Objective: to assess the degree of family functioning of children and adolescents with chronic illness. Methods: a quantitative and cross-sectional study carried out in two reference services in the city of João Pessoa, PB, Brazil, between April 2017 and January 2018. Two instruments were used, one for registration and monitoring and the other for assessing family functioning. In the interpretation of data, correspondence analysis and weight of evidence were applied. Results: 79 caregivers of children and adolescents with chronic illnesses participated, in which 65% were classified as functional families and 35% as dysfunctional families, 50.6% were female children, 43% were under five years old, 59.5% were mixed raced. The main caregiver was the mother (93.7%), 66.1% mixed raced, 45.6% married, 68.4% unemployed, with a family income of less than two minimum wages and registered in a government social program (72.2 %). There was a relationship with a functional family: involvement in care, non-separation after the discovery of the illness, family union after the illness, child in later childhood (6-12 years), child/adolescent performing self-care, family income, receiving support and dependence of complex care. Family dysfunction was inversely linked to functionality factors. Conclusion: the ability to adapt and good family functioning are stronger when the family has better articulation with its social support network.
