Work and caregiving roles can be associated with elevated worry and tension that may affect functioning. The Occupational Anxiety Assessment is a brief self-report measure designed to screen perceived anxiety and emotional discomfort in role-related contexts (Spielberger). It contains 40 items and typically requires about 8 minutes to complete.
The instrument may be administered in versions tailored to occupational and caregiving settings, with a core scale assessing general emotional comfort and additional content focusing on role-specific concerns. Results are commonly used to support clinical formulation, guide discussion of stressors, and inform decisions about follow-up assessment or intervention. The Occupational Anxiety Assessment is not a stand-alone diagnostic tool and should be interpreted in the context of other clinical information.
