Abstract:
Parental burnout is a set of negative symptoms resulting from parenting roles and chronic paren-ting stress,such as feelings of depletion associated with the parenting role and maintaining emotional distance from children.This paper analyzes a representative body of literature on parental burnout published through 2023 and pro-vides an overview of the literature around parental burnout definition and measurement,antecedent variables,and consequential variables.The results indicate that demographic variables,individual and family factors can influence parental burnout,and that the consequences of parental burnout are primarily reflected in the parents themselves and their children.The prevalence of parental burnout is influenced by sociocultural factors,but the mechanism of action is unclear and there is less research on interventions for parental burnout.Future research should pay full attention to the role and place of sociocultural factors in the study of parental burnout and actively pursue intervention research on parental burnout.
