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

The severity of depression, anxiety, and stress in the Russian version of DASS correlated (p<0.05) with the indicators of corresponding subscales in the valid Russian version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) among patients of the medical hospital (neurological, cardiological, and therapeutic profiles) with signs of emotional disorders, while it did not correlate (p>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.
