目的：本研究探讨了土耳其语版DASS-42的信度、结构和聚合效度。方法：采用土耳其语版DASS-42对1102名大学生进行非临床样本的测量。竞争模型的潜在结构的DASS来自理论和实证来源，并使用验证性因子分析进行评估。的收敛效度的规模进行了检查，将其与以前验证和经常使用的土耳其版本的医院焦虑和抑郁Scale.Results：的DASS的潜在结构的最佳拟合模型包括三个相关因素对应的抑郁，焦虑和压力量表。的DASS的可靠性是优秀的，该措施具有足够的收敛validity.Conclusion：土耳其版本的DASS-42是一个可靠的和有效的措施，它是为了评估的结构。这项措施被认为是有用的评估抑郁，焦虑和压力在非临床人群。需要进一步的研究来研究这种措施在精神病患者中的效用。（Archives of Neuropsychiatry 2010; 47：118-26）
Objective: This study explores the reliability, the construct and convergent validity of the Turkish version of the DASS-42.Methods: The Turkish-language version of the DASS-42 was administered to a non-clinical sample, broadly representative of a university student population (N=1102) in terms of demographic variables. Competing models of the latent structure of the DASS were derived from theoretical and empirical sources and evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis. The convergent validity of the scale was examined by correlating it with the previously validated and frequently used Turkish version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale.Results: The best fitting model of the latent structure of the DASS consisted of three correlated factors corresponding to the depression, anxiety, and stress scales. The reliability of the DASS was excellent and the measure possessed adequate convergent validity.Conclusion: The Turkish version of the DASS-42 is a reliable and valid measure of the constructs it was intended to assess. This measure was found useful for evaluating depression, anxiety, and stress in non-clinical population. Further studies are needed to study the utility of this measure in psychiatric patients.
