Abstract

The article describes the procedure of adaptation and psychometric parameters of the Polish version of the Parental Stress Scale (PSS). The PSS sees parenting as a source of both strength and stress. Therefore, assessing parenting experiences with the PSS enables one to measure both the level of parenting stress and parental satisfaction. The PSS has been shown to be reliable and moderately correlated with standardized measures in expected directions, suggesting its validity (Berry & Jones, 1995). In this research, we investigated parenting stress in a non-clinical, population-based sample of parents and examined the psychometric properties of the Polish version of the PSS. We analysed reliability, as well as factorial and convergent validity. Two online studies were conducted. In Study 1, parents (126 mothers and 124 fathers) were sent a survey link and requested to fill in the PSS, the Perceived Stress Scale, the Parenting Stress Index, the SF-36v2 Health Survey, and the Family Resilience Assessment Scale. Study 2 was conducted to check the PSS structure once again and assess its reliability. Parents (111 mothers and 41 fathers) filled out the Polish 16-item version of the PSS (PSS-PL). The PSS-PL demonstrated adequate convergent validity with expected correlations with parenting stress, perceived stress, quality of life, and family resilience. Our results suggest that the PSS-PL is a reliable and valid measurement tool to evaluate the level of parental stress in Polish parents. Implications of the findings and study limitations are discussed.

波兰语版父母压力量表的心理测量特性

本文介绍了波兰版父母压力量表（PSS）的适应过程和心理测量参数。PSS将养育子女视为力量和压力的源泉。因此，使用PSS评估育儿经历可以衡量育儿压力和父母满意度。PSS已被证明是可靠的，并且在预期方向上与标准化措施适度相关，表明其有效性（Berry&Jones，1995）。在这项研究中，我们在一个非临床的、基于人群的父母样本中调查了养育压力，并检查了波兰版PSS的心理测量特性。我们分析了信度，以及因子和收敛有效性。进行了两项在线研究。在研究1中，父母（126名母亲和124名父亲）收到了一个调查链接，并被要求填写PSS、感知压力量表、育儿压力指数、SF-36v2健康调查和家庭韧性评估量表。进行研究2是为了再次检查PSS结构并评估其可靠性。父母（111位母亲和41位父亲）填写了波兰16项版本的PSS（PSS-PL）。PSS-PL表现出足够的收敛有效性，与父母压力、感知压力、生活质量和家庭弹性的预期相关性。我们的研究结果表明，PSS-PL是评估波兰父母父母压力水平的可靠有效的测量工具。讨论了研究结果的含义和研究局限性。
