Objective: This study aimed to perform the psychometric properties of Perceived Stress Scale 10 among AF patients.
Methodology: A study was performed among AF patients using the Perceived Stress Scale 10. Sociodemographic and patients reported clinical data were collected. Descriptive and inferential statistics were applied using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.0. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: Out of total 310 study participants, there were more female patients 185 (59.7%) than the male patients 125 (40.3%). No major issues regarding internal consistency, factorial validity, and convergent validity were observed.
Conclusion: The present study confirmed the reliability and validity of Perceived Stress Scale 10 among the studied cohort of the AF patients.
