Abstract

Understanding the severity of the behavior problems can result in the development of the child throughout life, the aim of this study was to compare the perception of mothers in relation to behavior problems listed in the CBCL (Child Behavior Checklist) in two clinical samples composed of Brazilian and Spanish children diagnosed with ADHD. Method: The study is an exploratorydescriptive, documental, retrospective, cross-sectional, quantitative nature of the medical records treated between 2010 to April 2015 at the Hospital Universitario Virgen de la Arrixaca – Murcia/Spain, and the Hospital Universitário Bettina Ferro de Souza – Belém/Brasil. Results: The Brazilian mothers reported significantly higher scores on four scales compared to the Spanish mothers, and in the other, the scores were relatively similar in both cultures. Conclusion: cross-cultural studies have been essential to a better understanding of the similarities and differences in perceptions of people living in different cultures.
