Primary outcome measure(s)
Measuring the effect of cognitive avoidance levels of patients diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder — 1 month Patients answered cognitive avoidance scale. Cognitive Avoidance Scale (Cope) measures cognitive avoidance strategies. COA is a self-assessment type scale. The five (1-5) point Likert-type scale (1-strongly disagree, 5-strongly agree) measures 25 items of COA. The score that can be obtained from the scale is between 12 and 125. In order to calculate the total score, it is necessary to sum the answers given to all items. A high score indicates that a cognitive avoidance strategy is used in the face of problems.
