The stress of parents who have a child hospitalizated in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) has been investigated thoroughly. Some authors have found that the level of stress and the depressive symptoms are two of the major predicting factors regarding how the family will be coping with the hospitalization (Speer, Leef, Epps and Locke, 2002). As interest in assessing the level of stress perceived by parents coping with this event has grown, Parental Stress Scale: Intensive Care Unit (PSS: NICU) (Miles & Holditch Davis,1987; Miles & Funk, 1998) has turned to be the best instrument worldwide used. It has demonstrated adequate psychometric properties, specially regarding validity and reliability in several countries. In this study, it is focus on the irst steps in the process of adaptation and the analysis of item functioning. Also, the analysis of item discrimination and the item-total correlation, are presented, as they contributed in obtaining the inal version of the adapted version of this instrument which will be validated in future studies.
