Abstract

To evaluate psychometric properties of the Polish version of the Parenting Sense of Competence Scale (PSOC-PL) by Johnston and Mash for measuring parental competences in mothers of children under 2 years old. The Parenting Sense of Competence Scale is a self-assessment method. It consists of 17 statements which allow to assess general scores on parental competences as well as each of the two dimensions: Satisfaction and Self-Efficacy. The study was conducted in a group of 251 women with children under 24 months of age. The mean age of the participants was 29,35 years (SD = 4,57). The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale and the Sense of Stress Questionnaire were used additionally to assess validity of the Polish version of the adapted tool. PSOC-PL is a reliable and valid tool. The factor structure is similar to the original one – as a result of the conducted analysis, there was obtained the 15-item version of PSOC, which has a two-factor structure – factor I: Satisfaction and factor II: Self-Efficacy. The results obtained in PSOC-PL in the current study show statistically significant correlations with level of stress and intensity of depressive symptoms. The results of the reliability of PSOC-PL do not differ from the results obtained in the original and other validation studies all over the world. The Polish version of the tool meets the basic psychometric criteria and can be used to assess competence of mothers of young children.
