The present article describes the process of development of an indigenous Emotional State Scale for Dermatological Patients (ESS-D) which measures the intensity of emotional disturbance among patients with psychosomatic skin diseases. Development of ESS-D has been carried out in four phases by using independent samples. The 40 items of ESS-D are arranged in a 5-point scale. The items have been ramified into five dimensions or subscales such as Anxiety, Depression, Body Image, Well-being, and Social Withdrawal. The psychometric evaluation of ESS-D reveals that it possesses high reliability and sufficient content and construct validities. The development of an indigenous Emotional State Scale for Dermatological Patient (ESS-D) has been made for clinical use in dermatologic clinics, in Pakistan.
