Com a presente investigação procura-se averiguar as diferenças em termos da resiliência familiar e do burnout parental em função do sexo e da idade, examinar as diferenças em termos do burnout parental de acordo com o número de filhos e ainda relacionar a resiliência familiar e o burnout parental. A amostra carateriza-se por 271 pais, mães e pais, com idades compreendidas entre os 26 e os 61 anos (M = 41.90; DP = 7.016) e com filhos em idade préescolar (3 aos 5 anos), escolar (6 aos 11 anos) e adolescência (12 aos 18 anos). Os instrumentos utilizados para avaliar estas duas variáveis foram o Questionário Sociodemográfico, a Escala de Resiliência (CD-RICS) e o Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA). Os resultados obtidos indicam que a resiliência não difere de acordo com o sexo, mas relativamente ao burnout parental, o sexo feminino apresentou valores mais elevados de exaustão emocional e sentimento de estar farto do que o sexo masculino. Tanto a resiliência como o burnout parental não variaram de acordo com a idade. Relativamente ao número de filhos este não apresentou qualquer influência sobre o burnout parental e a resiliência demonstrou-se negativamente associada com o burnout parental. Concluímos, essencialmente, que existe uma relação entre a resiliência familiar e o burnout parental e, ainda, que as mães se demonstraram mais vulneráveis para com a exaustão emocional e o sentimento de “estar farto”. Torna-se relevante a promoção da resiliência familiar e a prevenção do burnout parental.
The present investigation intends to find out the differences of family resilience and parental burnout according to gender and age, to examine the differences of parental burnout according to the number of children and also relate family resilience and parental burnout. The sample is characterized by 271 parents, female and male, aged between 26 and 61 years (M = 41.90; DP = 7.016), with children of preschool age (3 to 5 years old), schoolchildren (6 to 11 years old) and adolescence (12 to 8 years old). The instruments used to analyze these two variables were the Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the Resilience Scale (CD-RICS) and the Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA). The results obtained indicate that resilience doesn’t differ according to gender, but regarding parental burnout, females showed higher values of emotional exhaustion and feelings of being fed up than males. Both resilience and parental burnout did not vary according to age. Regarding the number of children, this did not have any influence on parental burnout and resilience was negatively associated with parental burnout. We concluded, essentially, that there is a relationship between family resilience and parental burnout and, even more, that the mothers are more vulnerable to emotional exhaustion and the feeling of “being fed up”. It becomes relevant to promote family resilience and prevent parental burnout.
