Unlabelled: Today, talking about autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is the same as talking about cases that occur in one in 160 births worldwide. Some of them will be able to live independently when they grow up while others will have less autonomy and will be more dependent, requiring the support of caregivers throughout their lives.
Objective: Understanding the emotional burden that this could generate on parents, we sought to analyze the level of stress and coping techniques in caregivers of children with ASD in Chile, 2021.
Methods: Interview with a sample composed of 61 parents or guardians of people with ASD.
Results: After data analysis, it was possible to perform a statistically significant correlation (p=0.002) between the level of stress and the coping strategies (problem-solving, self-criticism, emotional expression, wishful thinking, social support, cognitive restructuring, problem avoidance, and social withdrawal). In addition, positive strategies that reduce stress levels in parents or caregivers of children with ASD were identified (problem resolution, cognitive restructuring, social support, and emotional expression).
Conclusion: Through this research, it was possible to respond to each of the stated objectives, managing to determine what were the characteristics of caregivers and their main difficulties. It was also observed that the majority lost the possibility of working to dedicate themselves to the care of the diagnosed person.
