The scale is designed to evaluate stressors related to the COVID-19 pandemic and their levels. The sample of the methodological-descriptive-cross-sectional study was comprised of adults who were over the age of 18, could read and write, and had no objections against participating in the study. The study included 259 participants. "Sociodemographic Data Form" and "COVID-19 Stressors Scale" created by the researchers based on the literature were used for data collection. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the entire scale was 0.908. The results of the content validity analysis showed that the scale provided both content and language validity for the Turkish sample and measured the subject matter as adequately as its original version. The present study determined that the scale was valid and reliable for use with mental status assessment and mental health services planning.
