This self-report scale was used to assess participants’ perceived stress in the previous month. Higher scores indicate higher levels of perceived stress. The original version of the scale,36 as well as its translation to Spanish,37 h presented good psychometric properties. The 10-item Spanish version of the PSS (PSS-10)37 was used in the present study and scores evidenced high internal consistency with an alpha of 0.87 with a 95% Confidence Interval [80, 89]. In this study, we used the sum of the scores as the total score, and items four, five, seven, and eight were reverse scored, based on authors’ instructions.
