Abstract
To measure the agreement between two modes of the state anxiety (A-State) scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, 67 plastic or reconstructive surgery patients completed a Dutch version of the A-State scale (DY) twice, both pre- and postoperatively. The instructions were “How do you feel right now,” followed by “How do you feel today.” Inconsistencies were found between the “now” version and “today” version on both measuring occasions.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
