The purpose of the present study was to adapt COVID-19 Induced Anxiety Scale (CIAS) and Protective Behaviors towards COVID-19 Scale (PBCS) into Turkish language, and to investigate their psychometric properties. 593 adults participated in the study. Data were collected through CIAS and PBCS as well as The Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCS). Cronbach alpha (α) and McDonald’s Omega (ω) coefficients were utilized for reliability of the Turkish forms of the scales, and validity of the scales was tested with exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and criterion validity. The analysis showed that α and ω reliability coefficients of both scales were over .70. The results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed that CIAS had a single factor structure while PBCS had three dimensions as indicated in original forms of the scales. Significant and positive relationships were also found between the scores obtained from CIAS and PBCS and fear scores. To conclude, Turkish forms of CIAS and PBCS were proved to be valid and reliable tools to measure severity of COVID-19 induced anxiety through CIAS and individuals’ protective behaviors towards COVID-19 through PBCS.

Objective: This study developed a Japanese self-rating anxiety scale, the Himorogi Self-rating Anxiety Scale (HSAS), and tested psychometric properties of its use in Japanese psychiatric patients. Methods: The process of developing the scale consisted of an intensive literature review, assessment of existing instruments, and detailed discussion on the content of the newly developed scale. Data for psychometric evaluation were collected from 419 outpatients of psychiatric clinics. The Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety Interview Guide (HAMA-IG) and the Sheehan Patient Rated Anxiety Scale (SPRAS) were used as standards against which the HSAS was compared. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a unifactorial nature for the HSAS and fewer insignificant items in the HSAS than the HAMA-IG and the SPRAS. Cronbach's alpha and test-retest coefficients indicated sufficient reliability. High correlation with the HAMA-IG and the SPRAS indicated evidence of convergence for the HSAS. ROC analysis showed high ability to distinguish between the presence and absence or remission of anxiety. Analysis of descriptive data suggested a larger dynamic range for the HSAS than the HAMA-IG and the SPRAS. Conclusions: The HSAS is a brief scale to assess anxiety severity, demonstrating evidence of good psychometric properties. It is recommended for use in research and clinical practice.
