ResumoA síndrome do x-frágil é a principal causa de deficiência mental herdada, suplantada apenas pela síndrome de Down, sendo a mulher a principal transmissora. Indivíduos com a síndrome do X-frágil apresentam um conjunto de características que pode causar um impacto no sistema familiar. Este estudo investiga o estresse e o autoconceito em 15 pais e mães de meninos com a síndrome do X-frágil, 15 de meninos com Síndrome de Down e 15 de meninos com desenvolvimento típico, baseado no modelo biopsicossocial de Bradford. Os resultados revelaram uma diferença significativa no autoconceito (self pessoal) entre as mães de crianças com a Síndrome do X-frágil e as mães de crianças com desenvolvimento típico, mas não entre aquelas e o grupo S. de Down, sugerindo que o fator da transmissão por si só não explica as diferenças no autoconceito. Não houve diferença entre os grupos na medida de estresse. Palavras-chave: Síndrome do X-Frágil; Síndrome de Down; estresse parental; autoconceito; apoio social. AbstractThe Fragile X Syndrome is the major inherited intellectual disability, superseded only by Down Syndrome, and it is transmitted mostly by females. Patients with Fragile X Syndrome show a set of physical, clinical, behavioral and cognitive features that may impact the family structures, especially the parental figures. This study investigates the stress and self-concept of 15 parents of boys with Fragile X Syndrome, 15 parents of boys with Down syndrome and 15 with typical development accordingly to the biopsychosocial model of Bradford. The results showed a significant difference of self-concept between mothers of children with Fragile X Syndrome and typical developmental groups, but not in those with Down Syndrome, suggesting that the transmission factor solely does not explain differences in self-concept.
