“…The PSS has exhibited convergent validity and discriminant validity, with scores on the PSS having been shown to be significantly correlated with burnout, overall life stress, depression, and anxiety . The instrument has also shown adequate test‐retest reliability and satisfactory internal consistency, typically ranging from 0.72 to 0.86 . For the current study, Cronbach's α was acceptable ( α = .70).…”

The instrument has also shown adequate test‐retest reliability and satisfactory internal consistency, typically ranging from 0.72 to 0.86 .…”
