Can you please guide me to find a scale to measure stress level that is relevant for patients with high blood pressure, except (the Perceived Stress Scale or DASS 21)
The Holmes and Rahe Stress Scale

You find this online and can complete it online.
How about: GHQ 12, WSI, GPSS?

- ... information on psychological distress using the 12-item version of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), a widely used measure of psychological distress in population-based studies.12 The GHQ-12 enquires about symptoms in the last 4 weeks.

The Weekly Stress Inventory (WSI) is a validated 87-item checklist of minor stressors occurring in multiple life domains (eg, work, family, and finances).28 Participants indicated whether or not each event occurred during the previous week, and the number of stressful events was summed to create a score ranging from 0 to 87 (a=0.98). TheGlobal Perceived Stress Scale (GPSS) is an 8-item measure developed for the JHS that assesses domain-specific stressors experienced over the previous 12 months: job, relationships,neighborhood, caregiving, legal, medical, racism and discrim-ination, and meeting basic needs.27 Scores range from 0 to24, with higher scores indicating greater levels of stress (PDF) Association Between High Perceived Stress Over Time and Incident Hypertension in Black Adults: Findings From the Jackson Heart Study.
