Examining the psychometric properties of a refined perceived stress scale during the COVID-19 pandemic

COVID-19-related stress in postpartum women from Argentina during the second wave in 2021: Identification of impairing and protective factors

“…Several investigations used PSS during the COVID-19 pandemic, which have shown a higher prevalence of psychological stress in the general population ( Torales et al, 2020 ), in patients with COVID-19 ( Gu et al, 2021 ), and in frontline healthcare workers (Campo‐Arias et al, 2021). PSS-10-C is also useful in combination with other instruments to assess the pandemic effects on people's well-being ( Eubank et al, 2021 ). However, it is necessary to confirm the reliability and validity of this instrument in specific populations such as postpartum women, because they may respond distinctly to online PSS adaptations to COVID-19 situation, such as adequation of each item to inquire uncertainties, feelings, among other issues, specifically derived from the pandemic (Campo‐Arias et al, 2021).…”

“…The questions related to vaccine hesitancy for this study were inserted in the parent longitudinal study titled: “ Examining the psychometric properties of a refined perceived stress scale during the COVID-19 pandemic .” The parent study is a longitudinal investigation of stress and readiness launched at the onset of the pandemic in April 2020 with planned data collection periods in October 2020 and April 2021. Findings from the parent study can be found elsewhere (Eubank et al, 2021).…”

AI-Based Prediction and Prevention of Psychological and Behavioral Changes in Ex-COVID-19 Patients

“…These questionnaires are an essential part of any future predictive algorithm, since a very high score on any of them suggests an immediate risk that the disorder is already emerging or present. • Questionnaires regarding general distress experienced by ex-COVID-19 patients during the pandemic, like K10 Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (Andrews and Slade, 2001;Janiri et al, 2020), Perceived Stress Scale (Roberti et al, 2006;Eubank et al, 2021), and Peritraumatic Dissociative Experiences Questionnaire (Marmar et al, 1997;Ranieri et al, 2021). • Questionnaires on COVID-19-specific distress, which are either adapted from existing illness-related questionnaires, like Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (Broadbent et al, 2006;Hubbard et al, 2021) or newly developed, e.g., Fear of COVID-19 Scale (Ahorsu et al, 2020;Bitan et al, 2020), Post-COVID-19 Functional Status Scale (Klok et al, 2020), and COVID-19 Peritraumatic Distress Index (CPDI) (Qiu et al, 2020).…”
