Investigating post-traumatic growth (PTG) in mothers with the experience of having a preterm newborn hospitalized in the NICU requires a valid tool. This study aims to determine the validity and reliability of the Farsi version of the post-traumatic growth inventory (PTGI) in mothers with the experience of having their newborns hospitalized in the NICU.
This study was methodological research.
In this study, 250 mothers who had newborns with a history of NICU hospitalization during the last 3 to 12 months and had visited paediatric clinics of the selected hospitals in Tehran with the aim of having their children's condition examined were selected through convenience sampling. The data were collected using a demographic information questionnaire and PTGI. The face validity, the construct validity (confirmatory factor analysis), and the internal consistency reliability of the inventory were measured using SPSS V22 and LISREL V8.8.
According to appropriate values for factor analysis fit indices (FI = 0.94, RMSEA = 0.07, IFI = 0.94, NFI = 0.93, RFI = 0.91, NNFI = 0.93, SRMR = 0.07), 21 items and 5 factors were confirmed for this inventory. Furthermore, Cronbach's alpha coefficient of this inventory was measured as α = 0.94.
According to favourable psychometric properties, the Farsi version of PTGI is a suitable tool for studying PTG in mothers with the experience of having preterm newborns in the NICU. Using PTGI can help nurses in planning family-centered care interventions to reduce the impact of the mental trauma caused by the preterm newborn's hospitalization in parents.

研究经历早产儿在新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）住院的母亲的创伤后成长（PTG）需要一个有效的工具。本研究旨在确定经历过新生儿在 NICU 住院的母亲使用创伤后成长量表（PTGI）的波斯语版本的有效性和可靠性。
这是一项方法学研究。
本研究采用方便抽样法，选取 250 名过去 3-12 个月内有新生儿在 NICU 住院史且曾前往选定医院儿科诊所检查孩子病情的母亲作为研究对象。使用人口统计学信息问卷和 PTGI 收集数据。使用 SPSS V22 和 LISREL V8.8 测量量表的表面效度、结构效度（验证性因素分析）和内部一致性信度。
根据因子分析拟合指数（FI=0.94、RMSEA=0.07、IFI=0.94、NFI=0.93、RFI=0.91、NNFI=0.93、SRMR=0.07）的适当值，该量表确认了 21 个项目和 5 个因素。此外，该量表的 Cronbach's alpha 系数为α=0.94。
根据良好的心理测量特性，PTGI 的波斯语版本是研究经历早产儿在 NICU 住院的母亲 PTG 的合适工具。使用 PTGI 可以帮助护士制定以家庭为中心的护理干预措施，以减轻因早产儿住院对父母造成的心理创伤的影响。
