Abstract (2504 Views)
Aims: This paper aimed to report the development and validation of the Coronavirus Pandemic Anxiety Scale, for assessing COVID-19-related anxiety.
Instrument & Methods: This is a methodological and psychometric study, we developed a 7-Item Generalized anxiety disorder of COVID-19 scale to measure symptoms of anxiety related to the COVID-19 pandemic to help identify people who might need mental health services. In developing the generalized anxiety disorder of COVID-19 scale items, we considered a previous theory and research on anxiety symptoms and symptoms reported in Iran. The scale was validated in the Razavi Khorasan (N=500).
Findings: The CVR in this study for the total scale was 0.81 indicating a satisfactory result. Also, the CVI for the scale was0.78, and the scale had good content validity. Confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit for the seven-factor model. generalized anxiety disorder of covid-19 scale showed good internal consistency.
Conclusion: The results support the viability of generalized anxiety disorder on the COVID-19 scale as a tool to identify individuals experiencing COVID-19-related anxiety.
