Objective: The purpose of the current research was to adapt the 4th version of the Parenting Stress Scale Short Form (PSI-SF) into Turkish. Methods: Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was carried out on the data obtained from 323 parents so as to investigate whether the factor structure in the original scale was congruent in the Turkish culture. In order to examine the reliability of the index, PSI-SF was administered to parents who applied to psychiatry services, counseling and research centers, and school psychological guidance and counseling services due to various psychological problems of their children and to those who did not apply to any of these services for their children. The significance of the scores taken from the measurement tool by groups was tested using t-test. The reliability of the index was determined through test-retest method on the 49 parents with a one-month interval. Results: As a result of the CFA, the goodness of fit values were found to be RMSEA=0.06, NFI=0.97, CFI=0.98 and GFI=0.95. The values obtained demonstrated that the original factor structure of the PSI-SF had a good fit with Turkish culture. Significant differences were detected between the parents whose children received and did not received psychological guidance or in all of the sub-dimensions of the PSI-SF. test-retest correlation values regarding the PSI-SF was calculated to be .58 for parental stress (PS) subdimension, 0.69 for parent-child dysfunctional interaction (PCDI) subdimension, 0.60 difficult child (DC) subdimension, and 0.91 for the whole index. Conclusion: The values obtained from the Turkish adaptation study of the PSI-SF revealed that the index is a reliable and valid measurement instrument to be used in Turkish culture. The PSI-SF can be used to determine the stress level of the parents and reveal its relationship with other variables. [Anadolu Psikiyatri Derg 2018; 19(1.000): 63-70]
