SUMMARY:

Background: with the development of increasingly multidisciplinary research in the last decades in the area of mental fatigue (MF), we can observe the importance of assessment FM in various fields. Therefore, there is a need to develop a tool in which its use in research and clinical environment with ecological validity can be viable. Objective: perform the concurrent criterion validity of visual digital scale for assessment of mental fatigue. Methods: methodological cross-sectional study with the aim of establishing the concurrent criterion validity of a visual digital scale for MF assessment (VDS-MF) compared with the visual analogue scale for MF assessment (VAS-MF). 117 individuals of both sex (male = 38,5%) participated in the study. At firts, the participants answered some information. Then, a video was presented for anchoring (familiarization) that explanatory video, the firts assessment was carried out, where the firts scale to be used was randomized (VDS-MF or VAS-MF); after that, the same procedure was requested for the other scale. The determination of the validity of the VDS-MF using the VAS-MF as a criterion was established. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was calculated from a linear regression, the Typical error of estimale in raw. In addition, the analysis was performed and the graphic representation of Bland-Altman was made available. Results: the sample consisted mainly of women (61.5%, n= 72), individuals with a mean age of 30 ( ± 3) years, with a median body mass of 70 (62.5% - 81.0) percentiles) kilogram and mean height of 168 ( ± 16) centimeters. The validity of the VDS was considered “Nearly Perfect” (r = 0.99, p = 0.001). The Typical error of estimale in raw was 2.33 (CI95% 2.06; 2.67) a.u., The Bland-Altman plot features a mean differences are expected between VDS-MF and VAS-MF. Finally, the differences between VDS-MF and VAS-MF presented a homoscedastic pattern, with a low and non-significant association (r = 0.14, p = 0.14) established by Pearsin’s  correlation. Conclusions: the VDS-MF presented validity when compared to the VAS-MF for the assessment of mental fatigue in healthy adults. These results are relevant as they provide applicability for use of VAS-MF tool in digital form, which considering the advantages of electronic data collection, enables its use in different scenario.
