Abstract

It has been shown that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has negative effects on individuals’ mental health. It has been seen that various measurement tools used in evaluating these effects tend to be uni-dimensional and have limited psychometric evaluation. This study aims to show the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of COVID Stress Scales (CSS), which evaluates the distress associated with COVID-19 in six different dimensions. The sample of the study consists of 457 volunteering adults who met the inclusion criteria via an online form. Sociodemographic data form, CSS, Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21), and Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCS) were applied to the participants. The scale had a Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.947. Total-item correlation coefficients of the scale items were found to range between 0.381 and 0.730 (p
