Abstract

Background

Parental burnout's (PB) literature has blossomed, showing that PB is a major predictor in child maltreatment. But it is unclear at what PB stage parents become violent.

Methods

1466 parents answered a pre-registered three-wave longitudinal survey.

Results

PB seems to start with exhaustion, which catalyzes the development of all other PB symptoms. There seems to be a process relating PB symptoms to violence towards the offspring: exhaustion is prospectively linked to an increase in emotional distancing and feeling fed up, which are then linked to a prospective increase in violence.

Conclusions

Researchers would benefit from focusing more on the symptoms of PB, to increase nuance and give even more concrete suggestions for clinical practice. Clinicians should focus on reducing exhaustion as it seems to be the starting point of PB, and be alert to child maltreatment when emotional distancing or feeling fed up are mentioned. Implications are discussed.

父母职业倦怠的阶段及其与父母暴力的联系：纵向研究

背景父母职业倦怠（PB）的文献已大量出现，表明PB是儿童虐待的一个主要预测因素。结果父母职业倦怠似乎始于精疲力竭，而精疲力竭会催化其他所有父母职业倦怠症状的发展。父母对子女的暴力行为与父母衰竭症状之间似乎存在着一个过程：父母衰竭与情感疏远和厌倦感的增加有关，而情感疏远和厌倦感的增加又与暴力行为的增加有关。临床医生应将重点放在减少疲惫上，因为疲惫似乎是 PB 的起点，当提及情感疏远或感到厌倦时，应警惕儿童虐待。还讨论了相关的影响。
