FATIGUE RATING SCALE FOR IBD
Fatigue is a significant and often debilitating symptom experienced by many people living with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. While fatigue scales have been used in many other medical conditions to assess fatigue levels, there has not been a specific tool for people living with IBD in Ireland —until now.
Our Fatigue Rating Scale for IBD is designed to help people living with IBD:
- Self-assess their fatigue and its impact on their daily life.
- Easily raise fatigue symptoms with healthcare professionals during consultations.
- Evaluate whether lifestyle changes are improving fatigue levels.
- Discuss fatigue with family, friends, and employers to help them understand the challenges faced.
We encourage people with IBD to bring a completed fatigue scale to their appointments with their healthcare team. This tool is intended to support better conversations and more effective management of fatigue.
If you would like any help in using the scale or would like to send your feedback please email wladzia.czuber-dochan@kcl.ac.uk
