This research aimed to analyze the level of parental stress in parents of university students studying away from home. A quantitative approach was used, collecting data from 53 parents through a questionnaire developed by Abidin, R.R. (1995). This study explored the level of stress experienced by parents of university students. The results revealed that a significant percentage of these parents reported high levels of stress, mainly attributable to concerns about their children's academic, social, and financial well-being, difficulty maintaining effective communication at a distance, and feelings of isolation. Additionally, significant differences in stress levels were identified based on variables such as the parent's gender and the length of time their child had been studying away from home. These findings highlight the need to develop specific support programs for parents of university students studying abroad, focusing on stress management, improving family communication, and strengthening social networks. The results of this research contribute to a better understanding of the experiences and needs of these parents and offer valuable implications for clinical practice, education, and public policy
