Using Varimax rotation, exploratory identified three significant factors explaining 57.95% total variance. CFA suggested good model fit with an RMSEA (0.061), CFI (0.934), TLI (0.923). Parsimony indices indicated adequate PCFI (0.802) PNFI (0.781). Convergent validity also supported by correlations between TMMS-24 dimensions depression, anxiety, stress measured DASS-21.
