Methods Based on qualitative research about the perception of fatigue by Japanese cancer patients, we developed a questionnaire. The content validity was confirmed by 5 expert oncology nurses and 5 oncologists. 281 Japanese cancer patients participated in this study. Construct validity was analyzed using factor analysis, and internal consistency was analyzed using Cronbach's α coefficient. Results A 15-item scale with 3 dimensions, “physical/mental sensation”, “activity-related sensation” and “cognitive sensation,” was developed by factor analysis. This scale had an overall Cronbach's α coefficient of .943 and a test-retest reliability coefficient of r = .820 (p |

The correlation coefficient was r = .759 (p < 0.01) between HCFS and abridged Profile of Mood States-Fatigue (POMS-F), and r = .763 (p < 0.01) between HCFS and Cancer Fatigue Scale (CFS), both showing high correlations and confirming criterion-related validity. Conclusion HCFS enables reliable and valid evaluation of Japanese cancer patients' fatigue. Use of the HCFS would assist in convenient self-evaluation of fatigue, and would allow information to be effectively provided to healthcare professionals.
