Concurrent VALIDITY reported parallel using of The DEATH Anxiety Scale, showing good coefficient. However three types of reliabilities, test retest (r= 0.78 p< 0.001), split half (r= 0.77 p< 0.001) & internal constancy (r= 0.76 p< 0.001) were reported. Based on these results, it was concluded that the DEPRESSION SCALE/fa? page= 1&sort= 1&ftyp= all&fgrp= all&fyrs= all" target=" _blank"> DEATH DEPRESSION SCALE has good VALIDITY and RELIABILITY in Iranian …
