Abstract

Background: The stress experienced by parents in fulfilling their parental role has consequences for couple dynamics, parent-child interactions, and the mental health of parents. However, studies on the psychometric properties of the PSI-SF, particularly among Latin American parents, are scarce. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF).

Methods: The participants were Peruvian mothers and fathers with children in early childhood and primary education, with a mean age of 34.4 years (SD = 6.8). The sample was obtained in two phases: 130 participants for the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and 791 participants for the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA).

Results: The study results show a modified three-factor structure of the PSI-SF scale, with adequate fit indices (GFI = .99, AGFI = .99, SRMR = .024, CFI = .98, TLI = .98, RMSEA = .074) and loadings above 0.40. Additionally, the three factors of the scale demonstrated high reliability, with Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega values for Parental Distress (α = .94; ω = .95), Parent-Child Dysfunctional Interaction (α = .97; ω = .97), and Difficult Child (α = .94; ω = .94). The scale was also found to be invariant with respect to gender.

Conclusion: In conclusion, the study results suggest that the modified PSI-SF has adequate psychometric properties and is invariant for assessing parental stress in Peruvian fathers and mothers with children in early childhood and primary education.

秘鲁样本中养育压力指数简表的心理计量特性。

背景：父母在履行父母职责时所承受的压力会影响夫妻关系、亲子互动以及父母的心理健康。然而，有关 PSI-SF 心理测量特性的研究，尤其是针对拉美父母的研究却很少。因此，本研究旨在评估西班牙文版养育压力指数短表（PSI-SF）的心理测量特性：研究对象为有幼儿和小学子女的秘鲁父母，平均年龄为 34.4 岁（SD = 6.8）。样本分两个阶段获得：130 人参与了探索性因子分析（EFA），791 人参与了确认性因子分析（CFA）：研究结果表明，PSI-SF 量表具有修正的三因素结构，拟合指数充足（GFI = .99、AGFI = .99、SRMR = .024、CFI = .98、TLI = .98、RMSEA = .074），载荷高于 0.40。此外，该量表的三个因子均表现出较高的信度，父母压力（α = .94；ω = .95）、亲子功能失调互动（α = .97；ω = .97）和困难儿童（α = .94；ω = .94）的 Cronbach's alpha 值和 McDonald's omega 值均为 0。研究还发现，该量表具有性别不变性：总之，研究结果表明，修订后的 PSI-SF 具有充分的心理测量特性，并且在评估有幼儿和初等教育子女的秘鲁父亲和母亲的父母压力时具有不变性。
