Parental burnout in Iran: Psychometric properties of the Persian (Farsi) version of the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA)

Parental burnout in Romania: Validity of the Romanian version of the parental burnout assessment (PBA‐RO)

“…Considering the Romanian cultural background that was set out in the introduction section, expected gender differences were found, which was not the case in studies conducted in Eastern and collectivistic cultures [i.e., Iran (Mousavi et al, 2020) and Turkey (Arikan et al, 2020)] included in the current thematic issue. Although gender stereotypes have faded amid the adoption of an egalitarian model of the family including greater flexibility between partners, Romanians' attitudes towards the family still remain predominantly conservative.…”

Parenting and parental burnout in Africa

“…Fifth, it must be acknowledged that the extremely high correlations found between the four dimensions of parental burnout, question the discriminant validity of the four subscales. This problem is however not specific to African parents but has been observed in other countries suggesting the existence of a unique construct of parental burnout around the world (Arikan, Üstündag-Budak, Akün, Mikolajczak, & Roskam, 2020;Matias et al, 2020;Mousavi, Mikolajczak, & Roskam, 2020). Lastly, the different sampling procedures (i.e., stratified, convenience, and snowball) and survey methods (paper and pencil, and in some cases a mix of the two) used in the four countries mean that the results need to be interpreted with great caution.…”

Psychological Well-Being, Marital Satisfaction, and Parental Burnout in Iranian Parents: The Effect of Home Quarantine During COVID-19 Outbreaks

“…This self-report scale includes 23 items in a 7-point Likert scale from never (0) to every day (6) that was prepared by Roskam et al (2018) to assess parental exhaustion from parenting responsibilities in four subscales: exhaustion of the parental role, contrast with the parental self in the past, feeling of being fed up, and emotional distancing from children. The scale was validated in Iranian by Mousavi et al (2020), and Cronbach's alpha was obtained at the range of 0.60-0.93 for subscales. Participants were asked to express their perceptions of experiencing burnout before and after the COVID-19 outbreak that forced home quarantine in two sections with past (for example, "I couldn't stand my role as father/mother anymore.")…”

“…Parental burnout is a state of emotional exhaustion that is associated with a change in positive attitudes toward children (Luescher et al, 1999) and is defined in four dimensions as the feeling of exhaustion of parental role leading to low parental efficiency, feeling of fed up, contrast with the past parental role, and emotional distancing from children (Roskam et al, 2018). Studies have shown that PB is associated with parent-child demographic factors, such as the age of mother and child, the number of children at home, the number and gender of caregiver, socio-economic status of the family, the physical and mental conditions of parentchild (Blanchard et al, 2006;Norberg, 2007;Lindström et al, 2011;Vinayak and Dhanoa, 2017;Le Vigouroux and Scola, 2018;Mikolajczak et al, 2018b;Mousavi et al, 2020), personal factors, such as emotional intelligence and high parental selfefficacy beliefs, and interactional factors, such as positive parenting practices, co-parenting, and marital satisfaction (MS) (Mikolajczak et al, 2018b).…”
