Many individuals around the world are suffering from psychological distress due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The aim of this study is to explore the validity and reliability of the English version of Stress and Anxiety to Viral Epidemics-6 (SAVE-6), which measures the anxiety response of the general population to the viral epidemic. A cross-sectional web-based study with self-reporting measures was conducted. A total of 314 United States residents were recruited via online platform in exchange for payment. The participants were asked to an anonymous questionnaire, collecting information on demographics, psychiatric history, SAVE-6, Patient Health Questionnaire-4 (PHQ-4), and the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale. The result from confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) demonstrated that a single-factor model [ = 11.53, = 0.24] yielded excellent fit for all of indices [χ/df ratio = 1.28; CFI = 1.00; TLI = 1.00; SRMR = 0.02; RMSEA = 0.03 (0.00, 0.07; 90% CI)] and yielded strong internal consistency reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.88). The results from multigroup CFAs showed that there were no gender differences [ = 3.20, = 0.78, ns] and no race differences [ 3.60, = 0.73, ns] between the models, along with excellent model fits. The results of this study support the reliability and validity of SAVE-6 with strong psychometric properties for the English version of the U.S. population.
由于新冠疫情的爆发，世界各地许多人都遭受着心理困扰。本研究的目的是探讨《应对病毒流行的压力与焦虑量表 -6》（SAVE-6）英文版的有效性和可靠性，该量表用于测量普通人群对病毒流行的焦虑反应。我们开展了一项基于网络的横断面自我报告研究。通过在线平台招募了314名美国居民，并给予报酬。参与者被要求填写一份匿名问卷，收集有关人口统计学、精神病史、SAVE-6、患者健康问卷 -4（PHQ-4）和冠状病毒焦虑量表的信息。验证性因子分析（CFA）结果表明，单因素模型[χ² = 11.53，df = 9]对所有指标都有出色的拟合度[χ/df比值 = 1.28；CFI = 1.00；TLI = 1.00；SRMR = 0.02；RMSEA = 0.03（0.00，0.07；90%置信区间）]，并具有很强的内部一致性信度（Cronbach's α = 0.88）。多组CFA结果显示，模型之间不存在性别差异[χ² = 3.20，df = 4，ns]和种族差异[χ² = 3.60，df = 5，ns]，且模型拟合度良好。本研究结果支持了SAVE-6在美国人群英文版中的可靠性和有效性，其具有很强的心理测量学特性。
