    Ciento cincuenta y cinco madres de niños con un trastorno de déficit de atención con hiperactividad (TDAH) completaron una entrevista semi-estructurada y el Indice de Stress Parental de Abidin (1990). También se administró la Escala de Paternidad (Arnols, O'Leary, Wolff & Acker, 1993) para evaluar estrategias disfuncionales de disciplina. Se plantea un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales en el que se comprueba que las variables independientes son las características del niño y el estatus socioeducativo de la familia; las variables intermedias son el estrés parental, tanto del dominio de los padres como del dominio del niño; y la variable dependiente fue la disciplina parental. Los resultados confirman nuestras hipótesis. Por consiguiente, en las intervenciones con estas familias debe de incorporarse un componente que se centre en el estrés parental, por su papel determinante en el ejercicio de la disciplina parental.

    One hundred and fifty-five mothers of children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) completed a semi-structured interview, the Parenting Stress Index Questionnaire (Abidin, 1990), to evaluate parenting stress. The Parenting Scale (Arnold, O'Leary, Wolff & Acker, 1993) was also administered to measure dysfunctional discipline strategies. Structural equation modeling was used to test a model in which the independent variables were the Child's Characteristics and the Socio-Educational Status of his or her family; intermediate variables were Parenting Stress concerning the Child Domain and concerning the Parent Domain; and the dependent variable was Parental Discipline. The results confirm our hypotheses. Interventions in these families should therefore incorporate a component focused on Parenting Stress (in both the Child Domain and the Parent Domain), as a determinant of Parental Discipline.
