摘要

Background

The literature includes some scales that measure parental burnout levels appropriate to Turkish culture, yet no scales were found to measure working parents’ burnout levels. The purpose of this study is to test the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Working Parent Burnout Scale for parents with children under the age of 18.

Methods

The target population of this methodological study consisted of working parents with children under the age of 18 who lived in a province in eastern Türkiye between November 2023 and June 2024. Convenience sampling was used to determine the study sample, which consisted of three groups. Data were collected from 155 working parents for exploratory factor analysis, from 315 working parents for confirmatory factor analysis, and from 60 working parents for test-retest reliability. Data were collected through the “Personal Information Form” and the “Working Parent Burnout Scale”.

Results

The total content validity index score of the Working Parent Burnout Scale was found to be 0.94, and the content validity ratio score was found to be 0.94. The factor loadings of the items on the scale ranged from 0.543 to 0.832. The CFA analysis results yielded the following goodness-of-fit values: χ²/Sd = 82.452/33 = 2.499; p < .001; CFI = 0.912; TLI = 0.889; GFI = 0.961; AGFI = 0.910, SRMR = 0.064; RMSEA = 0.072. The correlations between the scale items and the total scale ranged from 0.487 to 0.764. The scale consisted of 10 items and a single dimension. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was found to be 0.864.

Conclusion

The Turkish adaptation of the Working Parent Burnout Scale is a valid and reliable scale that can be utilized in both clinical and research settings to assess the level of burnout among working parents.
