Abstract

This study evaluated the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ) as a tool for measuring worry and anxiety levels among individuals entering treatment for substance use disorders (SUDs). The sample included 75,047 individuals admitted to SUD treatment centers, with assessments conducted weekly. Individuals entering SUD treatment exhibited higher baseline levels of worry; however, worry levels declined over the course of treatment. The PSWQ demonstrated good internal consistency, high test-retest reliability, and good discriminant validity when correlated with measures of depression and stress. The factor structure analysis confirmed that the PSWQ measures the same underlying construct of worry in the SUD treatment population, with a single-factor model showing satisfactory fit. This extends the reach of the PSWQ to the SUD treatment population by reaffirming its reliability, validity, and factor structure, with the expectation of higher levels of worry compared to a non-SUD population at the beginning of treatment, which decline over time.

宾夕法尼亚州立大学焦虑问卷在物质使用障碍治疗人群中的规范性价值和心理测量学性质。

本研究评估了宾夕法尼亚州立大学焦虑问卷（PSWQ）作为测量物质使用障碍（sud）治疗个体担忧和焦虑水平的工具。样本包括75,047名进入SUD治疗中心的患者，每周进行一次评估。接受SUD治疗的个体表现出更高的担忧基线水平；然而，在治疗过程中，焦虑程度有所下降。PSWQ在与抑郁和压力测量相关时表现出良好的内部一致性、高的重测信度和判别效度。因子结构分析证实，PSWQ测量了SUD治疗人群中相同的潜在担忧结构，单因素模型显示了令人满意的拟合。通过重申PSWQ的可靠性、有效性和因素结构，这将PSWQ的范围扩展到SUD治疗人群，与治疗开始时非SUD人群相比，PSWQ的担忧水平更高，随着时间的推移而下降。
