Abstract
La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo principal describir y analizar la relación entre los
niveles de estrés parental y las estrategias de afrontamiento en un grupo de 110 de padres de niños
con cáncer que se atendían en el Instituto Nacional de Enfermedades Neoplásicas (INEN). Como
objetivos específicos se planteó comparar el estrés parental y las estrategias de afrontamiento
según los datos sociodemográficos de los padres, del niño y datos de la enfermedad del paciente.
Para ello, se aplicó un cuestionario para medir el estrés parental (PSI-4-SF) y otro para identificar
las estrategias de afrontamiento (COPE). Se encontraron diferencias significativas según el lugar
de procedencia, nivel de instrucción, estado civil, enfermedad del niño y tratamiento. En cuanto
al objetivo principal, se encontraron correlaciones entre el estrés parental y sus subescalas, con
las estrategias de afrontamiento. Es así que, el estrés parental total, malestar paterno y
características difíciles del niño se relacionaron de manera inversa con las estrategias de
desentendimiento conductual y mental. Asimismo, el malestar paterno se relacionó de manera
inversa con la búsqueda de soporte social por razones emocionales y uso de la religión.
Finalmente, se asociaron de manera positiva la relación padre-hijo y varias estrategias de
afrontamiento.
The main objective of this research was to describe and analyze the relationship between parental stress levels and coping strategies in a group of 110 parents of children with cancer who were treated at the National Institute of Neoplastic Diseases (INEN). As specific objectives, it was proposed to compare parental stress and coping strategies according to the sociodemographic data of the parents, the child and data on the patient's disease. For this, a questionnaire was applied to measure parental stress (PSI-4-SF) and another to identify coping strategies (COPE). Significant differences were found according to place of origin, educational level, marital status, child's illness and treatment. Regarding the main objective, correlations were found between parental stress and its subscales, with coping strategies. Thus, total parental stress, parental distress, and difficult child characteristics were inversely related to behavioral and mental disengagement strategies. Likewise, parental discomfort was inversely related to the search for social support for emotional reasons and the use of religion. Finally, the father-son relationship and various coping strategies were positively associated.
