“…All participants were split into three age cohorts for purposes of comparison. Given the whole sample was skewed toward the young (M = 31.23, SD = 8.73), the three age cohorts were labeled younger (less than 26 years old), middle (26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34), and older (35 and above) in this study (a reasonable number was considered in each cohort). All tests of significance were two-tailed, and results were considered significant at p < 0.05.…”

“…The difference in the factor structure across studies may be due to the nature of the samples and the statistical approach [10]. The original PSS-4 had a one-factor solution in college samples [15,16], whereas it had a two-factor solution in community samples [17][18][19][20]30] with the exception of Cohen and Williamson's original study, which found a one-factor solution in a community sample [10]. However, Cohen and Williamson used EFA to test the PSS-4's original factor structure [10], and later researchers used CFA to confirm the structure.…”

(1) Background: The COVID-19 outbreak has created pressure in people’s daily lives, further threatening public health. Thus, it is important to assess people’s perception of stress during COVID-19 for both research and practical purposes. The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) is one of the most widely used instruments to measure perceived stress; however, previous validation studies focused on specific populations, possibly limiting the generalization of results. (2) Methods: This study tested the psychometric properties of three versions of the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS-14, CPSS-10, and CPSS-4) in the Chinese general population during the COVID-19 pandemic. A commercial online survey was employed to construct a nationally representative sample of 1133 adults in Mainland China (548 males and 585 females) during a one-week period. (3) Results: The two-factor (positivity and negativity) solution for the three versions of the CPSS showed a good fit with the data. The CPSS-14 and CPSS-10 had very good reliability and the CPSS-4 showed acceptable reliability. Scores on all three versions of the CPSS were significantly correlated in the expected direction with health-related variables (e.g., depression, anxiety, and perceived COVID-19 risk), supporting the concurrent validity of the CPSS. (4) Conclusions: All three versions of the CPSS appear to be appropriate for use in research with samples of adults in the Chinese general population under the COVID-19 crisis. The CPSS-10 and CPSS-14 both have strong psychometric properties, but the CPSS-10 would have more utility because it is shorter than the CPSS-14. However, the CPSS-4 is an acceptable alternative when administration time is limited.

“…The PSS-10 has indeed exhibited strong psychometric properties, possessing good reliability and construct validity among older adults [15,16], multicultural populations [17], and university students [3,11]. Theoretically, the PSS is a unidimensional measure of perceived stress [14], but analyses of the underlying factor structure of the PSS-10 have been generally inconsistent.…”

“…The Korean version of the PSS-10 (K-PSS-10) has been validated and used in a small number of studies on Korean adults [16,24]. However, to date, no research has been conducted on a sample of Korean university students from the ECE profession to provide data about the PSS-10's factorial structure.…”

OBJECT: The 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) is one of the most widely used psychological instruments for measuring stress perception in practice and research but has sparked some controversy regarding its factor structure. Further, no study has been conducted to date using a sample of Korean university students to test the reliability and validity of the PSS and the factorial structure of this instrument. Likewise, more data on the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the scale (K-PSS-10) are also needed. Hence, the purpose of the present study was to examine the construct validity of the K-PSS-10 among Korean university students. METHODS: A total of 250 university students currently attending the Department of Early Childhood Education (a four-year university curriculum) completed the K-PSS-10. The collected data were subjected to confirmatory factor analysis, which tested three alternative plausible models suggested by the extant literature: single factor, correlated two-factor and bifactor. RESULTS: The results indicated that the bifactor model best fit the data, with one general factor reflecting the overlap across all 10 items, and 2 additional specific factors representing perceived distress (6 negatively worded items) and perceived coping (4 positively worded items). Internal consistencies of the total scale and its two subscales were adequate (α > 0.70). CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study support the use of the K-PSS-10 as a reliable and valid measure to assess perceived stress in a sample of early childhood teacher candidates.

“…Depression was assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) [ 28 ], and anxiety was assessed using the Generalized Anxiety Disorder, 2-item (GAD-2) questionnaire [ 29 ]. Stress was assessed using the 10-level perceived stress scale [ 30 ]. Other measurements (body weight, BMI, and waist circumference) and laboratory tests (blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and blood lipid levels) were obtained at the participating primary care facilities and performed on only a subset of participating patients as judged necessary by the primary care physicians (64/110, 58.2%).…”

Background As the global burden of chronic conditions increases, their effective management is a concern. Although the need for chronic disease management using mobile self-management health care apps is increasing, there are still many barriers to their practical application in the primary care field. Objective This study evaluated the effectiveness of primary care services combining a mobile self-management health care app with human coaching for patients with chronic diseases in the current primary care system. Methods A total of 110 patients (mean age 53.2, SD 9.2 years; 64 of 110, 58.2% female) with hypertension, diabetes, dyslipidemia, or metabolic syndrome who visited one of 17 participating primary care clinics from September to November 2020 were included in this study. All participants recorded data regarding changes in body weight, sleep conditions, quality of life, depression, anxiety, stress, BMI, waist circumference, blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and blood lipids levels. The app user group (n=65) used a mobile self-management health care app with human coaching for 12 weeks, and the control group (n=45) underwent conventional self-managed health care. Results Patients in the app user group reported significantly more weight loss than those in the control group—the body weight of the app user group decreased by 1.43 kg (95% CI –2.07 to –0.79) and that of the control group decreased by 0.13 kg (95% CI –0.67 to 0.41; P=.002). The weight loss was markedly greater after using the app for 9 weeks than that when used for 4 weeks or 5-8 weeks (P=.002). Patients in the app user group reported better sleep quality (P=.04) and duration (P=.004) than those in the control group. Conclusions The combination of primary care clinics and a mobile self-management health care app with human coaching results in better management of chronic conditions. This study shows that the primary care services combining a mobile self-management health care app with human coaching are effective in the current primary care system. An implication of this study is the possibility that a mobile self-management health care app with human coaching is a treatment option in the current primary care system.
