Burnout, child maltreatment, prevention, parental education, gender equalityAbstract
Education and parenting can generate exhaustion and stress in mothers and fathers. If this stress continues over time, parental burnout arises, which appears when parental resources are insufficient to cope with the stress factors linked to the care and education of their children. The study of parental burnout is very important because it causes serious negative consequences that affect parents and their families. Thus, parental exhaustion can lead to the emergence of child abuse, which has irreversible effects on the physical, emotional, and social development of minors. Therefore, the objective of this work is to analyze the relationship between parental exhaustion and child abuse. A systematic review was carried out using the PRISMA protocol as a reference. The databases used to search for information were ERIC, WoS and SCOPUS. After the selection process, applying the established inclusion and exclusion criteria, 15 articles were selected. The results found allow to conclude that parental exhaustion is related to neglect and parental violence. Furthermore, after analyzing the articles, different factors were identified that can prevent the occurrence of parental burnout and that should be considered when planning parental education interventions. The need to carry out social awareness initiatives, family training and early detection of parental exhaustion is highlighted to avoid the emergence of undesirable consequences.
