uneasiness
stress level

This brief self-report measure is designed to screen stress and anxiety responses among healthcare personnel during viral epidemic conditions. The Stress and Anxiety to Viral Epidemics-9 (SAVE-9) can be used to quickly gauge the severity of epidemic-related emotional strain in clinical staff.

The instrument consists of 9 items and typically takes about 2 minutes to complete. Items focus on concerns and reactions associated with infection risk and work demands in the context of a viral outbreak.

Results from the Stress and Anxiety to Viral Epidemics-9 (SAVE-9) may help inform follow-up assessment and guide supportive planning for individuals or teams when elevated distress is identified. Scores should be interpreted within the broader clinical context and in conjunction with other relevant information.
