The PSI-4-SF consists of three subscales: Parental Distress (PD), Parent-Child Dysfunctional Interaction (P-CDI), and Difficult Child (DC). A total stress score indicates the overall level of parenting stress as experienced by the parent. Parents rate the degree to which they agree with each statement (SA: Strongly agree, A: Agree, NS: Not sure; D: Disagree, SD: Strongly Disagree). Range: 36-180 with higher scores indicating higher levels of parenting stress.
