Abstract

Participants in the study confirmed that fatigue in IBD is burdensome. Items generated and refined by people with IBD-fatigue reflect their experience and form the basis of this new IBD-fatigue scale, which is psychometrically robust with reliability estimates which fall within statistically acceptable ranges. The scale can be used by patients and practitioners to assess severity and impact of fatigue in people with IBD.
