    The document provides instructions and questions for the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10), a psychological instrument used to measure perceived stress over the last month. The PSS-10 asks respondents to indicate how often in the past month they felt or thought in 10 different ways, with responses ranging from never to very often. Some questions address feelings of control, confidence, nervousness, and ability to handle problems, while others focus on feeling overwhelmed or unable to cope. Scoring involves determining how often each response was chosen, with higher total scores indicating higher perceived stress levels.
