“…Maternal burnout was negatively correlated with conscientiousness. Individuals with higher levels of conscientiousness reported fewer negative effects and were better able to automatically down-regulate parenting burnout.These results suggest that traits of a resilient personality are associated with lower parental [54] burnout [39,54].…”

“…The mean score of parental burnout in parents with at least a child based on PBA using the Likert 5 points [28,30,52] was 2.00 (SD = 0.80), based on PBA using the Likert 7 points [35,39,44,49] was 29.05 (SD = 19.53), based on PBS [31]was 2.15 (SD = 1.17), based on PBM-12 [40] was 28.03 (SD = 6.62) and based on PBI [47] was 3.34 (SD = 1.44).…”

“…The higher the monthly income, the lighter the sense of parental burnout [33]. Parental factors such as parental personality (neuroticism, agreeableness and conscientiousness) [29,40,43], internalization of maternal parental motivation [28], unmitigated communion [30], self-compassion and concern for others [32], alexithymia [33], anxiety and depressive symptoms [34], parental perfectionism [37,47], resilience [39], low self-esteem and high need for control [48], mother's attachment style [52] had a significant relationship with parental burnout among parents with at least a child.…”

“…Beyond that, childhood illness is also a risk factor for parenting burnout. In the case of children with autism [33,39], for example, the social and communication barriers associated with the disease lead to parenting burnout by affecting the interpersonal relationships between parents and children. Children' behavior problems and negative parenting behaviors were significantly positively correlated to parental burnout by affecting parent-child communication [42,44].…”

Background Parenting is both a complex and stressful endeavor, so parents sometimes experience parenting burnout. The main objective of this study was to provide an overview of factors related to general parental burnout (PB) among parents with at least one child based on the Ecological Systems Theory (EST). Methods PubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, CNKI and WanFang were systematically searched for studies published from 2010 to July 2023 for peer-reviewed articles using keywords extracted from Medical Subject Headings such as “parenting”, “parental”, “burnout”, “psychological burnout”, “burn-out syndrome”. Studies were included if they described associations between factors and PB among parents of children aged 0-18 years old in the general population, and published in an English or Chinese language peer-reviewed journal. The Quality Assessment Tool for Studies with Diverse Designs (QATSDD) was employed to assess the risk of bias of included studies. Results Of 2037 articles, 26 articles met the inclusion criteria. Based on the Ecological Systems Theory (EST), we found that microsystem-individual factors such as gender, educational level, income, parental personality, internalization of maternal parental motivation, unmitigated communion, self-compassion and concern for others, alexithymia, anxiety and depressive symptoms, parental perfectionism, resilience, low self-esteem and high need for control, mother's attachment style were identified as being associated with parenting burnout. Mesosystem-interpersonal factors involve parent-child relationship and marital satisfaction. The exosystem-organizational or community factors include the number of children in the household, neighborhood and the number of hours spent with children, child's illness, child's behavior problems and social support. The macrosystem-society/policy or culture factors are mainly personal values and cultural values. Conclusions This systematic review found several factors that have been investigated in relation to PB. However, the majority of the factors were reported by one or two studies often implementing a cross-sectional design. Nevertheless, we still recommend that health policymakers and administrators relieve parenting burnout among parents with children by adjusting these modifiable factors.

“…In this investigation, the threshold criterion employed is the acceptance of early intervention by parents of autistic children for a minimum duration of one year, which aims to examine the influence of such interventions on the ruminative thinking patterns of parents. Meanwhile, other researchers also adopted the annual timeframe as the basic unit for assessing the rehabilitative outcomes experienced by children with autism (32)(33)(34). Additionally, in a posttest study examining early intervention in children, it was found that by comparing the changes in the children before and after receiving the intervention for one year, the one-year duration allowed for a more accurate assessment of the intervention's effects (35).…”

ObjectiveAs the number of children diagnosed with autism rises year by year, the issue of nurturing this particular group becomes increasingly salient. Parents of autistic children, as the nearest and most reliable caregivers for their children, shoulder immense psychological strain and accountability. They are compelled to confront an array of daily life challenges presented by their children, as well as endure multiple pressures such as societal scrutiny and financial burdens. Consequently, the mental health status of the parents is of utmost significance.MethodsIn this study, questionnaire survey combined with literature analysis were applied. The rumination thinking scale and the social support scale were used to investigate the relationship between social support perceived by parents of autistic children and rumination. Meanwhile, the moderating effects of intervention on children with autism were also explored. It hopes that our research would provide a basis for alleviating psychological stress and improving the mental health levels of the parents. A total of 303 parents of children with autism were collected (including 160 females and 143 males). Corresponding data analyses were conducted using SPSS 26.0.ResultsParents of autistic children generally exhibited high levels of rumination, with significant gender differences. At the same time, the perceived social support by the parents significantly influenced their level of rumination. It showed that the higher the social support received by parents, the lower the level of rumination. More importantly, the extent of intervention received by the children had a regulating effect on rumination of their parents.ConclusionThe personalized psychological support programs should be developed based on the actual situation of parents, to better manage the challenges presented by raising a child with autism. Our findings would provide important theoretical underpinnings and practical guidance for psychological intervention efforts aimed at families of autistic children. Moreover, these findings offer novel insights for future research, with the potential to advance the field of mental health studies concerning parents of children with autism.

The concept of parental burnout has been proposed to be helpful for describing and understanding the impact of parenting children with complex care needs (CCN). The objective of this scoping review was to investigate, among parents of children with CCN (i) how burnout is conceptualized, (ii) differences in burnout scores, (iii) the prevalence of burnout, and (iv) the associated factors related to burnout. A stakeholder consultation including parents of children with CCN, healthcare professionals, and researchers, was conducted to understand their perspectives on important insights and gaps from the literature. A total of 57 studies were eligible for inclusion. Conceptualization of parental burnout varied widely across studies, with few studies investigating the meaning of the concept for parents. Burnout scores were higher among parents of children with CCN and prevalence estimates varied between 20 and 77%, and exceeded burnout among parents of children without CCN. Few studies included associated factors in the context of parenting and caregiving. Stakeholders endorsed the importance of studies into the multifactorial determination of burnout in the context of parenting and caregiving children with CCN. The results highlight the extremes of stress and burden experienced by parents of children with CCN. An important gap remains understanding the complex interplay between personal and contextual factors pertaining to risk and resilience.
