  • Separation Anxiety Assessment Scale-Parent Version: Spanish Validation (SAAS-P: Spanish Validation).
    Child psychiatry and human development, 2019
    Co-Authors: Aurora Orenes, José Manuel García-fernández, Xavier Méndez
    Abstract:

    The objective of this research is to validate the Spanish adaptation of the Separation Anxiety Assessment Scale—Parent Version (SAAS-P). We conducted two studies with parents of schoolchildren aged 8–11 years: (1) exploratory factor analysis: 910 parents completed the Spanish version of the SAAS-P; (2) confirmatory factor analysis, reliability, and discriminant validity: 4127 parents completed the SAAS-P and 392 children were interviewed using the ADIS-IV. We identified four factors which explained 51.56% of the variance and these were confirmed by factor analysis. The internal consistency (α = 0.84) and the temporal stability (r = .75) of the four key symptom dimensions were good. The sensitivity of the scale was 90%, and its specificity, 82%. The additional subscales correlated closely with the four key symptom dimensions (r > .70), and predicted 81% and 57% of the cases with high symptom levels of separation Anxiety. The results support the validity, reliability and clinical utility of the Spanish adaptation of the SAAS-P.

  • Spanish Validation of the Separation Anxiety Assessment Scale.
    Child Psychiatry & Human Development, 2016
    Co-Authors: Aurora Orenes, Xavier Méndez, José Manuel García-fernández
    Abstract:

    The aim of this study was to investigate the factorial structure and psychometric properties of the Separation Anxiety Assessment Scale (SAAS) with Spanish schoolchildren. The participants in Study 1 were 1281 children aged 8–11. Exploratory factor analysis identified four factors: worry about calamitous events, fear of abandonment, fear of being alone, and fear of physical illness, which explained 47.77 % of the variance. The participants of Study 2 were 4628 schoolchildren aged 8–11. The four related factors model was validated by confirmatory factor analysis. The internal consistency (α = .84) and temporal stability (r = .77) were good. The convergent validity was evident from the pattern of correlations with the measures of separation Anxiety, sensitivity to Anxiety and school fears. The sensitivity of the scale was 83 %, and its specificity, 93 %. The complementary subscales predicted the diagnosis of separation Anxiety disorder. The results support the reliability, validity and clinical utility of the SAAS.

  • Vocal markers of pre-operative Anxiety: a pilot study
    British Journal of Anaesthesia, 2019
    Co-Authors: Gilles Guerrier, Laurent Lellouch, Marco Liuni, Andrea Vaglio, Pierre-raphaël Rothschild, Christophe Baillard, Jean-julien Aucouturier
    Abstract:

    Introduction Recent European guidelines in anaesthesia recommend systematic pre-operative Anxiety management to prevent its negative peri-operative impact, 1 including impaired memorization of important instructions, and higher incidence of post-operative acute and chronic pain. Usual self-administered questionnaires or scales to assess Anxiety in the preoperative setting are time-consuming and rely on the patients' willingness to comply with instructions. 2 Physiological signals such as patients' voice may provide useful information for objective, reliable, and accurate Anxiety Assessment before surgery. Because of the extensive parasympathetic innervation to the larynx, pharynx, face, and head, stress modifies vocal parameters. 3-4 The effects of acute Anxiety on voice are poorly explored in the preoperative context. Our objective was to describe characteristics of patient's vocal parameters related to declared Anxiety level in a day-care ophthalmic surgical unit performing cataract surgery.
