臺灣COVID-19疫情煩心量表的開發與驗證

Development and validation of the fear & stress of COVID-19 scale in Taiwan

COVID-19引起傳染病的全球傳播，本研究參考過去開發有效且可靠的自評工具經驗，對應臺灣對於感染者接觸史與旅遊史的疫調經驗，發展COVID-19疫情煩心量表作為自我評估的工具，且揭示個人對COVID-19恐懼與壓力對生活滿意度的影響。研究結果顯示，COVID-19疫情煩心量表提供良好信效度檢驗證據，並證實COVID-19疫情煩心程度越高，生活滿意度越低。本研究結果也進一步發現，COVID-19疫情煩心量表具有跨性別的恆等性，且成年女性的恐慌、緊張、煩躁等「情緒反應」明顯高於男性。

 

COVID-19, an infectious disease, has spread globally. This study refers to past research experience to develop a valid and reliable self-assessment tool, taking into consideration Taiwan’s special experience in tracking the contact history and travel history of people infected with COVID-19. This study develops a self-assessment tool for evaluating the fear & stress of COVID-19 scale and examines the impact of personal COVID-19 fear and stress on life satisfaction. The results of the study show that the fear & stress of COVID-19 scale provides good reliability and validity test evidence, and confirms that the higher the degree of personal COVID-19 fear & stress, the lower the life satisfaction. The results of this study also further revealed that the factor structure of the scale is gender-invariant, and women’s "emotional reactions" such as panic, nervousness, and irritability are significantly higher than those of men.
