- The Multidimensional Inventory Check List of Symptoms (SCL-90-r) assesses various psychological symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and paranoia through self-evaluation and was used to study individuals with lower extremities amputations.
- The study included 37 participants (70.2% veterans), revealing high levels of anxiety, hostility, and paranoia among them, with veterans exhibiting significantly higher paranoia than civilians.
- Results indicated that younger and married veterans had particularly elevated paranoia levels, and individuals with above and below knee amputations displayed more paranoia compared to those with foot amputations.
