Psychometric evaluation of the Icelandic version of the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) and the Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire (CFQ)
Insomnia and fatigue are common and prevalent problems that have a significant negative consequence for the quality of people’s health and lives. These problems are associated with high health care use and societal cost. There is a need for reliable and valid instruments in screening for problems wi...

Insomnia and fatigue are common and prevalent problems that have a significant negative consequence for the quality of people’s health and lives. These problems are associated with high health care use and societal cost. There is a need for reliable and valid instruments in screening for problems with sleep and fatigue, that can be used for research and clinical purposes in Iceland. This study examines the psychometric properties of an Icelandic version of the Insomnia Severity Scale (ISI) and the Chalder Fatigue Questionnaire (CFQ), in a group of patients (clinical sample) and students (nonclinical sample).
