Overview

Research validates the Fatigue and Altered Cognition Scale's efficacy in measuring fatigue and cognition in European Portuguese adults.

  • Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated a general factor underlying all complex items of the FACs.
  • The internal consistency of the FACs was excellent, showing robust correlations with burnout, depression, anxiety, and stress.
  • This validation opens opportunities for clinical and research applications in assessing fatigue-related issues in Portuguese populations.
