Abstract

to evaluate of the validity of the Brazilian version of the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale, based on its internal structure, concurrent validity, and predictive validity, for the screening of psychological distress among higher education students.

methodological study with 1,034 participants, using the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale as well as the Self-Reporting Questionnaire. An analysis of the internal structure was conducted using a two-factor confirmatory factor analysis, which evaluated fit indices and hierarchical omega reliability coefficients. A Pearson's correlation test was used to assess concurrent validity, while sensitivity, specificity, areas under the ROC curve and 95% confidence intervals were used to assess predictive validity.

the bifactor model demonstrated excellent fit indices (CFI=1.000; TLI=0.999; SRMR=0.019; RMSEA=0.028; 95%CI: 0.015 - 0.041) as well as high reliability (ωH=0.886). It was observed that there was a strong correlation between the K10 and the SRQ (r=0.813; 95%CI: 0.784 - 0.837). The ideal cut-off point for screening was identified as being higher than 21, with a sensitivity of 85.2% and a specificity of 82.9%.

the structure composed of a general factor, psychological distress, demonstrated a high level of reliability. The scale demonstrated concurrent and predictive validity for the assessment of psychological distress among university students.

凯斯勒心理压力量表在巴西高校学生中的有效性。

根据其内部结构、并发效度和预测效度，评估巴西版《凯斯勒心理压力量表》在筛查高校学生心理压力方面的有效性。采用双因素确认性因素分析法对内部结构进行了分析，评估了拟合指数和分层欧米茄信度系数。双因素模型显示出极佳的拟合指数（CFI=1.000；TLI=0.999；SRMR=0.019；RMSEA=0.028；95%CI：0.015 - 0.041）和高可靠性（ωH=0.886）。据观察，K10 与 SRQ 之间存在很强的相关性（r=0.813；95%CI：0.784 - 0.837）。筛查的理想临界点被确定为高于 21，灵敏度为 85.2%，特异度为 82.9%。该量表在评估大学生心理困扰方面具有并发有效性和预测有效性。
