Validity and reliability of the COVID‐19 Anxiety Syndrome Scale in Canadian dentists

Abstract: BackgroundThe COVID‐19 pandemic has resulted in a high level of mental health problems for the population worldwide including healthcare workers. Several studies have assessed these using measurements for anxiety for general populations. The COVID‐19 Anxiety Syndrome Scale (C‐19ASS) is a self‐report measure developed to assess maladaptive forms of coping with COVID‐19 (avoidance, threat monitoring and worry) among a general adult population in the United States. We used it in a prospective cohort study of COVI… Show more

“…We have previously investigated and reported the internal, convergent and cross-cultural validity of the C-19ASS, demonstrating the instrument works well with Canadian dentists. 29 Given the longitudinal nature of our work we wanted to also investigate the instrument's responsiveness to change during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study has built on our previous work by demonstrating the instrument's sensitivity to change, which is necessary for instruments to be used in longitudinal studies, particularly given the cross-sectional nature of previous psychometric validation studies.…”

“…A widely used instrument, the COVID-19 Anxiety Syndrome Scale 23 was initially developed to reliably assess the presence of COVID-19 anxiety syndrome features in a general US adult population. Later, it was validated in several countries including Iran, 24 Italy, 25 Indonesia, 26 Brazil, 27 Saudi Arabia 28 , Canada 29 and Greece. 30 A previous study in Canada has evaluated the validity and reliability of the C-19ASS in English and French among Canadian dentists and it can be used to evaluate COVID-19 related anxiety in this population.…”

“…Since the C-19ASS was first published in English (Nikčevi c & Spada, 2020), several countries have welcomed it, including Iran (Persian; Akbari et al, 2022), Italy (Italian;Mansueto et al, 2022), Indonesia (Indonesian; Muthiah et al, 2022), Brazil (Portuguese;Coelho et al, 2022), Saudi Arabia (Alhakami et al, 2023), and Canada (Seth et al, 2023). It has been shown, as a measure, to have a strong structure (confirmed two factors), convergent (with functional impairment as measured by work and social adjustment; Mundt et al, 2002), and divergent (from generalized anxiety, Akbari et al, 2022; negative affect and coronavirus anxiety scale; Lee et al, 2020) validity and incremental validity in explaining additional variance in the work and social adjustment scale (Mundt et al, 2002), and coronavirus anxiety scale (Lee et al, 2020).…”
