Grove, Gray, and Burns (2015) have defined reliability as the displayed consistency of the methods used to measure collected data of a research project. A critique of Chevillon et al. (2015) article’s reliability, the researchers stated they used the “State-Trait Anxiety Inventory” which is comprised of 20 items used to measure anxiety, and it assess a patient’s level of apprehension and concern that is felt at the time of the assessment using a four point Likert scale. A second anxiety assessment

Results shows a coefficient of .89 and .97. Polit & Beck (2010) described coefficient alpha (or chrobach’s alpha) “the normal range of values is between .00 and +1.00, and higher values reflect higher internal consistency” (p. 333). A value of .89 and .97 shows that the realibility of measure is extremely high. Polit and Beck (2012) also states that Cronbach’s α does not evaluate fluctuations over time, which can be a possible source of
