Abstract
The aims of this cross-sectional study were i) to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) in adults with different temporal conditions of pain; ii) to compare the Depression, Anxiety and Stress subscale scores in different individuals; iii) to estimate the prevalence of negative affectivity; and iv) to elaborate a predictive model considering aspects related to the development of negative affectivity. A total of 1,150 individuals (mean age: 38.6, SD = 10.8 years; 78.9% women) participated. The fit of the model of DASS-21 to the data was estimated by confirmatory strategy. The Depression, Anxiety and Stress mean scores of participants with different temporal conditions of pain were compared. The association between Depression, Anxiety and Stress and the presence or absence of pain was assessed by the chi-square test and odds ratio (OR). A multiple logistic regression model was developed to estimate the probability of negative affectivity in the sample.
Highlights
Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) in adults with different temporal conditions of pain; ii) to compare the Depression, Anxiety and Stress subscale scores in different individuals; iii) to estimate the prevalence of negative affectivity; and iv) to Negative affectivity is a tendency of a person to experience negative emotions [1], which may manifest as a state or trait, i.e., be temporary with elaborate a predictive model considering aspects related to varying intensities over time or a personal disposition
Results a) Psychometric properties analysis Table 2 shows the indicators of fit of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale model (DASS-21) to the data of a sample of adult individuals without pain and with different temporal conditions of pain
The first- and second-order models of DASS-21 presented good fit to the data pointing to adequate factorial validity in all samples
Summary
Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21) in adults with different temporal conditions of pain; ii) to compare the Depression, Anxiety and Stress subscale scores in different individuals; iii) to estimate the prevalence of negative affectivity; and iv) to Negative affectivity is a tendency of a person to experience negative emotions [1], which may manifest as a state or trait, i.e., be temporary with elaborate a predictive model considering aspects related to varying intensities over time or a personal disposition. If the individuals among groups, iii) estimating the prevalence of negative reported pain onset equal to or greater than 3 months, affectivity, and iv) elaborating a predictive model taking they were asked about the temporal pattern of pain into account aspects relevant to the occurrence of (crises/episodes or continuous) Those who reported depression, anxiety, and stress in the sample. A multiple binary logistic regression model was groups), the mean scores of Depression, Anxiety and elaborated to estimate the probability of occurrence of Stress were compared between the individuals with different temporal conditions of pain V. Results a) Psychometric properties analysis Table 2 shows the indicators of fit of the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale model (DASS-21) to the data of a sample of adult individuals without pain and with different temporal conditions of pain. The presence of pain and insomnia were significant risk factors for the occurrence of stress
