    En la literatura científica es común hallar la correlación entre el nacimiento de un niño con retraso en el desarrollo o riesgo de padecerlo con un mayor nivel de estrés en los progenitores. El objetivo de este estudio era determinar qué variables influyen más en el estrés experimentado por los padres de niños con necesidades de Atención Temprana (AT). Método. Cuatrocientos seis progenitores de 239 de niños/as con necesidades de Atención Temprana colaboraron en esta investigación transversal. Se administró el Índice de Estrés Parental (Abidin, 2012) para medir el estrés experimentado por las familias. Resultados. Se halló una correlación negativa significativa entre la edad de las madres y el estrés percibido por estas. Además, las familias percibieron más estrés con niños diagnosticados de trastorno de conducta o trastorno del espectro autista (TEA). Conclusión. La edad de las madres y el diagnóstico del menor son variables que deben ser tenidas a la hora de realizar una intervención integral sobre la unidad familiar.

    In the scientific literature, it is common to find a correlation between the birth of a child with developmental delays or at risk of such delays and higher levels of stress among parents. The objective of this study was to determine which variables most influence the stress experienced by parents of children with Early Intervention (EI) needs. Method. Four hundred and six parents of 239 children with Early Intervention needs participated in this cross-sectional study. The Parental Stress Index (Abidin, 2012) was administered to measure the stress experienced by the families. Results. A significant negative correlation was found between the mothers’ age and the stress they perceived. Additionally, families reported higher stress levels when their children were diagnosed with conduct disorder or autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Conclusion. The mothers’ age and the child’s diagnosis are variables that must be taken into account when conducting a comprehensive intervention with the family unit.
