The present study investigated the relation between family functioning and parental stress in parents of children diagnosed with ADHD who attends a Mental Health Hospital and an Association that supports families with children with this diagnosis. 87 parents participated answering the Parental Stress Index – Short Form (PSI-SF) to measure perceived parental stress, created by Abidin (1995), and the Family APGAR to measure the family functioning perception through the perception of support received from family members created by Smilkstein (1978). A high level of parental stress was identified, mainly stemming from the parents’ perception regarding the handling of their children’s difficult behavior, and the demands of their role as caregivers. Higher levels of stress were reported in parents with more children, in unemployed parents, in those who had not receives information about the diagnosis, and in those who attended their children with medical check-ups. In addition, it was observed that the parents had a low perception of family functioning. Parent of children who received medication and attended medical check-ups reported less family functioning. Finally, a significant and negative relationship was obtained between the scores of parental stress and the family functioning, where the higher stress, the less family functioning perceived.
