Psychological distress
时间窗: 6 months
Psychological distress was measured using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), a frequently used self-report tool for assessing symptoms of anxiety and depression. The K10 scale consists of 10 items, with each item rated on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from "none of the time" (1) to "all of the time" (5), yielding a total score between 10 and 50, indicating that higher scores signify greater psychological distress. The results are commonly interpreted using categorized thresholds: scores between 10 and 19 indicate a low likelihood of psychological distress, 20-24 suggest mild distress, 25-29 indicate moderate distress, and scores between 30 and 50 reflect severe psychological distress.
