    La experiencia de hijos/as de padres/madres con un trastorno mental grave (TMG) ha sido escasamente estudiada desde una perspectiva que considere la forma en que ellos mismos perciben las estrategias que han desarrollado para afrontar esta experiencia y los efectos, tanto positivos como negativos que ello ha significado en la propia vida. Esta investigación aborda estos aspectos a partir de un estudio cualitativo. Los participantes fueron 10 hijos (6 hombres y 4 mujeres con edades entre los 18 y 29 años). Se realizaron entrevistas semiestructuradas individuales y una grupal. Los resultados muestran que los descendientes usan una gran cantidad de estrategias de afrontamiento, muchas consideradas como fortalezas individuales que han favorecido su adaptación social. Estos hallazgos pueden ayudar a mejorar las intervenciones y a favorecer un trabajo preventivo con los hijos e hijas de personas que poseen un TMG.

    The experience of children that have parents with serious mental illness (SMI) has been scarcely studied from the perspective that considers the way in which they perceive the strategies they have developed to confront this experience and the effects, both positive and negative, that this has on their lives. This study focuses on these aspects using a qualitative approach. The participants were 10 offspring (6 males and 4 females between the ages of 18 and 29). Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted, as well as a group interview. The results show that the offspring in this study use a large number of coping strategies of which many considered to have helped them develop individual strengths and favor their social adaptation. These findings can contribute to improving interventions and promoting preventive work with children who have parents with SMI.
