Emetophobia Questionnaire (EmetQ) is a 21-item scale developed by Mark Boschen which is answered on a Likert-scale from 1 (=‘strongly disagree’) to 5 (=‘strongly agree’). It can be used as an outcome measure. The EmetQ has 4 stable factors and shows good internal consistency and validity. The questionnaire contains items on various aspects of emetophobia‚ such as worrying about vomiting‚ bodily sensations‚ fear of vomiting (e.g.‚ ‘I am afraid of becoming nauseous.’)‚ the avoidance of vomit-related situations (e.g.‚ ‘I avoid being around people who look as if they may be sick.’)‚ and the consequences of emetophobia in daily life. The EmetQ is currently being validated but has been presented at conferences.
