Objectives
The availability of a reliable and valid instrument assessing fatigue is crucial before any intervention can be planned and evaluated. Therefore, this study aims to assess the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Fatigue Scale for Child (FS-C) and to examine its factorial structure by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) among Hong Kong Chinese childhood cancer survivors.
