With the arrival of biologicals and the concept of “treat to target,” there was an increased need for tools of quantified assessment of disease activity in RA patients (Anderson et al., 2011). Clinical features such as the number of tender and swollen joints were combined with blood tests and general health assessments to generate various DASs.
The logistics of planning an MBA

Equally there are disadvantages. As described in Chapter 1, those doing full-time courses tend to be younger and so the networking opportunities may be less mature, taking time to become useful as individuals grow into new and exciting roles. Similarly, the experience that students bring to dass discussions and group work is often more limited, as a result of more restricted world experience Whilst grappling with the dual demands of a job and a Masters are challenging, it can be useful to have ongoing experiences which add relevance to the taught experience. For project work, it is sometimes easier to gain access to data and people if they are connected to your day-to-day role.

A cross-sectional design was adopted to facilitate the survey regarding treatment adherence and its determinant factors of patients with hypertension in Muara Satu Community Health Centre of Lhokseumawe City, Aceh Province (Indonesia). Roy’s Adaptation Model was used as the theoretical framework. The data were collected using MMAS-8, DASS-42 and SSQ-6 and self-reported questionnaires.

The shortened, 21-item version of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS-21) was developed by Henry and Crawford30 based on a 42-item self-report questionnaire created by Lovibond and Lovibond.31 The measure has three subscales measuring depression, anxiety, and stress, each being measured using 7 items. Each item was rated on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 (Did not apply to me at all) to 3 (Applied to me very much, or most of the time), corresponding to the extent of symptoms experienced in the past week. The DASS-21 was scored by summing the scores for each subscale, with higher scores indicating greater symptom severity. Internal consistencies for the present study were α = .85 for the anxiety subscale, α = .87 for the stress subscale, and α = .88 for the depression subscale, which are similar to those found in validation samples.30,32 All subscales display good convergent and discrimination validity.30

The Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS) is a 42-item scale that assesses three internalizing symptoms—depression, anxiety, and stress—experienced in the past week.43 Each question is scored from 0 to 3 based on symptom frequency, with domains derived from summing the scores of relevant items. Higher scores indicate greater symptom severity. In a college sample, the DASS-42 scale demonstrated good psychometric properties. The Cronbach’s alphas were 0.92 for depression, 0.86 for anxiety, and 0.88 for stress; the Pearson’s correlation coefficients between DASS subscales and another well-established scale to measure internalizing symptoms are 0.64 for depression, 0.58 for anxiety, and 0.59 for stress.44 In this study, the Cronbach's alphas were 0.96 for depression, 0.90 for anxiety, and 0.92 for stress.

The DASS is a 21-item questionnaire that includes three self-report scales designed to measure the negative emotional states of depression, anxiety, and stress. For each scale (depression, anxiety, and stress), the scores are summed for identified items. The high scores on each scale indicated high levels of severity of a range of symptoms. Respondents are asked to use four-point severity/frequency scales to rate the extent to which they have experienced each state over the past week. The scale has high internal consistency with Cronbach’s alphas ranging from 0.81 to 0.94 for the subscales, and adequate validity using a variety of nonclinical samples (Antony et al., 1998).The DASS has good internal reliability (depression scale α = 0.91, anxiety scale α = .81, stress scale α = .89) in a university sample (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995). Strong correlations were also found between scales with depression–anxiety r = .42, anxiety–stress r = .46, and depression–stress r = .39. The DASS depression scale is highly correlated with the Beck depression inventory (r = .74) (BDI; Beck et al., 1996) while the DASS anxiety scale and the BAI were correlated r = .81 (Beck & Steer, 1993).
