Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the short Indonesian version of the ASS (SIVASS) and to identify the most prevalent academic-related stress among adolescent students.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Method<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a cross-sectional study that consisted of two steps. The first step included translation, back-translation, cultural adaptation, content validation, and item eligibility analysis to shorten the Indonesian version of the ASS. Content validity was assessed by five experts using the item-level content validity index (I-CVI), scale-level content validity index (S-CVI), and kappa statistics. The second step was conducted to evaluate the construct validation and reliability analysis of the SIVASS using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and to identify the internal consistency. A total of 464 students from three schools in Jakarta were randomly divided into two subgroups (n = 232 each) for EFA and CFA. EFA and reliability analysis were conducted using SPSS version 29, and CFA was performed using Lavaan in R.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Based on the first step results, 18 items of the Indonesian version of the ASS were eligible for further construct analysis.
