5.8.4 – Fatigue

Measure (Authors, Year)	Generic vs Specific, Purpose	Administration, Number of Items, Number of Domains	Measurement Properties
HIV Fatigue Scale⁴⁷	HIV-specific Descriptive	Self-reported questionnaire 56 items 3 domains	Reliability: High internal consistency reliability. Cronbach's alpha was >0.90 on all domains among people living with HIV-related fatigue. Cronbach's alpha for the entire tool was 0.94. Test-retest reliability was moderate with a correlation coefficient of 0.43. Validity: Good convergent construct validity among people living with HIV-related fatigue.⁴⁸
