Quiz form 1 by bbaadmin | May 18, 2019 Bladder and Bowel Anxiety Assessment The following assessment uses validated scales assessing two of the most common forms of bladder and bowel related anxiety. The first scale (Shy Bladder and Shy Bowel Scale; SBBS) is a measure of paruresis and parcopresis symptom severity. The second scale (Bladder and Bowel Incontinence Phobia Symptom Severity Scale; BBIPSS) assesses bladder and bowel anxiety relating to incontinence. Both scales do NOT provide a diagnosis or full psychological assessment. Assessment and diagnosis are best undertaken by your medical practitioner or mental health professional.
