In the study, the Turkish version of the CAS was used to determine the participants' anxiety levels. It is developed by Lee S.A. and adapted to Turkish by Biçer et al. (37). The scale consists of five items in total. Participants were asked to reply to each question, which is scored on a five-point Likert-type scale (1 = Not at all, 2 = Rare, less than a day or two, 3 = Several days, 4 = More than 7 days, 5 = Nearly every day over the last 2 weeks). The sum of the scores for five items ranges from 0 to 25. Total scores of 0 to 9 are considered as normal and scores of 10–25 are considered as anxiety.
