OBJECTIVE: As measurements of subjective @entity1295 after @entity131 ( @entity131 ) rely on self-assessment, deficits in self-awareness after @entity131 may distort subjective @entity1295 reports. This study investigates awareness of subjective @entity1295 after @entity131 using self- and informant reports. @entity1 : Fourteen adults with moderate to severe @entity131 and 7 healthy controls (HCs). MEASURES: Modified Fatigue Impact Scale (MFIS) and battery of cognitive and emotional tests. Informants completed an "other-report," rating their perception of @entity1 's @entity1295 . Subjective @entity1295 awareness was defined as discrepancy between self- and other-MFIS scores. RESULTS: Adults with @entity131 showed greater discrepancies between self- and other-MFIS scores than did HCs. Negative relations were found between @entity1295 @entity308 , but there were no relationships between @entity1295 awareness and cognitive performance. CONCLUSIONS: Results indicate that adults with @entity131 have poorer awareness of subjective @entity1295 than HCs. Correlations between subjective @entity1295 awareness and @entity308 support existing literature implicating strong emotional components in the experience of subjective @entity1295 postinjury. Findings suggest cautious interpretation of subjective @entity1295 , as responses may not reflect @entity1295 symptoms exclusively.
