“…However, despite this recent increased interest in investigating parental stress, there are few measures available. The Parental Stress Index has been validated on a Russian sample ( Vasilenko et al, 2021 ) but is not yet available for free. To assess parental distress, questionnaires on daily stressors ( Petrash et al, 2018 ) and parental burnout ( Efimova, 2013 ) can be used.…”

Parental stress is defined as a personal response to stressors associated with being a parent. In recent studies, parental stress has been viewed as a component of normative parenting. The purpose of this study was to collect initial evidence of the construct validity and reliability of the Russian version of the 18-item Parental Stress Scale (PSS) using a sample of mothers of Russian primary school students. The results are the first wave of a longitudinal study. Mothers (n = 900) of fourth-grade students participated in the study and filled out an online survey. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of the PSS on the Russian mothers indicated two factors: parental stress and parental satisfaction, with good estimates of reliability. The PERMA-Profiler questionnaire was used to examine the convergent and divergent validity of the PSS. The results revealed significant correlations between parental stress and satisfaction and different aspects of well-being among the respondents. The initial investigation of this Russian adaptation of the PSS provides evidence of its reliability and validity. Despite the limitations and the need for further research, this version of the PSS can be recommended for use in studies on modern parenting as well as in psychological support, education, and development of programs promoting positive parent–child relationships by targeting parental needs.

This article presents the results of a study of the emotional state and stress of mothers attending their premature infants with structural intracranial changes at the stage of their stay in the neonatal intensive care unit, sociodemographic characteristics of the family, and the relationship between the studied indicators. Sample. The study included 77 mothers (age M±SD=32,1±4,7 years) of prematurely born children (gestational age 28,3±3,1 weeks; birth weight 1186±499 g; 40 boys). Methods. To assess the emotional state and stress of the mothers, the methods of assessing depressive experiences (BDI-II; Beck et al., 1996), anxiety (Spielberger et al., 1983), the Parental Stress Scale (Miles, 1987), and the Heidelberg Family Stress Scale (Sidor et al., 2007) were used. The results of the study indicate that 69,2% of the mothers show a strong level of depressive experiences, 29,3% show a moderate level, and 1,5% show a weak level. 63,5% of mothers are found to have high and 33% have moderate values of reactive anxiety, 42% have high and 52% have moderate values of personality anxiety. About 88% of mothers cite a feeling of helplessness from not being able to protect their child from painful procedures or from not knowing how to help their child during this period of his or her life as a source of stress. Characteristics of emotional state and different types of maternal family stress were shown to be associated with socio-demographic characteristics of the family, but were not significantly associated with indicators of newborn health status and type of treatment.

Objective. Adaptation of the Parental Stress Scale by J. Berry and V. Jones on a sample of mothers of Russian schoolchildren – first and fourth grade students of elementary schools in Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod region. Background. Modern parenting research highlights the complex nature of parenting experiences, the diversity of parental practices, the changes associated with the child's upbringing and the dynamics of the family system, and the combination of both positive and negative emotions in parenting. However, there is a noticeable shortage of tools in the Russian-language literature to measure both parental satisfaction and parental stress. Study design. The study was conducted using an online survey within the “Longitudinal study of factors of school failure”, implemented in Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod region. Participants. The study included a sample of 900 mothers of fourth grade and 1120 mothers of the first grade school students. Measurements. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and McDonald's Omega coefficients were used for psychometric data analysis. The PERMA Profiler questionnaire and correlation analysis were used to assess validity based on convergent and discriminant evidence. The data was analyzed in the Jamovi 2022 and R programs. Results. Factor analyses of the internal structure suggest two factors, including 8 items each. The subscales “Parental stress” and “Parental satisfaction” demonstrate a high level of internal consistency. The assessment of validity based on the convergent and discriminant evidence confirms the reliability and validity of the instrument. Conclusions. The scale demonstrates good psychometric properties and can be used for parenting research, as well as in applied projects to improve parental competence and emotional support for parents.
