its primary focus is on physiological studies. Mental fatigue, also called psychological or cognitive fatigue, manifests as difficulties in concentration, slowed thinking, decreased interest, and feelings of burnout, which are primarily studied in psychology. However, this distinction is often not clear-cut, as the two types frequently overlap. Fatigue is common in both healthy individuals and those with various physical or mental disorders, serving as a primary symptom of sub-health, and it poses certain risks to physical and mental well-being. It can easily trigger negative emotions, affect work performance, impair cognitive abilities such as memory and attention, and chronic fatigue may lead to chronic fatigue syndrome. Prolonged excessive fatigue can also trigger acute circulatory organ disorders, such as cerebrovascular or cardiovascular diseases, potentially leading to death, commonly referred to as “death from overwork.”

Administration Method and Scoring

The CIS consists of 20 items, 11 of which are reverse-coded questions (1, 3, 4, 9, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19). Participants are asked to rate each statement on a scale from 1 to 7, ranging from “Strongly Agree” to “Strongly Disagree.” It includes four dimensions: subjective fatigue, attention, motivation, and physical strength. A total score above 76 indicates high values, which can measure fatigue severity and behavioral outcomes related to fatigue.
