The Brazilian–Portuguese version of the Parental Burnout Assessment: Transcultural adaptation and initial validity evidence

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.…”

Validation of the Polish version of the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA)

“…In line with the original PBA (Roskam et al, 2018), it was hypothesized that a four-factor solutionexhaustion in parental role, contrast in parental self, feelings of being fed up with parenting (i.e., saturation) and emotional distancing from one's children, with correlated latent factors-would fit to the data. Likewise, driven by the theoretical conceptualization of parental burnout and by recent factorial analyses of PBA (Aunola, Sorkkila, & Tolvanen, 2020;Manrique-Millones et al, 2020;Matias et al, 2020;Mousavi, Mikolajczak, & Roskam, 2020), an alternative second-order factor model with the four factors as first-order factors and parental burnout as second-order factor was tested. It was also expected that the reliabilities of the global score of the PBA-PL and its four subscales would all be satisfactory.…”

Parental Burnout and the COVID‐19 Pandemic: How Portuguese Parents Experienced Lockdown Measures

“…Given this literature, it is unsurprising that research indicates a higher average level of parental burnout among mothers than fathers, explained by social gender roles that reinforce the representation of the mother as the childcare expert while the father remains her assistant (Matias et al, 2020; Roskam & Mikolajczak, 2020). Also, it is important to note that mothers make up 87% of single‐parent families in Portugal, which means in 87% of cases, it is the mother who lives with the children (Instituto Nacional de Estatística, 2014).…”
