ABSTRACT The Parental Stress and Coping Inventory (PSCI), a 5-point, 18-item questionnaire was evaluated and validated as a screening measure for parental stress in the current sample of 126 mostly low income and ethnic minority parents with typically developing children. One hundred twenty-six participants contributed data to the current receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) analysis. ROC analyses were conducted to determine the cutoff scores of PSCI parental distress, social support, and family-based support measures. We found an optimal parental distress cutoff point of 14.5 with an associated sensitivity of 73% and 82% specificity. The optimal cutoff point of social support measure was 23.5 associated with 76% sensitivity and 49% specificity. And, the optimal cutoff point of family-based support measure was 13.5 associated with 79% sensitivity and 56% specificity. This study not only provided evidence for the reliability and validity of PSCI, but also proved the inventory to be a simple, sensitive, and specific battery for screening for parental stress and coping.

父母压力测量的有效性和诊断准确性在有正常发育儿童的父母中

摘要 父母压力和应对量表 (PSCI) 是一个 5 点、18 个项目的问卷，被评估和验证为当前样本中父母压力的筛查措施，这些样本主要是 126 名低收入和少数民族父母，他们的孩子通常发育正常。126 名参与者为当前的接收者操作特征 (ROC) 分析贡献了数据。进行 ROC 分析以确定 PSCI 父母痛苦、社会支持和基于家庭的支持措施的截止分数。我们发现最佳父母痛苦截止点为 14.5，相关敏感性为 73%，特异性为 82%。社会支持措施的最佳截止点为 23.5，相关联的敏感性为 76%，特异性为 49%。并且，基于家庭的支持措施的最佳截止点是 13。5 与 79% 的敏感性和 56% 的特异性相关。这项研究不仅为 PSCI 的可靠性和有效性提供了证据，而且证明了该清单是一种简单、敏感和特定的用于筛查父母压力和应对方式的电池。
