Caring for an adolescent with a medical condition such as short stature (SS) is associated with emo-tional symptoms in caregivers. Sociodemographic or clinical factors, such as the number of children, the presence of any chronic condition, or the degree of height impairment in the adolescent, along with psychological factors like secure attachment, may buffer the impact. This study aimed to examine the socio-demographic, clinical and psychological factors, like attachment, associated with the emotional symptoms of caregivers of adolescents with SS. After receiving Ethics Committee approval and obtain-ing informed consent, 157 caregivers of adolescents with SS participated. We assessed sociodemo-graphic variables, anxiety, depression, and emotional distress using the Hospital Anxiety and Depres-sion Scale (HADS) and attachment via the Adult Attachment Questionnaire (CAA). Descriptive statistics, Student’s t-tests, and Pearson correlations were conducted. A substantial proportion presented with anxiety symptoms (46.90%), depressive symptoms (17.50%), and emotional distress (14.40%). Secure attachment, fewer children, the absence of chronic conditions in other children, and less height impair-ment in the adolescent were associated with lower symptomatology. Attending to the family during the evaluation and treatment process is essential when managing the condition
