MeasureTime frameDescription
State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)The research period for a participant takes approximately 30 minuteState Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) was designed to identify individuals' persistent anxiety and the level of anxiety felt towards the situation they are in. A total score between 20 and 80 can be obtained from both scales. Measuring ranges; 20-39 points are considered mild, 40-59 points are considered moderate, 60-79 points are considered severe anxiety, and 80 points are considered panic.
Patient's Perception of Nursing Care ScaleThe research period for a participant takes approximately 30 minuteThe Anxiety Inventory was designed to identify individuals' constant anxiety and the level of anxiety they feel about their current situation.
