Abstract The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 8-items (DASS-8) is a brief form of the DASS-21, which demonstrated adequate psychometrics relative to parent scale in many studies. Aiming determine an optimal cutoff score DASS-8, we recruited convenient sample 571 European caregivers (Mean age = 53 ± 12 years, Italian 74.4%, Swiss 25.6%). K-means clustering classified into high- and low-distress clusters based on DASS-8 19. Based 48 7 Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI) Three-Item University California, Los Angeles, Loneliness Scale-version 3 (UCLALS3), receiver operator curve (ROC) analysis revealed point 12.5 14.5 (area under (AUC) 0.85 & 0.92, p values 0.001, 95% CI: 0.82–0.88 0.89 0.94, sensitivity 0.81 0.78, specificity 0.76 0.89, Youden index 0.57 0.67, respectively). Decision modeling that scores 9.5 can predict low high ZBI UCLALS3 categories, respectively. median (14.5), prevalence distress this was 50.8%.

The prevalence of mental health disorders calls for valid and reliable instruments that are easy to administer assess clinicians researchers. Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) is a commonly used instrument psychological distress; however, model fit internal reliability issues have been reported. Our objective was the factorial structural validity DASS-21.

Abstract Objectives To investigate the validity evidence of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) to analyze prevalence depression, anxiety, stress symptoms in a sample Brazilian nursing workers. Methods This was cross-sectional study with non-probability convenience sampling. A total 4053 workers participated study. The psychometric properties DASS-21 were assessed by analysis based on internal structure (factorial, convergent, discriminant construct validity, invariance factorial model, reliability); relationships external measures (positive negative convergent factors emotional impairment, job satisfaction, individual occupational variables); response process items (analysis differential item functioning distinct subgroups). Data reliability certified estimating ordinal alpha coefficient composite reliability. estimated recommendations from original authors DASS-21. Results During validation structure, confirmatory factor showed that fit model adequate strong measurement confirmed different groups. Analysis had positive moderate-strong correlations impairment domain moderate satisfaction construct. pattern uniformity stability instrument for sample. Regarding symptoms, high extremely severe levels highlighted among participants. Conclusion presented assess
