This study explored the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the Stress and Anxiety to Viral Epidemics-6 items (SAVE-6) scale for assessing people's anxiety in response to the viral epidemic in Lebanon. The 406 participants responded voluntarily to the online survey that included the SAVE-6, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) tools. The single-structure SAVE-6 model showed good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.773). The SAVE-6 scale also showed good convergent validity with the GAD-7 (Spearman's ρ = 0.42, < 0.001) and PHQ-9 (ρ = 0.38, < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis revealed an Arabic SAVE-6 cut-off score of 12 points (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.753; sensitivity = 62.74%; specificity = 78.26%) for an at least mild degree of anxiety (GAD-7 score ≥ 5). The Arabic version of the SAVE-6 was a reliable, valid, and solely usable scale for measuring the anxiety response of the general population to the viral epidemic.
本研究旨在探讨阿拉伯版应激和焦虑应对病毒流行量表（SAVE-6）评估黎巴嫩民众对病毒流行产生的焦虑的心理测量特性。406 名参与者自愿在线完成了 SAVE-6、广泛性焦虑障碍-7 项（GAD-7）和患者健康问卷-9（PHQ-9）工具。SAVE-6 的单结构模型表现出良好的内部一致性（Cronbach's α = 0.773）。SAVE-6 量表与 GAD-7（Spearman's ρ = 0.42，<0.001）和 PHQ-9（ρ = 0.38，<0.001）之间具有良好的收敛效度。受试者工作特征（ROC）分析显示，阿拉伯语版 SAVE-6 的截断值为 12 分（曲线下面积[AUC] = 0.753；灵敏度 = 62.74%；特异性 = 78.26%），用于评估至少轻度焦虑（GAD-7 得分≥5）。阿拉伯语版 SAVE-6 是一种可靠、有效且唯一可用于测量普通人群对病毒流行的焦虑反应的量表。
