Abstract
The SSQ-25 stress symptom questionnaire was created to detect even mild, subclinical stress symptoms. In the present study, a total of 412 individuals were assigned (108 employees, 233 undergraduate students, 71 postgraduate students). The Beck Stress Questionnaire (BAI) and the Spielberger Stress Questionnaire (STAI) section on stress as a personality trait were used to highlight anxiety symptoms as stress often triggers stressful events. The SSQ-25 showed high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0.944) and reliability (Intraclass Correlation Coefficient test 0.937). The factor analysis showed high validity and correlation, 0.740 with Beck Questionnaire and low validity and correlation with Spielberger Questionnaire. The Greek translation has shown good psychometric properties and is a practical and easy-to-use tool for detecting even mild symptoms of stress in the general population.

Highlights
When a person feels stressed, his body is tense and his brain is flooded with negative thoughts
The aim of this study was to evaluate the dubbed version of SSQ-25 in a Greek population without mental disorders to measure the symptoms of subclinical stress
The scale was translated (Table 1.) by a bilingual member of our team and a bilingual expert unfamiliar with the original SSQ-25 translated it questionnaire from Greek to German
Summary
When a person feels stressed, his body is tense and his brain is flooded with negative thoughts. Stress can be positive - so-called stressful - when one is called upon to deal with it infrequently (or only sometimes) and has limited, unmanageable weight In this case, it acts as a catalyst and the person is activated to cope with difficult and stressful situations. Stress is beneficial when it is a reaction to objectively difficult conditions and when it is commensurate with the difficulties of these conditions. Intense, persistent and unjustified stress has a negative effect on our daily lives, our professional and social functioning. Symptoms of anxiety such as sweating, palpitations, tremors and feelings of fear and panic often bother patients. Patients' quality of life is usually negatively affected and it is necessary to intervene with behavioral and / or drug therapy [3] [4]
