Brief Fatigue Inventory
The Brief Fatigue Inventory (BFI) is a straightforward yet highly sensitive tool used to assess both the severity and impact of cancer-related fatigue. It allows healthcare professionals to quickly evaluate the intensity of a patient’s fatigue and how it affects their ability to carry out daily activities.
The BFI uses a series of short, patient-reported measures, making it efficient to administer while providing valuable insights into how fatigue interferes with essential functions such as work, social activities, and general quality of life. As cancer-related fatigue is one of the most common and debilitating symptoms experienced by patients, the BFI is a crucial instrument for monitoring and managing this aspect of patient care, facilitating better treatment planning and improved outcomes.
