Este trabalho pretendeu conhecer as carater?sticas sociodemogr?ficas de crian?as que viveram o div?rcio dos seus progenitores, determinar o seu n?vel de stress, conhecer os seus problemas de comportamento e analisar sintomas depressivos. Para isso, analisaram-se os resultados de 40 crian?as e adolescentes, entre os 11 e os 14 anos, na Escala de Stress Infantil (ESI, Lucarelli & Lipp, 1999), no Youth Self-Report (YSR, Achenbach, 1991, conforme citado por Fonseca & Monteiro, 1999) e no Children?s Depression Inventory (CDI, Kovacs, 1983, conforme citado por Sim?es, 1999). Os resultados demonstram que a maioria das crian?as e jovens considera que a fam?lia tem uma boa qualidade de vida e que ? capaz de se adaptar bem ?s dificuldades. Quanto ao grau de stress, tanto da fam?lia como a pr?pria crian?a, ? percecionado como baixo. Os jovens apresentam um valor baixo na autoavalia??o de diversos problemas de comportamento apresentando um n?vel m?dio de depress?o elevado. / The purpose of this study was to know the sociodemographic characteristics of children that experienced the divorce of their parents, to determinate their stress level, to know their behaviour problems and to analyse depressive symptoms. For that we analysed the results of 40 children and adolescents, between 11 and 14 years old, in Escala de Stress Infantil (ESI, Lucarelli & Lipp, 1999), in Youth Self-Report (YSR, Achenbach, 1991, as cited by Fonseca & Monteiro, 1999) and in Children?s Depression Inventory (CDI, Kovacs, 1983, as cited by Sim?es, 1999). The results demonstrate that the majority of children and young people consider that the family has a good quality of life and is able to adapt well to difficulties. The degree of stress, both by the family and the child itself is perceived as low. Young people have a low self-assessment of the various behaviour problems and have a higher average level of depression.
