There is no valid and reliable tool to measure COVID-19 healthcare stress felt by healthcare students. A scale was developed to assess COVID-19 stress in healthcare students and its psychometrics was examined.
This is a two phases mixed-method study including a qualitative stage consisting of student interview and literature review to develop content of the tool. In the quantitative stage, the psychometrics of the scale was examined in 2020-2021.
The COVID-19 related healthcare student stress scale (CHSSS) featured five factors including fear of catching coronavirus, social constraints, changes in education, non-compliance of health protocols and worrying news and overload information, which totally explained 51.75% of the total variance.
Validity and reliability of CHSSS with 17 items were supported to measure COVID-19 stress in healthcare students as a self-assessment tool. Researchers can utilize this tool to assess COVID-19 stress in healthcare students and introduce policies and intervention especially designed for healthcare students.
目前尚无有效且可靠的工具来衡量医学生所感受到的 COVID-19 医护压力。本研究开发了一种评估医学生 COVID-19 压力的量表，并对其心理测量学特性进行了检验。
这是一项两阶段混合方法研究，包括定性阶段（学生访谈和文献复习以确定工具的内容）和定量阶段（2020-2021 年检验量表的心理测量学特性）。
COVID-19 相关医学生压力量表（CHSSS）包括五个因素，包括对感染冠状病毒的恐惧、社会限制、教育变化、不遵守卫生规范、担心新闻和信息过载，共解释了总方差的 51.75%。
17 项条目组成的 CHSSS 具有良好的效度和信度，可作为自我评估工具用于测量医学生的 COVID-19 压力。研究人员可以利用该工具评估医学生的 COVID-19 压力，并为医学生制定专门的政策和干预措施。
