Description

Regina Matey Sánchez, Mónica Riaza Gómez, and Miguel A. Reina adapt a neonatal intensive care parent stress scale for Spain, in 2026. Parents of babies in intensive care face helplessness and anxiety that affect bonding and outcomes. Translation, back translation, expert review, and a pilot with fifteen parents preceded testing in 160 parents, split evenly between mothers and fathers.

Reliability was excellent, with a total consistency score near 0.97 in the reported alpha values. The original four factor structure fit poorly in Spanish data. A five factor structure under one general stress factor fit better, though still below standard thresholds. Larger independent samples must confirm the structure before wide clinical use.
