Burnout and related factors in mothers of preschool children.
Article in Archives of women's mental health, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeBeing a parent, in addition to its rewarding aspects, also involves significant psychological and physical challenges. When the balance between caregiving burden and support resources is disrupted, it becomes almost inevitable for mothers to experience burnout. We designed our study to investigate the factors related to burnout complaints in mothers of preschool children.
methodsThe sample of our study consisted of 80 mothers who presented to psychiatry clinics with burnout complaints and 80 healthy controls. Data collection tools included the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Parenting Stress Index, and the Spousal Support Scale. Scale scores were compared between the groups. The mediating role of the Spousal Support Scale (SSS) in the relationship between the Parenting Stress Index (PSI) and the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) was tested using path analysis.
resultsNo statistically significant age difference was found between the two groups (p > 0.05). The number of children among participants in the burnout group was higher (p = 0.018).In the burnout group, a positive and statistically significant relationship was found between the total scores of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the Parenting Stress Index (PSI) (r: 0.664; p: 0.000), and a negative and statistically significant relationship with the total score of the Spousal Support Scale (SSS) (r: -0.409; p: 0.000).The indirect effect of the Parenting Stress Index (PSI) on the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) through the Spousal Support Scale (SSS) was found to be statistically significant ( [Formula: see text] = -0.3294, p < 0.001).
conclusionParental stress is associated with the level of burnout in mothers. However, spousal support may weaken the relationship between parental stress and burnout. Further research on the relationship between spousal support and burnout, as well as awareness projects related to spousal support, is needed.
