Change in symptoms of individual stress level using the Perceived Stress Scale |
The Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) is a classic stress assessment instrument. The questions in this scale ask about feelings and thoughts during the last month. Each question has five response options ranging in value from null to four (0=never; 1=almost never; 2=sometimes; 3=fairly often; 4=very often). To find the total raw score, sum the values of the response to each question (reverse code items 4, 5, 7a and 8). Individual scores on the PSS can range from 0 to 40 with higher scores indicating higher perceived stress. |

Change in depression, anxiety and stres using the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale |
The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) is a 21 items scale designed to measure depression, anxiety, and stress. The instrument comprises three subscales: the emotional states of depression, anxiety, and stress. Each question has four response options ranging in value from null to four (0= did not apply to me at all; 1= applied to me to some degree, or some of the time; 2= applied to me a considerable degree or a good part of time; 3= applied to me very much or most of the time). To find the total raw score, sum the values of the response to each question for each of subscale (scores will need to be multiplied by 2 to calculate the final score). The lowest possible raw score is 0 and the highest possible raw score is 42 for each subscale. A higher score represents more of the concept being measured. |
