description The experience of parenthood significantly affects various aspects of psychosocial functioning of mothers and fathers. Its quality and the related feeling of satisfaction from being a parent are determined by multiple and diverse determinants. Problems, challenges and relations tend to be gender-specific to some extent, which is due to biological and socio-behavioural factors. The objective of this study was to investigate correlations in two areas: 1) correlations between demographics such as the mother's age and the number of children as well as the child’s/children's health and the household members’ support, and the level of parental burnout; 2) potential correlations between the mother's emotions (Emotional Attitude to the Body and Control of Emotions) and the level of parental burnout. Seventy eight women (N=78), aged 22-59, participated in the study. The study was conducted as an online survey consisting of the demographics developed by the authors for this study, two subscales from the Body Self Questionnaire and the Parental Burnout Assessment (the Polish version of PBA). The results show that parental burnout correlates positively with a negative attitude toward one's own body and a low ability to control emotions. Demographic and practical aspects related to childcare are not significantly related to burnout in women.
