Why the study?
The prevalence of anxiety in older adults remains unclear, potentially due to the use of assessment tools not specifically designed for this age group.
Observational
May support anxiety screening in Iranian older adults; leaves open full validation and generalizability.
Background: Despite studies about anxiety in the older adult, the prevalence of anxiety in this age group is not exactly clear, which may be due to the use of tools and criteria that were not born for this age group. One of the instruments designed to assess anxiety in the elderly is the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI). The aim of this research was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Geriatric Anxiety Inventory (GAI-PV) and its short form (GAI-PV-SF) in a sample of older adults in Iran.
