The Association Between Atrial Fibrillation and Anxiety Survey

This survey is for research conducted by Sevinc Erdas Uzumcu as partial completion of the Doctor of Health Sciences degree at A. T. Still University. The purpose of this research is to understand of the association between atrial fibrillation and anxiety. Your participation is voluntary and will only involve completing the anonymous, 7–minute questionnaire. The researcher will not place any codes on the questionnaire that could directly identify you. The results of this research might be published, but any research reports or publications will not reveal your name or identity. Your survey completion serves as consent to participate in this research. While there are no direct benefits to you for completing this questionnaire, the results may help improve understanding of prevalence of anxiety among patients with AF and the association between AF symptom severity and anxiety that could contribute to current treatment options and improved patient outcomes.
