“…for the POMS). Moreover, systematically comparing the psychometric properties of each measure seems rather difficult, since they have to be retrieved from various and sometimes scattered sources, such as the manuals and a set of psychometric papers addressing different combinations of instruments, with sometimes a lack of consistency across analysis techniques, sample types and research domains (e.g., Chlan, 2004;Stern et al, 1997; Millar et al, 1995). Ideally, psychometric assessments of the four instruments in the same samples, with systematic variations of the contexts, would need to be carried out in such a way to obtain comparative information at the psychometric level.…”

State anxiety: construct and measuresThe compelling observation that specific unpleasant emotional conditions, characterized by short-lived feelings of tension or apprehension, are actually prone to fluctuations depending on external contingencies in the environment was first put forward by Cattell (1966;Cattell & Scheirer, 1958& 1963 in the second half of the last century, when he proposed the distinction between state anxiety and a more stable personality trait (referred to as trait anxiety), the latter being related to the tendency to experience feelings of tension and worrisome thoughts. Since this pioneering work, although no consensus has been reached about the true nature of state anxiety as a psychological or physiological construct, this concept has been further elaborated and refined by Spielberger (1966Spielberger ( & 1976 at a theoretical level, and it has been implicated in a myriad of empirical studies that have helped delineate and better characterize the numerous psychological reactions to stressors in humans (e.g., , or the physiological activations of the nervous system triggered by external or internal emotional stimuli (e.g., Swartzman, Edelberg, & Kemman, 1990;de Rooij, Schene, Phillips, & Roseboom, 2010). Levels of trait anxiety are considered crucial for people's successful adaptation to the environment, and have been shown to influence a multitude of core psychological components, including well-being and mental health (e.g., Duncko, Makatsori, Fickova, Selco, & Jezova, 2006;Bruk-Lee, Khoury, Nixon, Goh, & Spector, 2009). Consequently, good instruments for measuring stable inter-individual differences in anxiety proneness, considered as a personality trait, have been developed in the affective sciences literature (e.g., Cattel & Scheirer, 1963;Spielberger, Gorsuch, & Lushene, 1970), with the underlying idea that such trait is long lasting and mostly stable across time and situations. At the same time, a 4 growing number of studies suggested that trait characteristics of anxiety not always accurately predicted psychological responses in specific situations (e.g., , nor did they always show a straightforward relationship with the magnitude of anxiety fluctuations over time in response to external events (see Spielberger, 1983;. In these cases, a less stable measure of anxiety, able to capture these short-lived variations in the state of the individual would be desirable.In order to appropriately meet these theoretical and empirical considerations, several instruments have been developed over the years, providing alternative instruments for measuring state-dependent fluctuations in anxiety, or more broadly, in affect or mood. for the POMS). Moreover, systematically comparing the psychometric properties of each measure seems rather difficult, since they have to be retrieved from various and sometimes scattered sources, such as the manuals and a set of psychometric papers addressing different combinations of instruments, with sometimes a lack of consistency across analysis techniques, sample...

“…A total of 18 articles met the inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Of the 18 articles, 7 were studies on the validation of instruments [29][30][31][32][33][34][35] and 11 were studies that used relatively reliable and valid instruments. 25,[36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45] Care Setting and Patients' Characteristics Table 1 summarizes the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the samples.…”

“…25,31 Choosing an instrument to measure anxiety requires great care to find a balance between the instrument's psychometric properties and the possibility of using it with ICU patients, who may have difficulty with more complex instruments because of physical and/or cognitive difficulties. In most of the studies 25,29,30,[32][33][34]38,40,43 reviewed that included information on the way the questionnaires were completed, patients (including cardiac patients) were helped by an interviewer. Participants completed the questionnaires themselves in just 1 study, 35 and these patients were about to be discharged.…”

Objective To review studies of anxiety in critically ill patients admitted to an intensive care unit to describe the level of anxiety and synthesize the psychometric properties of the instruments used to measure anxiety. Methods The CUIDEN, IME, ISOC, CINAHL, MEDLINE, and PSYCINFO databases for 1995 to 2005 were searched. The search focused on 3 concepts: anxiety, intensive care, and mechanical ventilation for the English-language databases and ansiedad, cuidados intensivos, and ventilación mecánica for the Spanish-language databases. Information was extracted from 18 selected articles on the level of anxiety experienced by patients and the psychometric properties of the instruments used to measure anxiety. Results Moderate levels of anxiety were reported. Levels were higher in women than in men, and higher in patients undergoing positive pressure ventilation regardless of sex. Most multi-item instruments had high coefficients of internal consistency. The reliability of instruments with only a single item was not demonstrated, even though the instruments had moderate-to-high correlations with other measurements. Conclusion Midlength scales, such the anxiety subscale of the Brief Symptom Inventory or the shortened state version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory are best for measuring anxiety in critical care patients.
