The Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS; Zung, 1971) is a 20-item self-report questionnaire measuring anxiety symptoms over the past week. Participants are asked to rank each item on a 4-point Likert scale (1 – None or a little of the time to 4 – Most of the time). Items assess various domains of anxiety, including worry, physiological sensations, and nervousness. Example items include “I feel more nervous and anxious than usual.” and “I feel calm and can sit still easily.” Some items are reverse-coded and a total sum score is calculated ranging from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater anxious symptoms. The SAS has demonstrated good internal consistency in previous studies (Bakula et al., 2019; Olatunji, Deacon, Abramowitz, & Tolin, 2006), and reliability was excellent in the present study (α = .91).

Anxiety was assessed using the Zung Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). The SAS is a 20-item self-report scale. The patients rated the degree to which each statement applied to them on a Likert-type scale of 1 to 4. A total score was obtained by summing the ratings of the 20 items, which was multiplied by 1.25 to create a standard score. A standard cutoff score of 50 is commonly used to diagnose anxiety. The standard scores were classified as normal (25–49), mild anxiety (50–59), moderate anxiety (60–69), and severe anxiety (>70) (Zung et al. 1990). The Zung SDS and SAS have been verified in the Chinese general population and for various medical illnesses (H. Li et al. 2016; Nie et al. 2019; Ren et al. 2020).
