Abstract

AbstractPerceived Stress Scale (PSS) is a widely used measure of stress. However, the dimensions of this scale are not clearly defined, and there is little information on the use of the scale in military personnel. This study examined the psychometric properties of an Iranian version of the PSS in a military population. A sample of 406 military personnel were recruited from three military units in Tehran, Iran. Construct validity viaexploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and concurrent validity were examined. Cronbach’s alpha was used to assess reliability. EFA was used on the first half of the sample (n = 206); two factors were identified that explained 55.1% of the total variance. CFA was performed on the second half of the sample (n = 200), confirming a two-factor solution. CFA showed good model fit (comparative fit index [CFI] = 0.993, normed χ2 = 2.42, root mean square error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.059). The two PSS subscales were strongly associated with psychological distress, indicating concurrent validity. Internal reliability was acceptable (alpha = 0.79–0.90). The Persian version of the PSS has acceptable psychometric properties, allowing it to be used as a measure of perceived stress in Iranian military personnel.

Abstract

Over the past four decades, studies have consistently shown that regular attendance at religious services is associated with better mental and physical health. At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, many congregations paused in-person religious services and moved their worship rituals online. The ways that churches have responded to the threat of infectious disease require new conceptualizations and operationalizations of religious attendance and novel comparisons of the causes and consequences of virtual and in-person attendance. Analyses of data collected from a national probability sample of Americans (n = 1,717) show that while in-person religious attendance is associated with better mental and physical health, virtual attendance is unrelated to both outcomes in fully adjusted models. Taken together, these findings suggest that the association between religious attendance and health during a global pandemic may be contingent on physical proximity and the nature of the social and experiential aspects of religious worship.
