“…Individual and group differences in FSAS scores may reveal subgroups with psychological treatment needs. For instance, female patients consistently report higher levels of FSAS shock anxiety than men . Interestingly, female patients in a Japanese sample reported higher levels of shock anxiety but also exhibited decreases in FSAS shock anxiety over time, whereas male patients exhibited increases in shock anxiety over time .…”

“…FSAS has demonstrated good discriminant and convergent validity as reflected by negative correlations with general emotional wellbeing, general health, and quality of life and positive correlations with quantity and disruptiveness of ICD shocks. 9 Further, the FSAS has demonstrated utility in diverse, international populations including Chinese, Dutch, Turkish, Australian, and Japanese ICD patient samples [12][13][14][15][16] as well as good validity and reliability (Cronbach = 0.87) in Turkish populations. 17 The average rating on FSAS items is 1.5, between "not at all" and "rarely.…”

Introduction Approximately 44% of patients with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) experience some form of shock anxiety, associated with cardiac fear, physical inactivity, and increased morbidity and mortality. The Florida Shock Anxiety Scale (FSAS) was created to measure ICD‐specific fears for a more precise target of patient psychologic distress and potential need for intervention. The current paper describes results from a focused literature review of studies using FSAS over the past 15 years, with the aim of summarizing its current reliability and validity, associated outcomes, and potential future directions for its clinical and research implementation. Methods In this review, 26 peer‐reviewed articles were analyzed and selected from an in‐depth literature search of two electronic databases. Results The reliability and validity of FSAS has been upheld since its initial validation and remain positive. The majority of studies used FSAS as an assessment tool to evaluate a clinical need for psychologic support or psychoeducation. The most frequently reported predictors of FSAS shock anxiety include experience of shock, appropriate and inappropriate, and number of shocks experienced. Common correlates of higher FSAS scores include lower device‐related knowledge, lower perceived support from healthcare providers, greater posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, and negative attitudes about device dependency. Younger age and female gender are also associated with increased shock anxiety. Conclusions Since 2006, FSAS has been widely represented as a valid and reliable assessment tool for quantifying device‐related anxiety in ICD recipients in diverse populations. Future directions for FSAS should explore its potential role in support of measurement‐based care.

“…Researchers have also studied the effect of device acceptance, perceived support from healthcare professionals, race (African Americans scoring higher on FSAS), and number of shocks experienced (appropriate or inappropriate). Moreover, secondary prevention was a consistent risk factor across multiple studies . The success of the FSAS even prompted the validation of a German version by Ritzka et al, which again showed the importance of both consequence and trigger stimuli .…”
