description Parental burnout (PB) has adverse effects on parents and children. The aim of the present study was to develop a multilingual version of the Brief Parental Burnout Scale (BPBS) adapted to the Swiss context in order to (1) provide practitioners working with families in different language regions of Switzerland with a screening tool, and (2) to estimate initial prevalence rates for risk of PB. Overall, results indicate, that the Trilingual Swiss BPBS (3-L-BPBS) is a promising screening tool, allowing for early detection of parents at risk and therefore for the prevention of negative consequences of PB. Further, results suggests that a substantial proportion of Swiss parents is at moderate to high risk for PB, with prevalence rates varying between language regions. However, additional research is needed to further validate the 3-L-BPBS and to deepen our understanding of the impact of structural and cultural differences on PB.
