Abstract

The Parenting Stress Index-Short Form (PSI-SF) is one of the most commonly used measures of parenting stress both in clinical and research contexts. The PSI-SF is a 36-item, self-report measure with three subscales: Parental Distress (PD), Parent-Child Dysfunctional Interaction (PCDI), and Difficult Child (DC). The objective of this study was to analyse the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Spanish version of PSI-SF. Two different samples (N = 309) of mothers with children under 8 years old participated in the study. The first sample comprised 203 mothers with difficulties managing their children’s behaviour. The second sample comprised 106 mothers from the general population. Factor structure of the PSI-SF, convergent validity, and differences between groups were analysed. The expected three-factor structure was confirmed for both samples. Findings suggested that the total PSI-SF scale and the three subscales had adequate internal consistency and convergent validity. Differences between both samples, and between age and economic subgroups in the first sample were tested. The Spanish version of the PSI-SF can be considered an adequate measure of parenting stress in mothers of children under 8 years old with difficulties to manage their children’s behaviour. Further studies with extended samples from the general population are needed.

父母压力指数简表：西班牙语版本对0至8岁儿童母亲的心理测量特性

父母压力指数缩写（PSI-SF）是临床和研究中最常用的衡量父母压力的指标之一。PSI-SF是一项36项的自我报告测量，有三个分量表：父母痛苦（PD）、亲子功能障碍互动（PCDI）和困难儿童（DC）。本研究的目的是分析西班牙语版PSI-SF的因素结构和心理测量特性。有8岁以下孩子的母亲的两个不同样本（N=309）参与了这项研究。第一个样本包括203名难以控制孩子行为的母亲。第二个样本包括来自普通人群的106名母亲。分析PSI-SF的因子结构、收敛有效性和组间差异。两个样品都确认了预期的三因素结构。研究结果表明，总PSI-SF量表和三个分量表具有足够的内部一致性和收敛有效性。测试了两个样本之间的差异，以及第一个样本中年龄和经济亚组之间的差异。西班牙版的PSI-SF可以被认为是衡量8岁以下难以控制孩子行为的母亲的育儿压力的一个适当指标。需要对普通人群的扩大样本进行进一步研究。
