    AbstractThe Spanish Parental Stressor Scale: Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (SPSS:PICU) was developed to assess Hispanic parents' perceptions of stressful stimuli in the PICU. Twenty parents completed a personal data sheet and the SPSS:PICU. Alpha coefficients were 0.91 for the total scale and ranged from 0.47 to 0.94 for the subscales. The Sights and Sounds and Procedures subscales were the most stressful to Hispanic parents. Significant positive correlations were found between SPSS:PICU scores and parents' level of education. Although further instrument validation is suggested, this pilot study of the SPSS:PICU instrument proved to be reliable in assessing Hispanic parents' perceptions of stress.
