Article Synopsis
- Anxiety symptoms can affect up to 40% of children and adolescents with chronic health conditions, highlighting the need for effective assessment methods.
- The STAI-P, a caregiver proxy version of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, was developed to help evaluate state anxiety in chronically ill youth.
- The study found that the STAI-P scores correlate with self-reported anxiety and other factors like parent distress and functional status, suggesting it could be a valuable tool for identifying anxiety in these young patients.
