Aim:
The study determines the relationship between resilience and burnout in parents of children with chronic diseases and the influencing factors.
Method:
The study was conducted with a descriptive design. The study population consisted of the parents of children with any chronic illness who applied to the pediatric outpatient clinics of a state hospital located in a province in the northeast of Turkey. The study sample consisted of 207 parents who came to the hospital between October 2020 and June 2022, who met the criteria, and agreed to participate. "Descriptive Information Form," "Family Resilience Scale (FRS)," and "Burnout Inventory (BI)" were employed to collect data. The data were analyzed using the SPSS for Windows 22 package program.
Results:
37.2% of the parents participating in the study were in the age group of 30-39 years, 52.2% were female, 93.2% had no other children with chronic diseases, 20.3% were diagnosed with asthma, and the duration of the diagnosis was between 1 and 4 years in 44.4%. The participants scored 130.64 ± 25.73 points in the Family Resilience Scale and 36.16 ± 7.78 points in the overall Burnout Inventory.
Conclusion:
It was determined that parents' resilience was high and their burnout was moderate. Burnout decreases as resilience increases in parents of children with chronic diseases.
Practice Implications:
To strengthen family resilience and reduce parental burnout, nurses should support and provide holistic care to parents with chronically ill children.
