The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory Scale
时间窗: Anxiety levels in women were measured using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) both before and after the embryo transfer procedure. The assessments were conducted within 5 to 10 minutes of each other to capture the immediate impact of the procedure
The scale is a self-assessment questionnaire and, consists of 40 items rated on 4- point Likert scale. The scale consists of two sub-dimensions: the "state anxiety" has 20 items and is used to determine what is felt at a specific moment under certain conditions, and the "trait anxiety" has 20 items and is used to determine what has been felt in the last seven days. The scale includes reversed and non-reversed items. The score obtained from the reversed items is subtracted from the score obtained from the non-reversed items. Then, 50 points are added to this score for the state anxiety dimension and 35 points for the trait anxiety dimension, giving the total score. The score obtained from the two sub-dimensions ranges between 20 and 80. Higher scores indicate that the anxiety level is high
