Description

This 17-item instrument assesses ON with two separate dimensions : 9 items for Healthy Orthorexia or “HeOr” and 8 items for Orthorexia Nervosa or “OrNe”.

No specific timeframe was asked from the participants while responding. Higher scores reflect more orthorexia nervosa and more healthy orthorexia, respectively. In this study, the Cronbach’s alpha was 0.853 for the TOS OrNe and 0.829 for the TOS HeOr.

AIS

Description

The Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS) was developed by Felton and Revenson. The scale consists of eight items, which measure patient coping strategies with the disease in terms of accommodating limitations imposed by the illness, negative self-value caused by the disease, and thoughts that others are uncomfortable being around patients because of the disease. The patient rates each item 1 to 5, where 1 represents full agreement and 5 represents full disagreement. This generates a scale ranging from 8 to 40 points; a score of 8 indicates extremely low acceptance of the disease, and 40 extremely high acceptance.

The adult version consists of four subscales (Fears about Contamination and Illness, Fears about Social Distancing, Behaviors Related to Illness and Virus Fears and Impact of Illness and Virus Fears) with 35 items in total.

The third subscale includes rating the frequency of doing specific behaviors within the last week on a scale of four (1 for “I have not done this in last week” and 4 for “I did this all the time last week”). The respondents were asked in the last subscale to rate the truthfulness of each statement on a scale of four (1 for “not true for me at all” and 4 for “definitely true”). The first two subscales (items 1–19) are directly related to fears, the third subscale (items 20–33) is related to behaviors, and the fourth one (items 34–35) is related to functionality.
