Abstract: Objective To explore the application of Chinese version of PedsQLTM Multidimensional Fatigue Scale(PedsQLTM MFS) in children with leukemia.Methods 141 children with leukemia and their main caretakers (one parent) were surveyed with the Chinese version of PedsQLTMMFS.Results The Cronbach α was 0.836-0.949 and 0.761-0.930 for parent-proxy scale and children's self-report scale respectively.The correlation coefficients between each item and its subscale were higher than those between each item and other subscales.The scores of parent-proxy scale and children's self-report scale were positively correlated with the correlation coefficient as 0.373-0.738,P＜0.01.Conclusions The Chinese version of PedsQLTMMFS has good reliability and validity.It is a reliable scale in measuring fatigue in children with leukemia.
