A total of 140 primary caregivers, whose mean age was 45.43 years (SD = 5.03), of whom 85% were mothers, were assessed using the perceived stress questionnaire (PIP), and medical indicators related to asthma were recorded. Mean comparisons, correlations, and qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) models were used. The results indicated moderate levels of perceived stress in caregivers, no kinship differences were found, and age was negatively associated with perceived stress. QCA models suggested that perceived stress could be explained by a higher frequency of visits, poorer adherence, more frequent daily medication doses, and higher severity of asthma. In conclusion, the development of psychological interventions addressing the subjective overload of the family caregiver may benefit them, increasing their well-being, and in turn help to manage the emotional difficulties of adolescents.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children9111614","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,25]],"date-time":"2022-10-25T03:44:59Z","timestamp":1666669499000},"page":"1614","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Perceived Stress in the Primary Caregivers of Adolescents with Asthma: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5228-2738","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Selene","family":"Valero-Moreno","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Personality, Assessment and Psychological Treatments, Faculty of Psychology and Speech Therapy, Universitat de Valencia, Blasco Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez, 21, 46010 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2536-2019","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Inmaculada","family":"Montoya-Castilla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Personality, Assessment and Psychological Treatments, Faculty of Psychology and Speech Therapy, Universitat de Valencia, Blasco Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez, 21, 46010 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6312-7055","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konstanze","family":"Schoeps","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Personality, Assessment and Psychological Treatments, Faculty of Psychology and Speech Therapy, Universitat de Valencia, Blasco Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez, 21, 46010 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4595-8063","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Silvia","family":"Postigo-Zegarra","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Psychology, Faculty of Health Sciences, University European University of Valencia, Passeig de l\u2019Albereda, 7, 46010 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3532-8818","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mari\u00e1n","family":"P\u00e9rez-Mar\u00edn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Personality, Assessment and Psychological Treatments, Faculty of Psychology and Speech Therapy, Universitat de Valencia, Blasco Ib\u00e1\u00f1ez, 21, 46010 Valencia, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"281","article-title":"Instrumentos para la evaluaci\u00f3n de la sobrecarga del cuidador familiar de personas con demencia","volume":"5","author":"Martos","year":"2015","journal-title":"Eur.
