This study examined the reliability and validity of the Stress and Anxiety to Viral Epidemics-9 (SAVE-9) scale among nursing professionals working in a COVID-19 inpatient ward. An anonymous, online survey was conducted among working frontline nursing professionals between April 7 and 18, 2022. We collected information about the participants' age, sex, years of employment, shift work, and marital status. In addition, the participants were asked whether they had dealt with infected patients recently, and whether they had been quarantined, infected, or vaccinated. SAVE-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) were used to evaluate symptoms. We used the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) to determine the validity of the two-factor model of the SAVE-9 scale. We also tested reliability and convergent validity using the PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scales. A total of 136 responses was analyzed, and CFA for two-factors model of the SAVE-9 scale showed a good model fit among frontline nursing professionals (CFI = 1.000, TLI = 1.040, RMSEA = 0.000, RSMR = 0.060). Multi-group CFAs revealed that the SAVE-9 scale can measure work-related stress and viral anxiety in the same way across sex, having depression, or having generalized anxiety. The internal consistency was shown to be good, and the SAVE-9 scale was significantly correlated with the GAD-7 (r = 0.328, < 0.001) and PHQ-9 score (r = 0.361, < 0.001). The two-factor model of the SAVE-9 is a valid and reliable scale for frontline nursing professionals.
本研究检验了《应对病毒流行的压力与焦虑量表-9》（SAVE-9）在新冠住院病房工作的护理专业人员中的信效度。2022年4月7日至18日，对一线在职护理专业人员进行了一项匿名在线调查。我们收集了参与者的年龄、性别、工作年限、轮班工作情况和婚姻状况等信息。此外，还询问了参与者近期是否接触过感染患者，以及是否被隔离、感染或接种过疫苗。使用SAVE-9、广泛性焦虑障碍量表-7（GAD-7）和患者健康问卷-9（PHQ-9）来评估症状。我们采用验证性因子分析（CFA）来确定SAVE-9量表双因子模型的效度。我们还使用PHQ-9和GAD-7量表检验了信度和收敛效度。共分析了136份回复，SAVE-9量表双因子模型的CFA结果显示，该模型在一线护理专业人员中拟合良好（CFI = 1.000，TLI = 1.040，RMSEA = 0.000，RSMR = 0.060）。多组CFA结果表明，SAVE-9量表在不同性别、是否患有抑郁症或广泛性焦虑症的人群中，均能以相同方式测量与工作相关的压力和对病毒的焦虑。结果显示内部一致性良好，SAVE-9量表与GAD-7量表显著相关（r = 0.328，< 0.001），与PHQ-9得分也显著相关（r = 0.361，< 0.001）。SAVE-9量表的双因子模型对于一线护理专业人员来说是一个有效且可靠的量表。
