Published: October 2022

With validation studies conducted all over the world, the 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) has become a robust and widely used instrument for assessing the appraisal of stress. The present study was aimed at validation and testing for psychometric properties of the PSS-10 on the Bangladeshi population. Three hundred and fifteen adult (aged 18-64 years) from eight divisional districts of Bangladesh participated in this study. A good fit of the two-factor structure of the scale was indicated by multiple indices (χ2/df, root mean square error of approximation, comparative fit index, and standardized root mean square residual) on confirmatory factor analysis. The full scale demonstrated internal consistency, test-retest reliability and construct validity. The two factors also demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties. The psychometric properties of the Bengali PSS-10 demonstrated in this study suggest the PSS-10 as a valid and reliable instrument for use in Bangladesh and among Bengali-speaking populations.

Background/objectives: A reliable assessment of gluten-free diet (GFD) adherence is essential for managing celiac disease (CD). This study aimed to validate the Hellenic version of the Celiac Disease Adherence Test (H-CDAT) to evaluate adherence levels and explore the impact of dietary adherence on health-related quality of life (HRQoL)-both of which have never been objectively assessed in Greek CD patients.

Methods: The study included 102 adult CD patients who completed H-CDAT, diet-related questions, and the 36-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-36).
