The present study examines the mediating role of parental burnout in the relationship between students’ behavior problems and academic outcomes and whether this mediating process is moderated by parents’ self-compassion (PSC). This study was designed according to a cross-sectional study model, and includes 821 Vietnamese primary students (Mage = 9.98, SD = 0.889) completing behavior problems questionnaires. The parents completed parental burnout and the PSC questionnaires. The school office reported academic outcomes. Main findings include: (1) Student's behavior problems have a direct negative influence on academic outcomes; (2) the mediating role of parental burnout was significant; (3) the moderating role of PSC was also significant. This study suggests that students’ behavior problems increase parental burnout, reducing academic outcomes. Next, higher self-compassion protected parents from the negative effect of children's behavior problems. The results of this study are meaningful for developing interventions, which help improve parents’ mental health and children's positive outcomes.

行为问题降低了小学生的学业成绩：父母倦怠和父母自我同情的调节中介

本研究探讨了父母倦怠在学生行为问题与学业成绩之间的关系中的中介作用，以及该中介过程是否受到父母自我同情 (PSC) 的调节。本研究根据横断面研究模型设计，包括 821 名越南小学生（M年龄 = 9.98，SD = 0.889) 完成行为问题问卷。父母完成了父母倦怠和 PSC 问卷调查。学校办公室报告了学术成果。主要发现包括：（1）学生的行为问题对学业成绩有直接的负面影响；(2)父母倦怠的中介作用显着；(3)PSC的调节作用也很显着。这项研究表明，学生的行为问题会增加父母的倦怠感，从而降低学业成绩。其次，更高的自我同情心保护父母免受孩子行为问题的负面影响。这项研究的结果对于制定干预措施具有重要意义，这有助于改善父母的心理健康和儿童的积极成果。
