Identifying donors suffering from heightened state anxiety is important to assess the impact of evidence\u2010based interventions. This study analyzed the appropriateness of a shortened version of the state subscale of the State\u2010Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) in a blood donation context.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS<\/jats:title><jats:p>STAI\u2010State questionnaire data were collected from two separate samples of Australian blood donors (n\u2009=\u2009919 and n\u2009=\u2009824 after cleaning). Responses to demographic, donation history, and adverse reaction questions were also obtained. Identification of items and analysis was performed systematically to assess and compare internal reliability and content, construct, convergent, and criterion validity of three potential short\u2010form state anxiety scales.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the three short\u2010form scales tested, STAI\u2010State six\u2010item scale demonstrated the best metric properties with the least number of items across both sample groups. Cronbach's alpha was acceptable (\u03b1\u2009=\u20090.844 and \u03b1\u2009=\u20090.820), correlated positively with the original measure (r\u2009=\u20090.927 and r\u2009=\u20090.931) and criterion\u2010related variables, and maintained the two\u2010dimension factorial structure of the original measure.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title><jats:p>The six\u2010item short version of the STAI\u2010State subscale presented the most reliable and valid scale for use with blood donors.
