Abstract

Objective: Anxiety measurement tools have been developed for major health-threatening diseases such as SARS and MERS. There is no specific measurement tool for measuring the anxiety caused by Corona. The purpose of this study was to validate the Corona-Related Anxiety Scale in the Iranian sample. Method: The research method was a descriptive correlational. 308 individuals participated in the study through online recall. An 18-item Corona-Related Anxiety inventory was used to collect the data. The data were analyzed by using Guttman's λ 2 and Cronbach's alpha internal consistency method. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using Lisrel-8. 8 software was used to evaluate the tool construct validity. To standardize the raw scores, they were converted to standard T scores and percentile rank using Jmetrik-4. 1. 1 software and were prepared as normative tables. Findings: The Guttman's λ 2 value for the whole questionnaire was obtained as (λ = 0. 922), Cronbach's alpha coefficient for psychological symptoms as (α = 0. 879), physical symptoms as (α = 0. 861), and for the whole questionnaire as (α = 0. 919). The data of this research fit the two-factor model properly. Standard scores tables were plotted, and the range of scores of the questionnaire factors and total score of Corona-Related Anxiety severity was divided into three domains: mild, moderate, and severe. Conclusion: Corona-Related Anxiety inventory has good validity in preliminary Validation and can be used as a valid and scientific tool for measuring Corona-Related Anxiety.
