Parenting practices are a central focus of many family preventive and treatment programs due to their influence on children’s well-being. Reliable measures of parenting practices are relevant not only for research purposes, but also for assessment, selection of intervention goals, and evaluation of expected changes in clinical practice. However, measurement of parenting practices has been a challenge for researchers and practitioners. The Parenting Practice Interview (PPI) has been developed to assess both positive and negative parenting dimensions and has been used in clinical contexts. The present study aimed to develop a Spanish adaptation of the PPI and to analyze its main psychometric properties. The sample consisted of 213 parents with substantiated reports or at risk for child maltreatment with significant problems in coping with their children’s behavioral problems, recruited from Child Welfare and Child Protection Services. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), measurement invariance (MI), convergent validity, and differences based on parents’ and children’s age and gender were analyzed. A four-factor model with 25 items (Appropriate Discipline, Verbal Praise and Incentives, Inconsistent Discipline, and Physical Punishment) met statistical requirements (RMSEA = 0.06, CFI = 0.92, TLI = 0.91) and showed adequate internal consistency and convergent validity. MI analyses allowed comparison across time and groups. Although more research is needed, the PPI-25’s psychometric properties are encouraging for its use with families with substantiated reports or at risk for child maltreatment in Spain.

育儿实践是许多家庭预防和治疗计划的中心焦点，因为它们对儿童的福祉有影响。育儿实践的可靠测量不仅与研究目的相关，而且与评估、干预目标的选择和临床实践中预期变化的评估相关。然而，衡量育儿实践对研究人员和从业者来说一直是一个挑战。育儿实践访谈 (PPI) 已被开发用于评估积极和消极的育儿维度，并已在临床环境中使用。本研究旨在开发 PPI 的西班牙改编版本并分析其主要的心理测量特性。样本由来自儿童福利和儿童保护服务机构的 213 名父母组成，这些父母有经证实的报告或有虐待儿童的风险，在应对孩子的行为问题方面存在重大问题。验证性因素分析（CFA）、测量不变性（MI）、收敛效度以及基于父母和孩子年龄和性别的差异进行了分析。包含 25 个项目（适当纪律、口头表扬和激励、不一致纪律和体罚）的四因素模型满足统计要求（RMSEA = 0.06，CFI = 0.92，TLI = 0.91），并显示出足够的内部一致性和收敛效度。MI 分析允许跨时间和跨组进行比较。虽然还需要更多的研究，
