Abstract

Objective To develop and validate the COVID-19 Related Event Stress Reaction Questionnaire (CRESRQ) based on the Stanford Acute Stress Reaction Questionnaire (SASRQ), and to make the CRESRQ suitable for evaluating the general population's stress reaction on COVID-19 related events. Methods The items were screened for adaptation by the variability method, the total correlation coefficient method, the Cronbach α coefficient method, the factor analysis method utilizing data of 1162 cases collected by the SASRQ during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, as well as by the results of the structured cognitive interviews. Validity and reliability evaluation was applied utilizing data of 2281 cases in 2022. Results (1) The 20-item CRESRQ was developed by 4 methods of data analysis and structured cognitive interviews. (2) The three common factors of the 20 items utilizing the exploratory factor analysis were extracted to divide the dimensions of the questionnaire. The three-factor structure was named as avoidance and re-experiencing, physiological and emotional responses, as well as social alienation based on the items’ content. The three-factor and the overall Cronbach α coefficient were 0.839–0.931. (3) The confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency evaluation revealed that the three-factor structure was stable and had good convergent/discrimination validity and internal consistency. Conclusion The procedure of developing CRESRQ is standardized and the performance of CRESRQ is acceptable, which better reflect the general population's stress reaction on Covid-19 related events. In future, the general population's stress reaction to unpredicted public health emergencies can be measured by the questionnaire after adaptive evaluation.
