LOINC long common name : Perceived stress scale-10 [PSS-10];
LOINC description : The PSS is a self-reported measure designed to deal with the degree to which situations
in an individual's life are appraised as stressful. It was originally developed as
a 14-item scale that assessed the perception of stressful experiences over the previous
month using a five-point Likert scale. Later, the authors reported that the 10-item
version (PSS-10) showed stronger psychometric characteristics in comparison to the
14-item scale (Cohen & Williamson, 1988).;
