Depression, anxiety, and stress are increasingly recognised as serious issues among older people living in the community. The DASS measures these negative emotional states and aids in assessing psychological distress and the severity of depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms.
In terms of broader clinical assessment, the DASS helps clarify psychological distress and the severity of the core symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress.
This package includes a PowerPoint presentation, a web-snap video from Lorraine Poulos RN and Jacqui Culver Nurse Practitioner, and a sample assessment tool.
