DESCRIPTION:

Epidemic / Pandemic Stressometer Scale (EPSS) it is developed to measure stress in case of any type of disease which spread in an epidemic or pandemic form. It is an inevitable part of human life which can be expressed by the manifestation of fear, anxiety, tension, worries etc. Higher the score more will be stress and lower the score lesser will be stress. Chronic stress increases the risk of developing loneliness, depression, panic attacks, psychotic symptoms and idea of suicide in individuals. The result on this scale will be quite helpful in careful monitoring and will support counselling interventions.
