Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effects of parental burnout on marital satisfaction. The study group consisted of 334 married participants with at least one child. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, the Marital Life Scale (MLS), and the Parental Burnout Assessment Scale (PBAS). Pearson correlation analysis was used to examine the effect of parental burnout on marital satisfaction, while simple linear regression analysis was used to examine its predictive effect. The regression analysis revealed that parental burnout has a significant and negative effect on marital satisfaction in married individuals. Furthermore, gender, income level, and daily usage time were found to significantly affect marital satisfaction, while age and number of children did not show significant differences.

Özet

Bu araştırma ebeveynlerin tükenmişlik durumlarının evlilikleri üzerindeki doyumlarına olan etkilerini incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu en az bir çocuğa sahip olan 334 evli katılımcılardan oluşmaktadır. Veriler Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Evlilik Yaşamı Ölçeği (EYÖ) ve Ebeveyn Tükenmişliği Değerlendirmesi Ölçeği (PBA) aracılığı toplanmıştır. Araştırmada ebeveyn tükenmişliğinin evlilik doyumu üzerindeki etkisi incelenirken Pearson korelasyon analizi kullanılmış; yordayıcı etkisi incelenirken basit doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada regresyon analizi ile elde edilen bulgulara göre evli bireylerde ebeveyn tükenmişliğinin evlilik doyumu üzerinde anlamlı ve negatif yönlü bir etkiye sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca cinsiyet, gelir düzeyi ve günlük kullanım süresi değişkenlerinin evlilik doyumu üzerinde anlamlı bir farklılık oluşturduğu; yaş ve çocuk sayısı değişkenlerinin anlamlı farklılık oluşturmadığı görülmüştür.
