When difficult feelings have been building, it can help to have a calm way to describe what the past month has been like. The K10 Psychological Distress Workbook gives adults a paper copy of the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10), a 10-item self-report about general distress over the past four weeks. It helps you record responses, add your total, and read the result as a screening snapshot, not a definition of you or a diagnosis.
The pack has 33 pages across nine files, supplied as PDFs in both A4 and US Letter. Start Here lays out the six-week path and safety notes; The Measure and Scoring file contains the questionnaire, scoring steps, and a worked example. Thirteen Worksheets offer structured reflection and planning pages, while four Trackers provide repeatable records. Two Quick Reference pages include score bands and cut-out cards. A three-page Reading Guide explains the measure and its limits, and a three-page Professional Guide plus one-page Credits and References file complete the set.
Begin with the K10 and Worksheet 1, then use the weekly prompts and trackers to note feelings, situations, and small steps that matter to you. The suggested path revisits the measure in week five, at least four weeks after the first completion, so each score reflects a new period. At the end, you will have a dated score history, written observations, and a calm or session card you can bring to a conversation with someone you trust or a professional.
What you get
- Score the 10 K10 items with a step-by-step grid and a worked example in The Measure and Scoring file.
- Use Worksheet 1 to consider what your total can and cannot say about your month.
- Follow the six-week Start Here path, with page references for each week's activities.
- Record repeat scores and weekly observations in four Trackers, including a score-history page.
- Keep the Quick Reference score bands and cut-out calm and session cards close at hand.
What it is not
For educational self-reflection only; it is not a diagnosis or treatment and does not replace professional care. The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) was developed by Ronald C. Kessler and colleagues. Personal use and unmodified professional client handouts are permitted; resale, redistribution, and removal of credits are not.
Questions people ask
How often should I repeat the K10?
The workbook notes that each K10 asks about the past four weeks, so repeating it only days later covers almost the same period. Its six-week path suggests taking it again in week five, at least four weeks after the first, for a more useful comparison.
Can I print this K10 workbook on A4 or US Letter paper?
Yes. The pack is supplied as PDF files in both A4 and US Letter. The nine files contain 33 pages in each size, including the questionnaire, worksheets, trackers, guides, and reference cards.
How is the K10 scored in this workbook?
Rate each of the ten items from 1 (none of the time) to 5 (all of the time), then add the responses for a total from 10 to 50. The workbook explains the skip rule and shows commonly used score ranges, while noting that ranges vary and do not diagnose a condition.
