Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
* 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,

Mindfulness and compassion based intercare program
This 8-week intervention aims to reduce parental burnout by adapting the "Mindfulness-based Inter-care Program" and incorporating elements from MBSR, MBCT, and CBCT. The program includes 8 modules with practical and theoretical activities, weekly tasks, journaling, and daily meditation practices such as body exploration, seated and moving meditation, walking and eating meditation, acceptance, compassion, and gratitude.
The program also promotes values such as time management, attentive parenting, and emotional management while addressing factors of risk for parental burnout such as perfectionism, low emotional intelligence, lack of parenting practices, excessive responsibilities, and lack of support. Participants will receive two weekly reminders via email to perform the practices and review information. Additionally, they will have the option to participate in a virtual group via the WhatsApp platform with other participants.

Formal meditation practices include body exploration, sitting, movement, walking, eating, acceptance, compassion, and gratitude. The program also includes descriptions and motivation for practices related to identifying values that promote parenting, time management, attentive parenting techniques, and emotional management.
Educational material
On a weekly basis, participants will receive reminder emails highlighting specific risk factors associated with parental burnout. These risk factors include parental perfectionism, low emotional intelligence, lack of parenting practices, excessive responsibilities, and lack of support. Each week, the reminder email will cover a different topic, providing participants with relevant information.
Reminder by email
Every week, participants will receive two reminder emails: one with a list of activities to complete during the week and another containing information about parental burnout. This approach aims to support participants in staying engaged with the program.
Whatsapp support group
The participants will have the option to join a WhatsApp group with 25 other members from the specific group to receive daily greetings, group support, and have general doubts resolved.
Journaling
As part of the mindfulness intervention, participants are required to write in a journal every day with the purpose of cultivating awareness of bodily sensations, emotions, thoughts, and impulses. Each week, the journaling topic focuses on a different area, including pleasant experiences, unpleasant experiences, needs and resources, communication difficulties, and sharing resources. In contrast, the control group's journaling activity involves free writing about everyday issues, thoughts, and ideas.
Audio guide relaxation control group
The active control group in this study will be provided with a 20-minute relaxation audio containing Jacobson's progressive relaxation instructions. This intervention aims to control for attention and time while allowing for comparison to the experimental group. Also, journaling was included.
Additionally, the program will include information on risk factors for parental burnout, such as parental perfectionism, low emotional intelligence, lack of parenting practices, excessive responsibilities, and lack of support. Two weekly email reminders will be sent to encourage daily practice and review of the information provided. Participants will also have the option to participate in a virtual support group through the WhatsApp platform with other participants. This active control group intervention aims to improve participant well-being by providing relaxation techniques and support for the challenges of parenting.
