The role of parenting stress on parenting self-efficacy and parental burnout among Turkish parents: a moderated mediation model
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: Parental burnout is a significant problem that negatively effects parent-child interaction, parenting skills, and child well-being. Research has identified parenting stress as one of the leading factors in parent burnout. Although crucial connections have been explained between parenting stress and parental burnout, not much is known about how parenting self-efficacy operates in these relationships. This study aims to investigate the roles of parenting self-efficacy and number of children in the relationship between parenting stress and parental burnout. METHODS: = 35.64 ± 9.28, Range = 25-65 years). The data were collected using a personal information form, the Parenting Stress Scale, the Parental Burnout Scale and the Parenting Self-Efficacy Scale. Relationships among variables were examined using Pearson's correlation, while moderated mediation analysis was carried out using Hayes's bootstrapping. RESULTS: The correlation analyses reveal a negative relationship between parenting self-efficacy and parenting stress, between parenting self-efficacy and parental burnout, and between parenting self-efficacy and number of children, while a positive significant relationship was found between parenting stress and parental burnout. The mediation analyses show parenting self-efficacy to mediate the correlation between parenting stress and parental burnout. The mediating effect of parenting self-efficacy is also moderated by number of children. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides empirical evidence for the effect of parenting stress and parenting self-efficacy on parental burnout, with fewer children in the household alleviating parental burnout.

High levels of psychological distress in parents are associated with lower parental self-efficacy.
“In the context of parenting, research suggests that high levels of psychological distress are associated with lower parental self-efficacy [2, 3], a higher probability of aggressive behaviors toward children [47], and physical and psychological health problems in parents [31, 50], although these studies have mostly focused on parents of children with special health conditions.”

The Introduction (pages not provided) links high parenting stress with low parental self-efficacy, and the Discussion reports a negative relationship between them. The source addresses stress related to parenting, not psychological distress in parents generally, so the claim is broader than the evidence. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
