This study‐ the first study on parental burnout in an Arabic speaking country in the Middle East‐ aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Lebanese translation of the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA‐Lebanese). The PBA‐Lebanese was administered to 200 Lebanese parents (67% mothers). The results showed parental burnout is a valid construct relevant to Lebanese culture. In particular, we replicated the original four‐factor structure of the PBA and we tested a second order factor structure through confirmatory factor analysis. The first and second order factor model fitted the data, and reliability indexes were high (α = .97 for exhaustion, .95 for contrast, .92 for feelings of being fed up, .80 for emotional distancing and .98 for the global score). There was no significant gender difference in the prevalence of parental burnout, but mean levels were higher in mothers than in fathers. Both less educated parents and single parents reported higher parental burnout, pointing to the possible role of education and social relations as protective factors for Lebanese parents.

黎巴嫩的父母倦怠：黎巴嫩阿拉伯语版父母倦怠评估的验证心理测量特性

这项研究是中东一个阿拉伯语国家的第一项关于父母倦怠的研究，旨在检查黎巴嫩语翻译的父母倦怠评估（PBA-黎巴嫩）的心理测量特性。对 200 名黎巴嫩父母（67% 的母亲）实施了 PBA-黎巴嫩语。结果表明，父母的倦怠是与黎巴嫩文化相关的有效结构。特别是，我们复制了 PBA 的原始四因子结构，并通过验证性因子分析测试了二阶因子结构。一、二阶因子模型拟合数据，可靠性指标高（α= .97 表示疲惫，0.95 表示对比，0.92 表示厌倦感，0.80 表示情绪疏远，0.98 表示整体得分）。父母倦怠的发生率没有显着的性别差异，但母亲的平均水平高于父亲。受教育程度较低的父母和单亲父母都报告称，父母的倦怠程度较高，这表明教育和社会关系可能成为黎巴嫩父母的保护因素。
