Sintesi	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.	The Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory is a 20-item self-report instrument that comprehensively measures five distinct dimensions of fatigue: general fatigue, physical fatigue, reduced activity, reduced motivation, and mental fatigue. Developed by Smets and colleagues in 1995, the MFI-20 is grounded in a theoretical model distinguishing fatigue phenomenology from behavioral and cognitive consequences, making it particularly valuable for research examining fatigue mechanisms and interventions targeting specific fatigue dimensions.
