Abstract
AbstractBackgroundResearchers have made great efforts to help parents of children with intellectual disabilities overcome the stress and burden. Learning to be resilient is one effective strategy.AimThis study explores resilience among parents of children with intellectual disabilities and how career burnout and self‐regulation relate to parents' resilience in mainland China.MethodsThe Burnout Scale, the Self‐Regulation Scale and the Resilience Scale were administered to 324 parents of children with intellectual disabilities.ResultsResults showed that career burnout significantly negatively influenced resilience (β = −0.269, p = 0.000), while self‐regulation significantly positively influenced resilience (β = 0.754, p = 0.000). In addition, self‐regulation moderated the relationships between career burnout and resilience (β = 0.176, p = 0.003).ConclusionThe findings offer valuable insights for enhancing the resilience of parents of children with intellectual disabilities.
