At the start of this paragraph, the range of possible PHQ-9 scores is mentioned as 0-27. In methods section, the outcome variable of depression is assessed using PHQ-9 and the scores are mentioned as normal (0-4), mild (5-9), moderate (10-14), and severe (15-21) depression. I suggest that the sample must have been assessed for all outcomes that have been assessed not merely stress.
On the contrary, the current study is assessing the stress level of participant immediately after the surge of COVID19 pandemic. The sample size calculated for this study has used the estimates of stress one year after SARS epidemic. This is an amazing piece of evidence for other countries to assess status of mental health for their front-line health care workers as well as general population.
