        "summary": "A study published in the Journal of Reproductive and Infant Psychology, involving 434 first-time parents, finds that couples who feel more united in raising their child report lower levels of parental burnout. The findings highlight the disproportionate caregiving load often borne by mothers and suggest that better communication and clearly shared responsibilities can ease the strain of early parenthood. While not a policy document, the research offers relevant insight into family wellbeing and support structures.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Becoming a parent for the first time brings many\nchanges to a couple\u2019s life. Lack of sleep, growing responsibilities and\nthe constantly changing needs of a baby can leave parents prone to\nphysical and emotional exhaustion.<\/p>\n<p>Research suggests that good cooperation between fathers and mothers\ncan help reduce the risk of parental burnout, or exhaustion in carrying\nout the parental role.<\/p>\n<p>Citing Psychology Today on Tuesday (6\/10) local time, a study by\nJacopo Tracchegiani and Nicola Carone, published in the Journal of\nReproductive and Infant Psychology, involved 434 parents who had their\nfirst child.<\/p>\n<p>The results show that couples who felt more united in raising their\nchild tended to experience lower levels of parental burnout.<\/p>\n<p>Parental burnout is characterised by intense exhaustion, emotional\ndistancing from the child, reduced satisfaction in the parental role,\nand feelings of being unable to be a good parent.<\/p>\n<p>During this period, new parents are still adapting to their changing\nroles while trying to balance work, personal life and childcare.<\/p>\n<p>Partner cooperation can be one of the safeguards against such\npressure. When parents support one another, respect each other\u2019s roles\nand openly discuss their needs in caring for their child, the burden of\nparenting can feel lighter.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers linked these findings to the greater caregiving\nburden that mothers generally carry, including breastfeeding and caring\nfor the baby at night.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, fathers who take on the main caregiving role may\nalso experience higher levels of burnout.<\/p>\n<p>Cooperation in childcare can be strengthened through better\ncommunication and a clearer division of responsibilities.<\/p>\n<p>For couples experiencing severe stress after the birth of a child,\nprofessional support or parent support groups may also help them cope\nwith the burden.<\/p>",
