There are 23 items in the scale, which are divided into four dimensions: the sense of exhaustion of the parental role, the boredom of the parental role, the emotional alienation from the children, and the self-comparison with the previous parental role. Scores range from 23-161. Higher scores indicate higher levels of parental burnout.
