A new scale, Parental Burnout Measure - 12 (PBM-12), for measuring burnout of parents of children with disabilities is validated in the study with 246 participants. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) reveals the best fit model that comprises two correlated factors - exhaustion and helplessness. Also, in theoretical validity test, all burnout parameters negatively correlate with all parameters of the sense of coherence and resilience while positively with 3 coping parameters – Focus on and emotion venting, Behavioral disengagement, and Substance use, plus negatively – with Positive Reinterpretation and Growth Coping. The results attest the validity of PBM-12 measure in the context of theories of stress and burnout and suggest that PBM-12 can be a useful tool for screening of parental burnout.
