Abstract
Purpose - This research aimed to describe the level of parental burnout of parents in children during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Result - 15% of parents experienced a high level of parental burnout, 64% of parents experienced a moderate level of parental burnout and 21% of parents experienced a low level of parental burnout in the care of children under 18 years old during the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of another survey of the need for assistance were that 96% of parents answered that it was necessary to provide a self-healing guidebook related to mental health issues (self-therapy). Implications – This research has an impact on developing a first aid handbook to assist parents in identifying and dealing with parental burnout independently through self-healing therapy.
