Cross-Cultural Adaptation, Reliability and Validity of the Short Version of the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ) for Spanish Populations.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo translate, culturally adapt, and validate the short version of the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire for use in Spanish populations.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with parents of children aged 3-14 years attending private dental clinics, primary healthcare centers, and a university dental clinic. The adaptation process included forward translation, reconciliation, back-translation, expert review, and pilot testing. Psychometric evaluation of 334 valid responses was performed. Exploratory factor analyses examined the seven parenting dimensions and Baumrind's three parenting styles, and internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha.
resultsThe Spanish version showed satisfactory structural validity, replicating the three parenting styles (authoritative, authoritarian, permissive) and a coherent seven-dimension structure after removing three items (25, 26, 28) to improve reliability. Subscale internal consistency was acceptable (α = 0.84 authoritative; 0.74 authoritarian; 0.63 permissive). The authoritative style was most prevalent (M = 4.35, SD = 0.45). The final instrument included 29 items and showed improved reliability (α = 0.548).
conclusionsThe short PSDQ was successfully translated and culturally adapted for Spanish-speaking parents, demonstrating adequate validity and reliability. The validated instrument provides a practical and culturally appropriate tool for assessing parenting behaviors, with applications in research, clinical practice, and pediatric dentistry.
