Intercare, Mindfulness and Compassion Based Intervention for Parental Burnout

Diseño, Implementación Y Evaluación De Un Programa De Intervención Basado En Prácticas De Mindfulness Para El Abordaje Del "burnout Parental" En Mamás Que Realizan Teletrabajo

The goal of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of an adapted mindfulness and compassion-based intervention (IBAP) in reducing parental burnout in Chilean mothers who telework while living with children under 18 years old. The main questions it aims to answer are:

• Can the intervention reduce symptoms of parental burnout in the short term (3 months) and medium-term (6 and 9 months) compared to the control group?
• Can the intervention improve work engagement in the intervention group compared to the control group?

Participants will be randomly assigned to either the intervention group or the active control group. The intervention group will receive the IBAP program while the active control group will receive a relaxation audio guide. Both group will receive parental burnout educational material, invitation to a Whatsapp group and a weekly email reminders. Parental Burnout (PBA) will be measured at baseline, 3, 6, and 9 months, and work engagement will be measured at the same time points.

Researchers will compare the intervention group to the active control group to see if the IBM program is more effective in reducing parental burnout and improving work engagement,
