OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.

Early Identification of Parental Burnout: Using IRT in Developing Screening Tools.
Parental burnout is a recently recognized worldwide phenomenon that results from overwhelming parenting stress. Since parental burnout can have serious consequences to families, and especially to children, early identification and prevention of the phenomenon is crucial. During this presentation, I will introduce a screening tool for parental burnout, that is Brief Parental Burnout scale (BPBs), that we developed for early identification of parental burnout in child healthcare settings. The focus will be both theoretical and methodological, as I will first introduce parental burnout as a phenomenon, and next describe how Item Response Theory Graded Response Model was used to select optimal five items from a gold standard scale to assess parental burnout, Parental Burnout Assessment (PBA), in a sample of 1725 Finnish parents. I will, furthermore, explain how the scale was validated in two separate samples. Finally, practical applicability of the scale in child healthcare centers will be critically discussed.
