dc.description.abstractThere is a need for a valid and reliable measurement tool that will detect the psychological symptoms of health care workers in the epidemic and pandemic periods that have been effective worldwide in recent years. This study has aimed to investigate the validity and reliability of the Stress and Anxiety to Viral Epidemics-9 items Scale (SAVE-9) in Turkish health care professionals. The study was carried out with 150 health care professionals. All participants were asked to complete the SAVE-9, Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), Brief Resilience Scale (BRS). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated. Also, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to evaluate the factor structure. The SAVE-9 scores positively correlated with the PHQ-9, GAD-7, and negatively correlated with the BRS. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported two-factor structure similar to the original scale. The first factor consists of five items (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8), and the second factor consists of three items (6, 7, 9). The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found as 0.77. The Turkish version of SAVE-9 is a valid and reliable tool for Turkish health care professionals.en_US
