CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this scale measure?

It screens for the presence and severity of anxiety-related symptoms. It also indicates how much these symptoms interfere with daily functioning.

How long does it take to complete?

Most respondents complete it in about 4 minutes. Completion time may vary based on reading speed and current symptom level.

How are items rated?

Each item is rated based on how strongly the symptom is present and how much it disrupts life. Responses should reflect typical experience over the period specified in the instructions.

How should the results be interpreted?

Higher scores suggest more severe and potentially clinically significant anxiety. Results support screening and monitoring but do not establish a diagnosis on their own.

WHAT THE TEST MEASURES

About This Assessment

Shihan's Anxiety Self-Assessment Scale, SPRAS Test

Sheehan Anxiety Self-Rating Scale (SPRAS) Test - Symptoms and Signs

anxiety disorder uneasiness

This self-report measure is used to screen for the presence and severity of anxiety symptoms in clinical and outpatient settings. The Sheehan Anxiety Self-Rating Scale (SPRAS) provides a brief, structured format for rating how much common anxiety-related symptoms are experienced and how much they interfere with daily functioning.

Developed by Sheehan, D., it consists of 35 items and typically takes about 4 minutes to complete. Scores can support initial case identification and help guide decisions about the need for further diagnostic evaluation.

In addition to baseline screening, the Sheehan Anxiety Self-Rating Scale (SPRAS) may be used for symptom monitoring over time, such as tracking changes during treatment or periods of increased stress. Results should be interpreted in clinical context and are not a stand-alone diagnosis.
