| Popis: | The Worry Scale is a brief, unidimensional scale with good reliability and concurrent validity that assesses the emotional state related to anxiety and mood in mildly demented individuals as well as nondemented adults. .Data were obtained from 182 individuals enrolled in the Washington University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center Patient Registry. The scale can help counselors identify individuals who are in distress and devise interventions for them. It can also be used to provide information to caregivers about the emotional state of the patient. |
