Abstract

HUAYNA RUIZ, Angela; RAMOS LARREA, Carlos  and  SALAS-BLAS, Edwin. LOCUS OF CONTROL AND PERCEIVED STRESS IN PARENTS OF CHILDREN WITH CHRONIC DISEASES. Ajayu [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.2, pp.395-415. ISSN 2077-2161.

The aim was to analyze whether there are differences in the levels of stress perceived by the parents of children with chronic health problems, according to the type of locus of control (external or internal). The participants were 113 parents who have children with chronic health problems, and who voluntarily agreed to answer the prepared questionnaires and that are part of the measurement booklet, 65.5% being women and 34,5% being men. The Rotter Locus of Control scale, adapted in Peru by Brenlla and Vázquez (2010) and the Perceived Stress scale adapted in Peru by Guzmán (2016), were applied to this sample. The analysis of the data found determines that parental stress is not significantly differentiated by the type of locus of control that it possesses, but differences are reported according to the diagnosis of the child with chronic disease and by the origin of the same.

Keywords : illness; locus control; eustress; distress.
