p-value: p=>0.05
The Russian version of the DASS is a valid and reliable tool for assessing depression, anxiety, and stress in clinical practice.
Supports DASS screening in Russian-speaking patients; extends validation to this population but warrants further confirmation before routine use.
OBJECTIVES: Development and psychometric validation of the Russian version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS). MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included three stages: 1) direct and reverse translations, linguistic validation of the scale; 2) assessment of internal consistency, reliability, and sensitivity; and 3) psychometric validation of the scale in a sample of 250 Russian-speaking patients of a medical hospital (neurological, cardiological, therapeutic profiles) with signs of emotional disorders, as well as in a control sample of 100 Russian-speaking respondents without emotional disorders. RESULTS: >0.05) with the indicators of the control group of respondents without emotional disorders. CONCLUSION: The Russian version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale is valid, has the required psychometric properties, and can be used in clinical practice to detect depression, anxiety, and stress. A study of the scale sensitivity in patients during drug therapy showed its efficacy for assessing the course of the disease and the effect of therapy.
