The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) is commonly used to detect depressive or anxious states, but its 14-item questionnaire is time-consuming. Visual analog scales (VAS) are easy to use and quick to implement. Although the VAS has been validated to assess pain and occupational stress, VAS scores for anxiety and mood have never been evaluated in the workplace. We aimed to validate the use of visual analog scales (VAS) for anxiety and mood compared to HADS in workers. A HADS self-reported questionnaire associated with VAS assessing perceived anxiety and mood on a horizontal line of 100 mm was administered to 182 workers, with a second test (retest) proposed one week later. Sociodemographic, characteristics of work, sleep, well-being, and stress were also assessed. VAS anxiety and mood correlated with the HADS sub-scores (0.70 and 0.65, respectively). The test-retest reliability was good. Optimal VAS cut-offs were ≥ 60/100 for anxiety and ≤ 60/100 for mood, to define at-risk patients. The VAS is quick to perform, easy to use, and reliable for screening depression and anxiety in occupational medicine. We recommend validated questionnaires for at-risk patients.

医院焦虑抑郁量表(HADS)常用于检测抑郁或焦虑状态,但其14项问卷耗时较长。视觉模拟量表(VAS)使用方便且实施迅速。尽管VAS已被验证可用于评估疼痛和职业压力,但在工作场所中,焦虑和情绪的VAS评分从未得到评估。我们旨在验证与HADS相比,视觉模拟量表(VAS)在工人中用于评估焦虑和情绪的有效性。对182名工人进行了一份与VAS相关的HADS自我报告问卷,该问卷在一条100毫米的水平线上评估感知到的焦虑和情绪,并在一周后进行第二次测试(重测)。还评估了社会人口统计学、工作特征、睡眠、幸福感和压力情况。VAS焦虑和情绪评分与HADS子评分相关(分别为0.70和0.65)。重测信度良好。焦虑的最佳VAS临界值为≥60/100,情绪的最佳临界值为≤60/100,以确定有风险的患者。VAS操作迅速、使用方便,在职业医学中用于筛查抑郁和焦虑可靠。我们建议对有风险的患者使用经过验证的问卷。
