Целью настоящего исследования стал систематический обзор психометрических свойств шкалы депрессии, тревоги и стресса (DASS-21). В базах данных Embase, PsycINFO и PubMed было найдено 59 исследований, оценивающих психометрические свойства DASS-21 на выборке общей численностью 73890 респондентов. Результаты систематического обзора указывают на то, что DASS-21 является надежным и валидным инструментом для диагностики депрессии, тревоги и стресса во многих странах мира, демонстрирует кросс-культурную инвариантность, универсальность в клинических условиях и функциональность в разных технических условиях психологической диагностики.

The aim of this study was to systematically review the psychometric properties of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21). Studies measuring psychometric properties of the DASS-21 were searched through Embase, PsycINFO, and PubMed. A total of 59 studies including 73890 subjects were reviewed in this study. The results suggest that the DASS-21 is a reliable and valid measure for assessing depression, anxiety, and stress in many countries of the world, demonstrates cross-cultural invariance, universality in the clinical setting, and functionality under different technical conditions of psychological assessment.
