Abstract

SANTOS, Salomé Vieira. Características do stress parental em mães de crianças com Síndrome Nefrótico. Aná. Psicológica [online]. 2002, vol.20, n.2, pp.233-241. ISSN 0870-8231.

This study analyses the characteristics of parental stress experienced by mothers of children with Nephrotic Syndrome. The Portuguese version of Parenting Stress Index (PSI) from R. Abidin (1983, 1990) is used. The scale is composed by several subscales distributed by two Domains - Child/Parent - and it aims to assess the magnitude of stress in parent-child system. The participants are distributed by two groups: Group 1 (G1) - mothers of children with Nephrotic Syndrome (n=27); Group 2 (G2) - mothers of children without physical disease (n=27). The results show that mothers of G1 significantly differentiate from mothers of G2 in the Total of Stress, in the two Domains (Child/Parent) and in specific subscales. The discussion of the results takes in account not only the disease characteristics but also available information about other diseases obtained with the same instrument.

Keywords : Parental stress; mothers; chronic disease; Nephrotic Syndrome; children.
