“…The SAI has been used to assess anxiety in patients with AMI (Crowe et al, 1996;Frasure-Smith & Lesperance, 2003;Frasure-Smith et al, 1995;Frazier et al, 2002a;Kim et al, 2000;O'Brien et al, 2001;Rose, Conn, & Rodeman, 1994;Webb & Riggin, 1994) and previous research has supported its reliability and validity (Spielberger et al, 1983). The Cronbach's a reliability coefficient for our sample was .93.…”

Public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other ajpect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, anxiety assessment instrument for widespread use, due in part to the unavailability of an easy-toadminister anxiety instrument that is not burdensome to either clinicians or critically ill patients.Objectives: To determine whether a single-item anxiety assessment instrument, the Anxiety Level Index (ALI), is a valid alternative to the State Anxiety Inventory (SAI) or the anxiety subscale of the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) in assessing state anxiety for patients with AMI.Methods: In this prospective multi-center study, 243 inpatients with AMI rated their anxiety using the SAI, the anxiety subscale of the BSI, and the ALI. Anxiety Level Index scores were compared to SAI and BSI anxiety subscale scores using Spearman's rho test and the BlandAltman method.Results: There were moderate, positive correlations between the SAI and the ALI (r = .52, P < .001) and between the ALI and the anxiety subscale of the BSI (r = .45, P < .001). However, the Bland-Altman method revealed a moderate bias between the ALI and the SAI and between the ALI and the anxiety subscale of the BSI. As anxiety scores increased, the level of disagreement became more pronounced in both comparisons.Conclusions: Although ALI scores were moderately and significantly correlated with scores on the SAI and the BSI anxiety subscale, the results of the Bland-Altman method indicate a lack of construct validity of the single-item measure. The quest continues to construct a simple selfreport measure of anxiety that is appropriate for critically ill patients with AMI.

“…The state-trait personality inventory has been used widely with different populations, including patients recovering from an acute myocardial infarction (Rose et al, 1994); AIDs workers (All and Fried, 1996) and mothers of term and preterm infants (Gennaro, 1985;Gennaro, 1988). …”

This project is a controlled prospective longitudinal study of stress experiences of parents with premature infants born from 30-35 weeks gestation being cared for in a tertiary special care nursery (SCN). Sixty mothers and 59 fathers of premature infants and 60 mothers and fathers of term infants were recruited into the study. A range of repeated selfreports and biochemical markers of stress (cortisol and tribulin) were carried out on 5 measuring times through approximately a total of 24 weeks for parents of premature infants and 17 weeks for parents of term infants.Parents of premature infants reported higher stress levels than parents of term infants within the first week of infant's birth but had lower biochemical markers of stress. The stressors perceived by these parents in a SCN were appearance and behaviour of the infants and the delayed in performing the parental role. Parents used both emotion-and problemfocused coping strategies to deal with the stressful events.A follow-up telephone interview of these parents a year after the birth of their premature infant found that most parents expressed the experience as positive. A few parents were concerned over the neurodevelopmental and cognitive outcomes of their infants. Implications for clinical practice were discussed.

“…Conversely, others did not find differences in anxiety between men and women after AMI. 6,8,36,37 Women with elevated anxiety levels after AMI may have higher morbidity and mortality rates. State anxiety and female gender both predicted recurrent acute coronary syndromes within the first year of AMI.…”
