The aim was to assess the psychometric measurement properties of the 21\u2010item Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS\u201021) used during the postnatal year in community samples of Swedish mothers and fathers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data were collected at postnatal months 1, 6 and 12 from 66 mothers (mean age 31\u2009years) and 58 fathers (mean age 32\u2009years). Psychometric measurement properties were assessed with interitem analysis and intra\u2010individual measurements cross\u2010correlations. As part of assessing construct validity, the hypotheses that the levels of the different types of postnatal distress as measured by the DASS\u201021 would be higher in mothers than in fathers were tested.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The DASS\u201021 internal consistencies were good for both parent groups. The DASS\u201021 depression scale correlated strongly with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) in mothers and moderately strongly in fathers at each timepoint. Correlations between the DASS\u201021 anxiety scale and the EPDS \u2018anxiety component\u2019 were mostly in the low\u2010to\u2010moderate range. The DASS\u201021 stress scale significantly distinguished parental distress levels in the expected direction, as did the total DASS\u201021 scale.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Similar DASS\u201021 psychometric properties to those demonstrated for non\u2010perinatal adult populations were indicated. The results suggest the usefulness of the DASS\u201021 during the early, middle and late postnatal periods for measuring types of as well as general maternal and paternal distress. Further analysis in larger perinatal parental samples for more conclusive results is warranted.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/cch.70099","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,5]],"date-time":"2025-06-05T18:34:24Z","timestamp":1749148464000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Validating
