A questionnaire was translated into Italian and administered to two sample groups. The first group (<i>n</i> = 200) was the control group and the second (<i>n</i> = 1137) the experimental group. The participants in the study were students enrolled in a special needs training teacher course or a specialization course that aims to train support teachers. The study conducted two analyses; factor and reliability analyses. The factor analysis utilized the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test which had a result of 0.925 for the scale; this was above the acceptable value of 0.7. The research studied 33 items and the BTS was significant for the 33 items scale (χ2 (528) = 4353.508, <i>p</i> < 0.001). Moreover, five eigenvalues greater than 1 were identified in the data, whereas the total variance explained was 63.7%. The reliability test utilized the Cronbach’s Alpha score (0.936) of the scale and the value is calculated based on the response of 1106 individuals. The value is well above the value of 0.80, which indicates a high internal consistency level of the different items of the scale. This study showed that the Italian version of the PSS is a reliable and valid measure that can be used for research and clinical purposes.Pierpaolo LimoneRoberto ZefferinoGiusi Antonia TotoGianfranco TomeiMDPI AGarticlework stressmental healthItalian professional stress scaleMedicineRENHealthcare, Vol 9, Iss 1434, p 1434 (2021)
