Stress is a crucial driver that affects hygiene behavior. The Hong Kong population lacks a COVID-19 or pandemic related stress measure investigating the COVID-19 related stress after one year of outbreak.
The original COVID Stress Scale (CSS) was translated and culturally adapted into the Chinese (Cantonese) version (CSS-C). Six hundred and twenty-four participants were recruited from the general public to examine the internal consistency, and concurrent and convergent validity of the CSS-C. The test-retest reliability of CSS-C was examined using 39 university students.
People with old age, women, single, low educational level and borderline and abnormal levels of anxiety and depression were likely to perceive high level of COVID-19 related stress. All CSS-C subscales demonstrated good internal consistency, moderate to good test-retest reliability, and weak to moderate correlations with various mental health-related measures.
The CSS could help monitor the stress associated the current and potential future pandemics.
压力是影响卫生行为的关键驱动因素。香港人口缺乏针对 COVID-19 或大流行相关压力的测量工具,无法了解爆发一年后与 COVID-19 相关的压力。
将原始的 COVID 压力量表 (CSS) 翻译成中文(粤语)版本 (CSS-C)。从普通公众中招募了 624 名参与者,以检验 CSS-C 的内部一致性、同时和收敛效度。使用 39 名大学生来检验 CSS-C 的重测信度。
年龄较大、女性、单身、教育程度较低以及焦虑和抑郁处于边缘和异常水平的人可能会感受到高水平的 COVID-19 相关压力。CSS-C 的所有分量表都表现出良好的内部一致性、中等至良好的重测信度,以及与各种心理健康相关测量的弱至中等相关性。
CSS 可以帮助监测与当前和潜在未来大流行相关的压力。
