The Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) is one of the instruments most used in research and clinic today. In its construction, one of the objectives was to evaluate anxiety symptoms that are not usually evident in depressive disorders, which is why it is a relevant test to make a differential diagnosis. The objective of this study was to adapt the BAI to adult popula- tion of Buenos Aires.Methods: A direct translation of the inventory and then an expert judgment to assess the content validity were carried out. The discrimination capacity of the items was analyzed, and the structural validity of the test were evaluated according to different models found in the literature.

    Islamic Religiosity, Depression and Anxiety among Muslim Cancer Patients Nadzirah Ahmad Basri Kyushu University, Japan Gan Chun Hong The National University of Malaysia, Malaysia Ng Lai Oon Sunway University, Malaysia Shuzo Kumagai Kyushu University, Japan Abstract Active religious practice is central to Muslim livelihood. Among Muslims, this religious engagement is rarely studied with regards to its association in coping with critical illnesses. This study investigated the association between Islamic religiosity with depression and anxiety in Muslim cancer patients. Fifty-nine cancer patients recruited from a Malaysian public hospital and a cancer support group completed the Muslim Religiosity and Personality Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory in July and August 2010. Islamic religiosity score, obtained from the sum of subscale scores of Islamic worldview and religious personality represents a greater understanding and practice of Islam in a comprehensive manner. Results yielded a significant negative correlation between Islamic religiosity score with both depression and anxiety. Depression was also found to be negatively associated with religious personality subscale. Older patients scored significantly higher on both Islamic worldview and religious personality whereas patients with higher education scored higher on Islamic worldview. Married patients scored significantly higher scores on religious personality than the single patients. Results provided an insight into the significant role of religious intervention which has huge potentials to improve the psychological health of cancer patients particularly Muslims in Malaysia. Research implication includes the call for professionals to meet the spiritual needs of Muslim cancer patients and incorporating religious components in their treatment, especially in palliative care. Keywords: Religiosity, spirituality, depression, anxiety, Muslim cancer patients Introduction and Literature Review Cancer is among the most common of all critical illnesses leading to death.

Gender Differences in Anxiety 2 Abstract The current investigation sought to determine whether any observable gender differences existed in the expression of symptoms, cognitions, and sensitivity towards anxiety for a nonclinical sample of 50 males and 50 females, matched for age and social desirability response bias. To investigate this, a between groups study was employed which compared the male and female groups on the Beck Anxiety Inventory (Beck & Steer, 1993); Catastrophic Cognitions Questionnaire –Modified (Khawaja, Oei & Banglioni, 1994); Anxiety Sensitivity Index (Reiss, Peterson, Gurskey & McNally, 1986); and Marlowe- Crowne Social Desirability Scale (Crowne & Marlowe, 1960). Multivariate analyses of variance revealed that females reported higher concern than males regarding the cognitive misinterpretation of the symptoms and beliefs of anxiety.

    The Assessment of Depression and Anxiety Following Myocardial Infarction By Beth Sheridan, RN, BSN A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Nursing The University of Michigan-Flint April 2007 Approved: Chairperson: 5VcLwi3r ^ f Janet Bamfather^rhD, RN - Date Committee Member: -J H ~ / - & 7 Thomas Schaal, PhD, APRN, BC Date Abstract Each year in the United States, approximately 1.1 million persons experience an acute myocardial infarction. Sixty-five percent of these patients report experiencing symptoms of depression with major depression being present in 15 to 22% of patients. Persons who are depressed and/or anxious following myocardial infarction have a 3.5 times greater risk of death than patients who are not depressed and have cardiovascular disease. OBJECTIVES: To determine what effect weekly telephone follow-up phone calls have on levels of depression and anxiety post myocardial infarction. METHODS: Twenty seven male and female patients post-myocardial infarction patients were recruited and follow-up data were collected at 6 weeks post-discharge. Measures included the Beck Depression Inventory and the State Trait Anxiety Inventory. In addition, study participants assigned to the intervention group received once weekly phone calls for 6 weeks. RESULTS: There was no significant difference between the two groups in levels of depression over time. There was, however, a significant decrease in levels of depression in both groups over time. Levels of state anxiety remained the same in both groups over time. There was a significant difference between the groups in terms of trait anxiety, with the control group showing consistently higher levels of trait anxiety than the intervention group at both time points.

