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.

Factor structure and internal consistency of the Spanish version of the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form. 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.
