The Vietnamese version of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10): Translation equivalence and psychometric properties among older women.
BMC Psychiatry, 2017Co-Authors: Tiet-hanh Dao-tran, Debra Anderson, Charrlotte SeibAbstract:The Perceived Stress Scale 10 item (PSS-10) has been translated into more than 20 languages and used widely in different populations. Yet, to date, no study has tested psychometric properties of the instrument among older women and there is no Vietnamese version of the instrument. This study translated the PSS-10 into Vietnamese and assessed Vietnamese version of the Perceived Stress Scale 10 items (V-PSS-10) for translation equivalence, face validity, construct validity, correlations, internal consistency reliability, and test-retest reliability among 473 women aged 60 and over. The study found that V-PSS-10 retained the original meaning and was understood by Vietnamese older women. An exploratory factor analysis of the V-PSS-10 yielded a two-factor structure, and these two factors were significantly correlated (0.56, p

the vietnamese version of the Perceived Stress Scale pss 10 translation equivalence and psychometric properties among older women
BMC Psychiatry, 2017Co-Authors: Tiethanh Daotran, Debra Anderson, Charrlotte SeibAbstract:The Perceived Stress Scale 10 item (PSS-10) has been translated into more than 20 languages and used widely in different populations. Yet, to date, no study has tested psychometric properties of the instrument among older women and there is no Vietnamese version of the instrument. This study translated the PSS-10 into Vietnamese and assessed Vietnamese version of the Perceived Stress Scale 10 items (V-PSS-10) for translation equivalence, face validity, construct validity, correlations, internal consistency reliability, and test-retest reliability among 473 women aged 60 and over. The study found that V-PSS-10 retained the original meaning and was understood by Vietnamese older women. An exploratory factor analysis of the V-PSS-10 yielded a two-factor structure, and these two factors were significantly correlated (0.56, p < .01) with all item loadings exceeded .50. The V-PSS-10 score was positively correlated with general sleep disturbance (ρ = .12, p < .05), CES-D score for depression symptoms (ρ = .60, p < .01), and negatively correlated with mental (ρ = −.46, p < .01), and physical health scores (ρ = −.19, p < .01). The Cronbach’s alpha for the V-PSS-10 was .80, and the test-retest correlation at one month’s interval was .43. Findings from this study suggest that the V-PSS-10 has acceptable validity and reliability levels among older women. The V-PSS-10 can be used to measure Perceived Stress in future research and practice. However, future research would be useful to further endorse the validity and reliability of the V-PSS-10.

psychometric properties of the Perceived Stress Scale pss measurement invariance between athletes and non athletes and construct validity
PeerJ, 2016Co-Authors: Yi-hsiang Chiu, Frank Jing-horng Lu, Chiao-lin NienAbstract:BACKGROUND: Although Perceived Stress Scale (PSS, Cohen, Kamarack & Mermelstein, 1983) has been validated and widely used in many domains, there is still no validation in sports by comparing athletes and non-athletes and examining related psychometric indices. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the measurement invariance of PSS between athletes and non-athletes, and examine construct validity and reliability in the sports contexts. METHODS: Study 1 sampled 359 college student-athletes (males = 233; females = 126) and 242 non-athletes (males = 124; females = 118) and examined factorial structure, measurement invariance and internal consistency. Study 2 sampled 196 student-athletes (males = 139, females = 57, Mage = 19.88 yrs, SD = 1.35) and examined discriminant validity and convergent validity of PSS. Study 3 sampled 37 student-athletes to assess test-retest reliability of PSS. RESULTS: Results found that 2-factor PSS-10 fitted the model the best and had appropriate reliability. Also, there was a measurement invariance between athletes and non-athletes; and PSS positively correlated with athletic burnout and life Stress but negatively correlated with coping efficacy provided evidence of discriminant validity and convergent validity. Further, the test-retest reliability for PSS subScales was significant (r = .66 and r = .50). DISCUSSION: It is suggested that 2-factor PSS-10 can be a useful tool in assessing Perceived Stress either in sports or non-sports settings. We suggest future study may use 2-factor PSS-10 in examining the effects of Stress on the athletic injury, burnout, and psychiatry disorders. Language: en

Discussion: It is suggested that 2-factor PSS-10 can be a useful tool in assessing Perceived Stress either in sports or non-sports settings. We suggest future study may use 2-factor PSS-10 in examining the effects of Stress on the athletic injury, burnout, and psychiatry disorders.

