2.2.3 Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S)
The FCV-19S, which was developed by Ahorsu et al.11,
is a valid and reliable tool for the assessment of fear of COVID-19
among the general population. The validity and reliability studies of
the scale in the Turkish population were conducted by Ladikli et
al.12. It has a single-factor structure and uses a
5-item Likert-type scale (1= strongly disagree; 5 = strongly agree).
Higher scores indicate the greater fear of COVID-19.
