Parental Burnout (PB) is an exhaustion syndrome resulting from exposure to overwhelming parenting stress. The current gold‐standard instrument, namely, Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA) was used in the International Investigation of Parental Burnout (IIPB), a 40‐country study of the prevalence of PB around the world. The IIPB study has stimulated worldwide interest, but efforts are still needed to validate the PBA in different cultures. This study is the first on PB in a collectivist, predominantly Islamic country. It aims to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish translation of the PBA. The PBA‐Turkish was administered to 452 Turkish parents (60% mothers). The results showed that the PBA is a relevant construct in Turkish culture. We replicated the original four‐factor structure of the PBA and tested a second‐order factor structure through confirmatory factor analyses. The first‐ and second‐order factor models fit the data well. The Emotional Distancing subscale, however, demonstrated lower reliability than the other subscales. We then attained measurement invariance across genders in a set of nested models with gradually increasing parameter constraints. Finally, non‐working and single parents reported higher PB, pointing to the possible role of relationships and support as protective factors for Turkish parents.

土耳其语版父母倦怠评估 (PBA) 的验证

父母倦怠 (PB) 是一种因承受巨大的养育压力而导致的疲惫综合症。目前的黄金标准工具，即父母倦怠评估 (PBA) 被用于父母倦怠国际调查 (IIPB)，这是一项对全球 40 个国家 PB 患病率的研究。IIPB 研究激发了全世界的兴趣，但仍需要努力在不同文化中验证 PBA。这项研究是集体主义、主要是伊斯兰国家的第一个关于 PB 的研究。它旨在检查 PBA 土耳其语翻译的心理测量特性。对 452 名土耳其父母（60% 的母亲）实施了 PBA-土耳其语。结果表明，PBA 是土耳其文化中的一个相关结构。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。一阶和二阶因子模型很好地拟合了数据。然而，情感距离分量表的可靠性低于其他分量表。然后，我们在一组逐渐增加参数约束的嵌套模型中获得了跨性别的测量不变性。最后，非工作和单亲父母报告了更高的 PB，表明关系和支持可能作为土耳其父母的保护因素。然后，我们在一组逐渐增加参数约束的嵌套模型中获得了跨性别的测量不变性。最后，非工作和单亲父母报告了更高的 PB，表明关系和支持可能作为土耳其父母的保护因素。然后，我们在一组逐渐增加参数约束的嵌套模型中获得了跨性别的测量不变性。最后，非工作和单亲父母报告了更高的 PB，表明关系和支持可能作为土耳其父母的保护因素。
