Piper Fatigue Scale (PFS)
The Piper Fatigue Scale is a 22-item multidimensional self-report instrument that evaluates cancer-related fatigue across four conceptually distinct domains: behavioral/severity, affective/meaning, sensory, and cognitive/mood. Developed by Barbara Piper and colleagues in 1989 and revised in 1998, the PFS is grounded in a theoretical model of fatigue mechanisms and is widely used in oncology research and clinical practice to assess treatment-related and disease-related fatigue.
