Perceived Stress Scale
It was developed by Cohen, Kamarck and Mermelste in 1983 to determine the perceived stress level of participants. The scale was adapted to Turkish by Bilge, Öğce, Genç and Oran (2007), and the Cronbach alpha value was found to be 0.82 in the reliability study. In the scale, some situations that include the feelings and thoughts that individuals may have experienced during the past month are given. Individuals marked the situation in each item by thinking about how much they lived during the last month. The scale is five-point Likert type. A high total score means a high level of perceived stress. In the reliability study of the scale, Cronbach's alpha value was found to be 0.86.
