Finally, 29 items were selected in developing final version of the scale.
Results: Seven factors were extracted through factor analysis: ‘economical distress’, ‘loss of meaning in life’, ‘feeling of social isolation’, ‘emotional distress’, ‘burnout’, ‘guilty feeling’, and ‘physical discomfort’. These factors explained 66.94% of the total variance. Cronbach’s alpha and Guttman Split-half coefficient of the 29 items were .93 and .92. respectively.
