RESUMO
The purpose of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form in a sample of 115 fathers of infants aged between ten and thirty-nine months old. The exploratory factor analysis revealed three reasonably distinct factors, as in the original version of the instrument. The three extracted factors: Parental Distress, Parent-Child Dysfunctional Interaction and Difficult Child accounted for 47.48 % of the variance. The internal consistency coefficients were high in each factor or subscale. These results provided empirical evidence in favour of the reliability and validity of the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form in Spanish fathers, and can be useful to elucidate the mechanisms through which stress impacts parenting and permitting to develop more targeted interventions for infants and their families.

El propósito de este estudio fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión española del Parenting Stress Index-Short Form en una muestra de 115 varones, padres de niños con edades comprendidas entre 10 y 39 meses de edad. El análisis factorial exploratorio destacótres factores razonablemente distintos, al igual que en la versión original del instrumento. Los tres factores extraídos, denominados Malestar Paterno, Interacción Disfuncional Padres-Hijo y Niño Difícil explicaron el 47.48% de la varianza. Los coeficientes de consistencia interna fueron elevados en cada uno de los factores o subescalas. Estos resultados aportaron evidencia empírica a favor de la fiabilidad y validez del Parenting Stress Index-Short Form en hombres españoles, pudiendo ser útil como instrumento para esclarecer los mecanismos por los que el estrés influye en los padres y para elaborar mejores intervenciones para los niños y sus familias (AU)

The aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of Parenting Stress Index-Short Form. After translating the instrument from English into Spanish using the forward-backward translation method, it was administered to a sample of 129 mothers of children aged between 10 and 39 months olds. The exploratory factor analysis identified two factors: Childrearing Stress and Personal Distress, which accounted for 48.77% of the variance. The internal consistency of these factors was high (Childrearing Stress: .90 and Personal Distress: .87). Implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión española del Parenting Stress Index-Short Form. Después de traducir el instrumento utilizando el procedimiento de traducción (inglés-español) y retrotraducción (español-inglés), se administró a una muestra de 129 madres de niños entre 10 y 39 meses de edad. El análisis factorial exploratorio identificó dos factores: Estrés derivado del Cuidado del Niño y Malestar Personal, que explicaron el 48,77% de la varianza. La consistencia interna de dichos factores fue elevada (Estrés derivado del Cuidado del Niño: 0,90; Malestar Personal: 0,87). Se discuten las implicaciones de estos hallazgos y se dan sugerencias para futuras investigaciones(AU)
