ABSTRAKSekolah berasrama merupakan model sekolah yang memiliki tuntutan lebih tinggi dalam hal pembangunan karakter, pengembangan kepribadian, dan penanaman nilai-nilai hidup jika dibanding dengan sekolah reguler. Tuntutan-tuntutan tersebut dapat memberikan dampak positif maupun negatif bagi kehidupan peserta didik sehingga memunculkan respon psikososial. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran respon psikososial siswa asrama di Bina Siswa SMA PLUS Cisarua Provinsi Jawa Barat. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif kuantitatif dengan populasi seluruh siswa asrama yang berjumlah 210 orang. Pengambilan sampel dalam penelitian ini menggunakan teknik proportionate stratified random sampling dan didapatkan jumlah responden 138 orang. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah Psychometric Properties of The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 42 (DASS) yang dikembangkan oleh Lovibond & Lovibond (1995). Analisis data yang digunakan adalah univariat dengan rumus distribusi frekuensi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan presentase respon psikososial pada siswa asrama hampir seluruhnya (64,5%) atau 89 orang tidak mengalami stres, hampir setengahnya (31,9%) atau 44 orang mengalami kecemasan tingkat sedang, dan hampir seluruhnya (84,1%) atau 116 orang tidak mengalami depresi. Simpulan dari penelitian ini menunjukkan respon psikososial terbesar yang dialami oleh siswa asrama adalah kecemasan tingkat sedang. Saran, pihak asrama diharapkan meningkatkan pelayanan terutama layanan konsultasi atau bimbingan konseling bagi siswa asrama.ABSTRACTBoarding schools are a model of schools that have higher demands in character building, personality development, and the planting of living values when compared to regular schools. These demands can have both positive and negative effects on the learner's life resulting in a psychosocial response. This study aims to determine the description of psychosocial responses of boarding students in Bina Siswa SMA PLUS Cisarua West Java Province. The research method used is descriptive quantitative with population of all student dormitory which amounted to 210 people. Sampling in this study using proportionate stratified random sampling technique and got the number of respondents 138 people. The instruments used are Psychometric Properties of The Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 42 (DASS) developed by Lovibond & Lovibond (1995).

"Bonding represents an emotional tie that one experiences towards one´s own child. There are several instruments to measure the level and quality of bonding. Among them we chose and translated the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire by Brockington et al. (2001) into Slovak language. The aim of this study was to analyse its psychometric qualities. Our non-clinical sample consisted of women (N= 372) 18 and 44 years (M= 29.74; SD= 5.25) who recently gave birth in Slovakian hospitals. Data collection was carried out from September 2015 until March 2018. Participants filled the Postpartum bonding questionnaire by Brockington et al. (2001) and some of them other three tools: Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale by Cox, Holgen and Sagovsky (1987), Depression Anxiety Stress scale-42 (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995) and Parental Stress Scale (Berry & Jones, 1995). The distributions of the items of the bonding were mostly skewed and leptokurtic. Internal consistency is high for the overall Lack of Bonding (?= .897) and varies in factors- ?= .820 for Impaired Bonding, ?= .779 for Rejection and Anger, ?= .506 for Anxiety about Care and ?= .321 for Risk of Abuse. In order to prove convergent validity, we correlated overall Lack of Bonding with depression (Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale, rs= .251, Depression Anxiety Stress scale-42 depression rs=.404; n=79), stress and anxiety (Depression Anxiety Stress scale-42, stress rs=.392; anxiety rs=.496; n=79) and parental stress (Parental Stress Scale score; rs= .674, n=99). We did not confirm original factor structure via confirmatory factor analysis using principal axis factoring with oblimine rotation. Then, we used principal component analysis with varimax rotation method to reduce the items. 6 components were extracted. Component 1 was comprised of 15 items that explained 35,6 % of the variance with loadings from .306 to .733. Hence, we proposed new item-structure for the Slovak PBQ. We concluded that the Slovak version of the PBQ proved to have good overall reliability. We found evidences for the convergent validity with parental stress, anxiety, stress, and partly depression, because there were two different results. We also suggest creating a shorter version based on the analysis. Among limits we can see tools used for validity evidence and sample without participants for clinical population. We advise to use the Slovak version of the Postpartum Bonding Questionnaire as a tool to measure bonding in a research context and to use overall summary index (Lack of Bonding) instead of factors."

Aim: This paper aims to develop the Turkish version of the dental environmental stress (DES) scale that can evaluate perceived DES in Turkish dental students. Materials and Methods: A methodological study was conducted to adapt the DES scale to Turkish language in Gaziantep University, Faculty of Dentistry. The study group consisted of 392 students in the academic year 2018/19. The students were surveyed using the DES scale, translated into Turkish language. The demographic characteristics were analyzed by using descriptive statistical analyses. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity were employed to evaluate the suitability of the dataset. Exploratory factor analysis was performed to assess construct validity. Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 was used to predict the power of the scale. In reliability analysis, the instrument’s internal consistency and corrected item-total correlation, Cronbach’s α reliability were studied. Results: Content Validity Index of the scale items was found to have a high validity range of 0.97. Two items with an estimate value less than 0.4 were excluded and 30 items yielded five factor. Five factors having eigenvalues greater than 1.0 explained 52.299% of the total variance. Each factor showed adequate internal consistency. Factor loadings ranged from 0.46 to 0.77. In the concurrent validity, significant positive relationship was found between DASS-21 and Turkish DES. Conclusion: According to psychometric properties, the Turkish version of the DES presented good results, thus it could be a valid instrument to assess the perceived stress in Turkish dental students.

The aim of this study is to replicate the findings from previous research about the psychometric properties of the Mandarin Chinese version of the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory–Revised (OCI-R), which assesses the presence of symptoms obsessive-compulsive disorder and the distress associated with those symptoms. The final clinical sample included 80 participants from multiple psychiatric outpatient clinics in China. Participants completed the following questionnaires: the OCI-R, the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21), the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale–II (Y-BOCS-II), and the Clinical Global Impressions Scale, Severity (CGI-S). The Mandarin Chinese version of the OCI-R demonstrated good internal consistency for the total scale and each subscale. Good convergent and divergent validity was established. The Mandarin Chinese version of the OCI-R demonstrated good psychometric properties. Further research is needed to examine the factor structure of the Chinese version of the OCI-R and the extent to which it aligns with the original version.

Measurement instruments that have satisfactory psychometric properties are needed to improve mental health research and services, especially in the effort to measure, identify, and monitor the psychological problems experienced by individuals. The purpose of this study is to examine the psychometric properties of the Indonesian version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS). The study involved 1,922 participants from Surabaya aged between 16 and 26. The data were obtained using the convenience sampling method. Testing of the factor structure, reliability, and measurement invariance of the Indonesian DASS was performed using a confirmatory factor, composite reliability, and multi-group analysis. It was found that a bifactor model consisting of specific (depression, anxiety, and stress) and general (psychological distress) factors was the best structure for the DASS. Furthermore, the model also showed satisfactory composite reliability and measurement invariance across genders. The results indicated that the Indonesian version of the DASS was a valid and reliable instrument for measuring and comparing depression, anxiety, stress, and psychological distress between genders in the Indonesian sample.
