Validity and Reliability Study of the Occupational Anxiety Scale for Health Services Students: Validity Study

Abstract

Anxiety can be defined as the state of being worried and uneasy about a personal situation, whether it will happen or not be possible at the moment or in the future. In other words, anxiety is a mental and physical reaction and the uneasiness experienced by the person, even though there is no substantial dan-ger. 1 Although anxiety and fear are always thought to have the same meaning, on the contrary, the cause of fear is obvious and short-lived; anxiety, on the other hand, moves people with assumptions, although the source is not clear. 2 Anxiety is based on discomfort, tension, anxiety, and fear. 3
