Abstract

Introduction: Globally, mental health problems have affected nearly 1 billion people and approximately 1 in 10 Mexicans. The detection and surveillance of depression, anxiety, and stress in Mexico requires more reliable and valid instruments. Objective: To determine the factor validity and internal consistency of the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 items (DASS-21) in a non-probabilistic national sample of Mexican adults. Method: Cross-sectional study by means of an online survey of 1 613 Mexican adults aged 18 years and older. The Spanish version of the DASS-21 was used, which evaluates the presence of depressive symptoms, anxiety, and stress. Factor validity was determined by comparing different confirmatory factor analysis models: one-dimensional, three factors (correlated and non-correlated), second order,and bifactor. Results: The application of the bifactor model to the DASS 21, supports its validity for identifying the presence of symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress, as well as an altered general emotional state in a sample of Mexican adults. Conclusions: The DASS-21 is a theoretically robust instrument useful for research and clinical practice.

抑郁、焦虑和压力量表:墨西哥首次COVID-19封锁期间的因素验证

导言:在全球范围内，精神健康问题影响了近10亿人，大约十分之一的墨西哥人受到影响。墨西哥对抑郁、焦虑和压力的检测和监测需要更可靠和有效的工具。目的:确定抑郁、焦虑和压力量表21项(DASS-21)在墨西哥成人非概率国家样本中的因素效度和内部一致性。方法:采用横断面研究方法对1 613名18岁及以上的墨西哥成年人进行在线调查。使用西班牙语版das -21，评估抑郁症状、焦虑和压力的存在。通过比较不同的验证性因子分析模型来确定因子效度:一维、三因素(相关和不相关)、二阶和双因素。结果:将双因素模型应用于DASS 21，支持其在识别墨西哥成年人样本中抑郁、焦虑和压力症状以及改变的一般情绪状态方面的有效性。结论:DASS-21是一种理论上可靠的仪器，可用于研究和临床实践。

期刊介绍： Revista latinoamericana de Psicología (RLP) is a four month publication from Konrad Lorenz Fundación Universitaria. The RLP evaluates works that belong to one of the following categories: original papers (with empiric and new information) of many psychology fields (regardless of the methodology used) or qualitative/quantitative systematic reviews. Eventually it will be interested on works’ revision related to the development psychology tools or softwares, original methodology papers and researches which evaluate psychology from scientometry. The RLP is not interested in publishing non-systematic reviews or states of the art, case studies, protocols studies, hypothesis or papers proposals, letters, commentaries or essays, opinions articles, politics documents nor other sort of secondary literature. Traditionally, there have been monographics, books’ reviews and “others” published in “Mundo de la Psicología”, nevertheless these modalities will not be considered.
