“…Originally designed in English and Italian, this questionnaire has been translated into multiple languages and validated in different populations. The PSQ’s authors granted us permission to introduce this instrument and authorized the final version in China 36. Psychometric evaluation of a Chinese version of the PSQ (C-PSQ) was recently validated and applied.…”

“…The higher the total score is, the greater the level of symptomatology. Using the translation approaches mentioned above, the Chinese version of the GADS has been reported elsewhere and showed strong correlation with the C-PSQ only in nursing students 36. The GADS presented a simple, quick and accurate method of screening depression and anxiety in the general population.…”

Background Self-compassion has been regarded as a key psychological construct and a protective factor of mental health status. The focus of the present study was to adapt the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) into Chinese, assess the validity and reliability of the measure and test measurement invariance (MI) across nursing students and medical workers. Methods The current study assessed the psychometric properties and invariance of the SCS-Short Form (SCS-SF) in two samples of 2676 from nursing students and medical workers. For construct validity, confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses (CFAs and EFAs) were conducted. Using Perceived Stress Questionnaire , Short Form-8 Health Survey (SF-8) and Goldberg Anxiety and Depression Scale, we evaluated concurrent validity and convergent/divergent validity. For reliability, internal consistency and test–retest analysis were employed. Multi-group analyses were conducted to examine MI of the different SCS-models across populations. Results CFA showed that the proposed six-factor second‐order model could not be replicated and the six-factor first‐order model was a reasonable to mediocre fitting model in both samples. EFA supported a three-factor structure which consisted of one positive and two negative factors. CFA confirmed that the hypothesized three-factor structure with 10 items ultimately was considered as the optimal model on the fitted results. The SCS-SF‐10 (10 items form) also demonstrated acceptable internal consistency and test–retest reliability, as well as strong concurrent validity with measures of stress perception, health status, anxious and depressive symptoms. Convergent/divergent validity was not satisfactory. Multi-group CFAs provided support for the validity of the established models. Conclusion The Chinese version of the SCS-SF‐10 has sound psychometric properties and can be applied to efficiently assess self-compassion in Chinese-speaking populations. The current study contributes to the identification and measurement of self-compassion after adversities.

“…When visual acuity was different between the two eyes, the better visual acuity was considered. External eye examination, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, Goldmann applanation tonometry, and dilated funduscopy were performed, as described previously (2,(15)(16)(17).…”

“…Furthermore, neither study analyzed systematically the potential relationship of stress and uveitic disease activity. The PSQ is a validated and frequently used instrument to measure subjective stress that was originally designed in English and has been translated to Italian, German, Spanish, and Chinese, with validation in populations such as psychiatric inpatients and outpatients, nursing students, health workers, psychosomatic patients, and health adults (11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18). Therefore, the aim of our study was to measure for the first time perceived stress levels in adult uveitis patients using the PSQ, and to examine their association with anatomic location, etiology, age, visual acuity, and disease activity.…”

Background: The aim of this study was to examine perceived stress levels in adult patients with uveitis. Patients and Methods: One hundred seventy-three adult consecutive uveitis patients (age range 18 to 85 years) were analyzed in a cross-sectional design for their perceived stress, according to the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (PSQ). Stress levels were classified into normal stress, moderate stress, and high stress. Results: In the majority of uveitis patients a normal stress level (82%) within the last 2 years was detected. In a subgroup analysis, perceived stress of the patients with active uveitis compared with patients with non-active uveitis was significantly higher within the last 2 years (n=80 active/n = 45 non-active; p = 0.005). Conclusions: Overall 18% of the uveitis patient had raised perceived stress, similar to the general population but patients with active uveitis were significantly more stressed. Therefore, consideration of stress levels may be important in the therapy of uveitis patients.

“…However, until recently, there was no recognized scale used to evaluate the stress of nursing students in Mainland China. The Chinese version of the Perceived Stress Questionnaire (CPSQ) has been confirmed as valid and reliable instruments in nursing students [ 12 ], but the CPSQ was not widely used in China. The quality of measurement tools used internationally still needed to be further developed.…”

Background. The development and transformation of nursing within professional tertiary education have exerted a great pressure and challenge upon nursing students. Stress experienced by nursing students is a common precursor of psychological distress and attrition. However, no scale is specifically used to evaluate the sources of stress experienced by nursing students in Mainland China. Aims and Objective. This study is aimed at testing and comparing the reliability and validity including sensitivity and specificity of two nursing students’ stress instruments, the Chinese version of Student Nurse Stress Index Scale (SNSI-CHI), and the Stressors in Student Nursing Scale (SINS-CN) in Chinese nursing students, and describing the stress status of nursing students in China. Methods. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in two nursing schools in Henan Province from August 2017 to January 2018. Data were collected by using a questionnaire comprising the Chinese version of SNSI (SNSI-CHI), the Chinese version of SINS (SINS-CN), and the Chinese Perceived Stress Scale (CPSS). Homogeneity and stability, content, construct and concurrent validity, and sensitivity and specificity were assessed. Results. The Cronbach’s alpha (α) of SNSI-CHI was 0.90, and the item-to-total correlations ranged from 0.35 to 0.66. The Cronbach’s α of SINS-CN was 0.93, and the item-to-total correlations ranged from 0.19 to 0.61. The findings of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) confirmed a good construct validity of SNSI-CHI and SINS-CN. The Pearson’s rank correlation coefficients, between total scores of SNSI-CHI and CPSS and SINS-CN and CPSS, were assessed to 0.38 ( P < 0.01 ) and 0.39 ( P < 0.01 ), respectively. Regarding the CPSS, as the criterion, the cut-points of SNSI-CHI and SINS-CN for the area under the receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve were 0.77and 0.66, respectively. Conclusion. Both scales are valid and reliable for evaluating the source of stress of student nurses in China. Each has its own characteristics, but the SNSI-CHI demonstrated marginal advantage over the SINS-CN. The SNSI-CHI is short, is easily understood, and with clear dimension for the nursing students, and the SNSI-CHI is more acceptable for the users in China.
