Original Scale

The goal was to describe the content validity of a short version of the state subscale of Spielberger's "State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)", based on the original version adapted to Spanish, in Spanish patients receiving invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). The sample consisted of 16 patients receiving IMV at the Alicante Hospital (Spain), who selected the items from the full Spanish version of the STAI-state that were most relevant to them. Items 1, 5, 9, 10, 12 and 20 from the original scale are the most relevant for the Spanish patients receiving IMV and 5 of these are included in the short version of the scale (83.3% agreement). The short scale has shown adequate content validity for Spanish patients receiving IMV.

Scale Item

ABSTRACTThis article reports on two studies that describe the adaptation of Spielberger's State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (form Y) for people aged 65 and older. The aim of the first study is to assess the necessity to modify the format of the STAI for the aged. Verbal reports of 22 subjects suggest difficulties reading the items, respecting the instructions and using the Likert scale. Item-remainder correlations supported these observations. Therefore, the size of the text was doubled and the state or trait instructions, as well as the choices of the Likert scale, were repeated in each item. A second study is carried out to test if these modifications enhanced the understanding of the items, and simplified the use of the STAI-Y. Verbal report and internal consistency showed a significant improvement. Our results support the recommendation of other authors that adapting an instrument for the elderly necessitates important modifications.
