Validity and invariance of the DAS-10 scale in young Mexican university students during confinement due to COVID-19

Depression, anxiety, and stress represent a mental health problem that has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, so reliable instruments are needed to evaluate them. The objective of this study is to assess the validity and factorial invariance of the depression, anxiety, and stress (DASS) scale i...

Depression, anxiety, and stress represent a mental health problem that has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, so reliable instruments are needed to evaluate them. The objective of this study is to assess the validity and factorial invariance of the depression, anxiety, and stress (DASS) scale in Mexican university students during confinement due to COVID-19: 39.4% (208) were men and 60.6% (320) were women. The mean age was 22.04 (SD = 3.81) and the age range was 18 to 35. An instrumental study with 528 young university students from a public University in Mexico was conducted. The DAS-10 scale was applied. Finally, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were performed.  An alternate model of 10 items grouped into two factors emerged with adequate fit indices: X2/gl = 1.43, CFI = .990, SRMR = .029, RMSEA = .038 [.002, .060]. In addition, evidence of convergent and divergent validity, as well as invariance by sex, was found. The DAS-10 scale is presented as a suitable instrument to evaluate depression and anxiety quickly and efficiently. La depresión, la ansiedad y el estrés representan un problema de salud mental que se ha incrementado durante la pandemia por el COVID-19, por lo que se necesitan instrumentos confiables para evaluarlos. El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar la validez e invarianza factorial de la escala de depresión, ansiedad y estrés (DASS) en estudiantes universitarios mexicanos durante el confinamiento por el COVID-19. El 39.4% (208) fueron hombres y el 60.6% (320) mujeres. El promedio de edad fue de 22.04 (DE = 3.81), con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 35 años. Se realizó un estudio instrumental con 528 estudiantes de una Universidad Pública en México. Se aplicó la escala de depresión, ansiedad y estrés DASS-21. Se realizaron análisis factoriales exploratorios y confirmatorios. Surgió un modelo alterno de 10 reactivos agrupados en dos factores con índices de ajuste adecuados: X2/gl = 1.43, CFI = .990, SRMR = .029, RMSEA = .038 [.002, .060]. Además, se encontraron evidencias de validez convergente, divergente, así como de invarianza por sexo. La escala DAS-10 se presenta como un instrumento adecuado para evaluar la depresión y la ansiedad de manera rápida y eficiente.