A primary care study in The Netherlands study of depression and anxiety (NESDA) Anna DT Muntingh1,2,3,4*, Christina M van der Feltz-Cornelis 1,4,5, Harm WJ van Marwijk2,3, Philip Spinhoven 6,7, Brenda WJH Penninx 2,7,8,9 and Anton JLM van Balkom 2,8 Abstract Background: Appropriate management of anxiety disorders in primary care requires clinical assessment and monitoring of the severity of the anxiety. This study focuses on the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) as a severity indicator for anxiety in primary care patients with different anxiety disorders (social phobia, panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, agoraphobia or generalized anxiety disorder), depressive disorders or no disorder (controls). Methods: Participants were 1601 primary care patients participating in the Netherlands Study of Depression and Anxiety (NESDA). Regression analyses were used to compare the mean BAI scores of the different diagnostic groups and to correct for age and gender. Results: Patients with any anxiety disorder had a significantly higher mean score than the controls. A significantly higher score was found for patients with panic disorder and agoraphobia compared to patients with agoraphobia only or social phobia only. BAI scores in patients with an anxiety disorder with a co-morbid anxiety disorder and in patients with an anxiety disorder with a co-morbid depressive disorder were significantly higher than BAI scores in patients with an anxiety disorder alone or patients with a depressive disorder alone.

The present study investigates the role of metacognitions and worry in the association between tinnitus distress, anxiety, and depression. A cross-sectional study was carried out with a sample of tinnitus-outpatients who completed the Tinnitus-Handicap Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, Metacognition Questionnaire-30, Penn-State-Worry-Questionnaire. Associations of metacognitions, worries, tinnitus distress, anxiety and depression were investigated using structural equation models (SEMs). A sample of n = 107 patients was included in the study. In the first SEM, tinnitus distress significantly predicted depression (β = 0.68, p < 0.001) and anxiety (β = 0.47, p < 0.001). In the second model, worries and meta-cognitions were added as moderators. The explained variance substantially increased for depression (46 to 53%) and anxiety (22 to 35%) and the association of tinnitus distress with depression (β = 0.57, p < 0.001) and anxiety was weakened (β = 0.32, p < 0.001).

The Relationship Between Religious Background of those who Disaffiliate from Religion and Presence of Anxiety An Honors Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for Honors in Psychology By Timothy “Brandon” Sellers Under the mentorship of Dr. Michael Nielsen ABSTRACT Religion plays a significant role in the personality and worldview of a many individuals. It can provide one with personal benefits such as coping mechanisms, a framework for meaning- making, and a source of motivation, while also providing social support through connections with others having the same religious beliefs. The removal of said benefits through disaffiliation from a religious identity may lead to distress or anxiety. While much research has been done sociologically regarding the increasing number of people who do not affiliate with a religious group, much less has been done to analyze the individual experience of religious disaffiliation and its effect on mental and emotional health.

Beck and other colleagues, is a 21­question multiple­choice self­report inventory that is used for measuring the severity of an individual's anxiety. Contents 1 BAI 2 Two factor approach to anxiety 3 Clinical use 4 Limitations 5 See also 6 References BAI The BAI consists of twenty­one questions about how the subject has been feeling in the last week, expressed as common symptoms of anxiety (such as numbness and tingling, sweating not due to heat, and fear of the worst happening). It is designed for an age range of 17–80 years old. Each question has the same set of four possible answer choices, which are arranged in columns and are answered by marking the appropriate one with a cross. These are: NOT AT ALL (0 points) MILDLY: It did not bother me much. (1 point) MODERATELY: It was very unpleasant, but I could stand it. (2 points) SEVERELY: I could barely stand it. (3 points) The BAI has a maximum score of 63. 0­7: minimal level of anxiety 8­15: mild anxiety 16­25: moderate anxiety 26­63: severe anxiety Note: women with anxiety disorders tend to score 4 points higher than men with anxiety disorders[1] Two factor approach to anxiety Though anxiety can be thought of as having several components, including cognitive, somatic, affective, and behavioral components, Beck et al. included only two components in the BAI's original proposal: cognitive and somatic.[2]
