    Quality of life refers to a series of conditions an individual should enjoy; however, having a child with a disability can lead to situations of distress, economic problems, and/or stress for family members or caregivers. Objective: To determine how the quality of life of caregivers is related to the functional disability of children. Methodology: The research method is hypothetical-deductive, quantitative, applied type, non-experimental design, and a correlational cross-sectional sub-design. The sample consisted of 80 caregivers and children. The instruments used were the SF-36 for caregiver quality of life and the PEDI-CAT for functional disability. Results: In this study, it was found that the highest percentage of caregivers are between the ages of 30-39 (49%). Additionally, 47.5% of caregivers report a good quality of life, while 52.5% report a poor quality of life. It also shows that 54% of children have decreased functional abilities, 21.3% have an expected average level, and 11.3% perform above expectations. Conclusions: A relationship was found between caregiver quality of life and children's functional disability (rho = 0.611). The greater the disability of the child, the lower the caregiver’s quality of life.