Perceived Stress Scale reliability and validity study in greece
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2011Co-Authors: Eleni Andreou, Charalambos Gnardellis, Evangelos C. Alexopoulos, Liza Varvogli, Christos Lionis, George P Chrousos, Christina DarviriAbstract:Objective : To translate the Perceived Stress Scale (versions PSS-4, -10 and -14) and to assess its psychometric properties in a sample of general Greek population. Methods : 941 individuals completed anonymously questionnaires comprising of PSS, the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21 version), and a list of Stress-related symptoms. Psychometric properties of PSS were investigated by confirmatory factor analysis (construct validity), Cronbach's alpha (reliability), and by investigating relations with the DASS-21 scores and the number of symptoms, across individuals' characteristics. The two-factor structure of PSS-10 and PSS-14 was confirmed in our analysis. We found satisfactory Cronbach's alpha values (0.82 for the full Scale) for PSS-14 and PSS-10 and marginal satisfactory values for PSS-4 (0.69). PSS score exhibited high correlation

We found satisfactory Cronbach’s alpha values (0.82 for the full Scale) for PSS-14 and PSS-10 and marginal satisfactory values for PSS-4 (0.69). PSS score exhibited high correlation coefficients with DASS-21 subScales scores, meaning Stress (r = 0.64), depression (r = 0.61), and anxiety (r = 0.54). Women reported significantly more Stress compared to men and divorced or widows compared to married or singled only. A strong significant (p < 0.001) positive correlation between the Stress score and the number of self-reported symptoms was also noted. Conclusions: The Greek versions of the PSS-14 and PSS-10 exhibited satisfactory psychometric properties and their use for research and health care practice is warranted.

Stress beyond coping a rasch analysis of the Perceived Stress Scale pss 14 in an aboriginal population
PLOS ONE, 2019Co-Authors: Pedro Henrique Ribeiro Santiago, Rachel M Roberts, Lisa G Smithers, Lisa M JamiesonAbstract:The history of colonization contributed to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders becoming one of the most disadvantaged groups in Australia. The multiple social inequalities, and therefore the constant insecurities for many about low income, poor living conditions, unemployment, and discrimination, generate chronic Stress in this population. In the Baby Teeth Talk Study, an oral-health randomized controlled trial, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-14) was administered to 367 pregnant Aboriginal women at baseline. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the validity and reliability of the PSS-14 in an Aboriginal population. The study analysed: (a) model fit; (b) dimensionality; (c) local dependence; (d) differential item functioning; (e) threshold ordering and item fit; (f) targeting; (g) reliability; and (h) criterion validity. The dimensionality analysis indicated a two-factor structure, with negatively and positively worded items clustering together and 21.7% (95% Agresti-Coull C.I. [17.8%, 26.2%]) statistically significant t-tests between the persons’ estimates. After the creation of composite items, the revised Perceived DiStress (χ2 (21) = 11.74, p = 0.946) and Perceived Coping (χ2 (28) = 17.63, p = 0.935) subScales fitted the Rasch model. Reliability was modest (PersonSeparationIndexdiStress = 0.72; PersonSeparationIndexcoping = 0.76). The latent correlation between the Perceived DiStress and Perceived Coping subScales was r = 0.14. It is hypothesized that the social inequalities experienced by the Aboriginal population are so pronounced that even Aboriginal pregnant women that Perceived themselves as coping well with life challenges ended up endorsing items regarding high levels of Stress. The present research showed that a revised PSS-14 is a culturally valid and modestly reliable psychological instrument to measure Stress in a population of pregnant Aboriginal women in Australia.
