“…Eleven instruments were identified, seven of which were specifically designed to measure parental stress in the healthcare setting: the Parental Stressor Scale: Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PSS:PICU) (Alzawad et al., 2020; Carter & Miles, 1989; Rei & Fong, 1996; Yacoub et al., 2013; Yam et al., 2004); the abbreviated 7‐item version of the PSS:PICU (A‐PSS:PICU) (Rodríguez‐Rey & Alonso‐Tapia, 2016); the Parental Stressor Scale: General Paediatric Care Unit (PSS:GCU) (Agazio & Buckley, 2012); the Parental Stressor Scale Infant Hospitalisation (PSSIH) (Navarro‐Tapia et al., 2019); the Parental Stressor Scale: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (PSS: NICU) (Aftyka et al., 2019; Barr, 2017; Domínguez‐Martínez & Cortés‐Escárcega, 2019; Franck et al., 2005; Masri et al., 2019; Månsson et al., 2016; Miles et al., 1993; Montirosso et al., 2012; Souza et al., 2011; Turan & Başbakkal, 2006); the Neonatal Unit Parental Stress scale (NUPS) (Reid et al., 2007); and the Paediatric Inventory for Parents (PIP) (Casaña‐Granell et al., 2018; Del Rincón et al., 2007; Larson et al., 2020; Olsson et al., 2018; Streisand et al., 2001). Also included were four generic instruments for measuring parental stress, adapted and validated for use in the healthcare setting: the Parental Stress Index (PSI) (Pereira et al., 2016) and its abbreviated version the Parental Stress Index‐Short Form (PSI‐SF) (Çekiç & Hamamcı, 2017; Dardas & Ahmad, 2013; Park & Chae, 2020; Touchèque et al., 2016; Yeh et al., 2001; Zaidman‐Zait et al., 2010); the Parental Stress Scale (PSS) (Leung & Tsang, 2010; Nielsen et al., 2020; Park et al., 2021; Zelman & Ferro, 2018); and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) (Remor, 2006).…”

AimTo identify scales that assess parental stress in the paediatric clinical population and to analyse their psychometric properties.MethodsFour electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and Scopus) and metasearch engines (Google Scholar and Open Grey) were searched with no time period limitations. Methodological quality was assessed using the COnsensus‐based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN) and quality of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation (GRADE) approach modified by COSMIN. Finally, recommendations were made for the instruments with the highest quality of evidence.ResultsA total of 38 studies reporting on 11 different instruments for assessing parental stress in the paediatric clinical setting were included. Six instruments were ‘A’ rated (recommended) in the final phase in line with COSMIN guidelines. The Paediatric Inventory for Parents was the instrument that evaluated the highest number of psychometric properties and obtained the highest methodological quality, global assessment, and quality of evidence for the different psychometric properties.ConclusionsThis systematic review provides an overview of the measurement properties of the parental stress instruments used in the paediatric clinical setting. The Paediatric Inventory for Parents stands out as being one of the most robust instruments for measuring stress in parents with a hospitalised or sick child. Evidence needs to be generated for all the parental stress scales used in the clinical setting.ImpactGiven that the psychometric properties of the existing parental stress scales used in paediatric health care settings have not been systematically assessed, the present review utilised comprehensive methods according to COSMIN.No Patient or Public ContributionReporting methodPRISMA statement and COSMIN reporting guidelines for studies on measurement properties of patient‐reported outcome measures.

Background: The admission of a newborn infant to a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) due to preterm birth or high-risk conditions, such as perinatal injury, sepsis, hypoxia, congenital malformation, or brain injury, is a stressful experience for mothers. There is currently a lack of research on maternal perceived stress and support in Egyptian NICUs and no validated Arabic tool to investigate this further. Purpose: To determine the reliability and validity of the Arabic language versions of the Parental Stressor Scale: NICU (PSS:NICU) and the Nurse Parental Support Tool (NPST). Methods: Egyptian mothers completed the PSS:NICU and the NPST at the time of their infants' discharge from the NICU. Reliability was assessed with Cronbach α and Spearman-Brown coefficient. The multifactorial structure of the PSS:NICU Arabic version was tested. Associations with sociodemographic and clinical variables were explored with bivariate correlations and t tests. Results: Sixty-eight mothers of preterm (PT) infants and 52 mothers of ill full-term (IFT) infants completed the study. Mothers of PT and IFT infants did not differ for sociodemographic variables. High internal consistency (α range between .93 and .96) emerged for both tools. Spearman-Brown coefficients ranged between 0.86 and 0.94. The multidimensional structure of the PSS:NICU was confirmed and 3 core dimensions explained up to 71.48% of the variance. Perceived nursing support did not diminish the effects of stress in mothers of infants admitted to the NICU, regardless of PT or IFT infants' status. A longer NICU stay was associated with greater stress in mothers of PT infants. The presence of comorbidities was significantly associated with stress of mothers of IFT infants. Implications for Research: Future research is needed to develop evidence-based support for mothers whose infants are admitted to a NICU in Egypt. The availability of validated and reliable PSS:NICU and NPST scales in Arabic will facilitate cross-country and cross-cultural research on maternal stress in the NICU. Implications for Practice: Neonatal care nurses in Egypt will be able to increase their understanding of the stressors experienced by mothers of infants admitted to the NICU. This will in turn enable the introduction of neonatal care policies aimed at reducing specific stressors and provide improved maternal support.
