Interest in the measurement of parenting confidence in research and clinical contexts has grown considerably in recent decades, particularly in the area of health care. Psychometric and technical characteristics of scales assessing this construct suitable for the parents of children aged 0-12 years were reviewed in this research. In so doing, information is provided that will assist clinicians and researchers in selecting a measure suitable to their needs. Thirty-six instruments assessing parenting confidence were located. Two dominant approaches to item selection were evident: (1) general items suitable for a range of child ages, or (2) task-specific items suitable for parents of a child of a particular age. Psychometrically, most scales possessed adequate reliability data, although validity data for many scales was limited. In addition, only two of the instruments, both with general items, had stratified normative data. Scales appropriate for a range of research purposes and some clinical applications are available. Further research is necessary to provide normative data for task-specific parenting confidence scales.
近几十年来，无论是在研究还是临床环境中，对育儿信心测量的关注度都有了显著增长，尤其是在医疗保健领域。本研究回顾了适用于0至12岁儿童父母的、评估这一概念的量表的心理测量和技术特征。这样做能够提供相关信息，帮助临床医生和研究人员选择适合他们需求的测量方法。共找到36种评估育儿信心的工具。项目选择有两种主要方法：（1）适用于不同年龄段儿童的通用项目，或（2）适用于特定年龄段儿童父母的特定任务项目。从心理测量角度来看，大多数量表都有足够的可靠性数据，不过许多量表的有效性数据有限。此外，只有两个工具（均为通用项目）有分层的常模数据。有适用于一系列研究目的和一些临床应用的量表。有必要进行进一步研究，为特定任务的育儿信心量表提供常模数据。
