“…Scores between 0-6 represent no anxiety, 7-9 anxiety possible, over 10 anxiety probable. In depression, 0-5.4 represent no depression, 5.5-7.5 depression possible, over 7.5 depression probable and for emotional distress, below 15.5 no emotional distress, and over 15.5 emotional distress probable [33].…”

“…"I feel as if I am slowed down"), and a total score for emotional distress can be obtained. It has a Likert scale format (0 to 3) and has shown adequate internal consistency (0.68 to 0.93) in other studies (Quintana et al, 2003;Valero-Moreno et al, 2019) and in this (α anxiety =0.75; α depression =0.66; α emotional distress =0.89).…”

“…An overall score for emotional distress is obtained by adding the anxiety and depression scales. The questionnaire has been used in adolescents and young people (Saez-Flores et al, 2018) (from 10 to 23 years old), and validated for pediatric samples (Valero-Moreno et al, 2019) obtaining adequate psychometric properties (Mihalca and Pilecka, 2015;Valero-Moreno et al, 2019). Scores between 0 and 6 represent no anxiety, 7-9 possible anxiety, and scores of over 10 probable anxiety.…”

“…Scores between 0 and 6 represent no anxiety, 7-9 possible anxiety, and scores of over 10 probable anxiety. In depression, 0-5.4 represents no depression, 5.5-7.5 possible depression, over 7.5 probable depression and for emotional distress, below 15.5 is no emotional distress, and over 15.5 emotional is probable distress (Valero-Moreno et al, 2019). The psychometric properties in the present study seem to be adequate: χ 2 (df) = 98.76(40); S-Bχ 2 (df) = 81.21(40); S-Bχ 2 /df = 2.03; CFI = 0.97; IFI = 0.97; RMSEA = 0.04 (IC = 0.03-0.05); α = 0.78 for anxiety, α = 0.68 for depression and α = 0.82 for emotional distress.…”
