Introduktion: Obalans i vardagen kan leda till stressrelaterade besvär. Föräldrastress finns hos både mödrar och fäder vilket i sin tur kan leda till sämre mental hälsa. Balans i livet är generellt relaterat till hälsa och välbefinnande. Det finns olika balansbegrepp inom arbetsterapin. Dessa är till exempel aktivitetsbalans, life balance, lifestyle balance och work-life balance.  Syfte: Beskriva balans i vardagens aktiviteter relaterat till hälsa och välbefinnande hos föräldrar som förvärvsarbetar. Metod: Designen för examensarbetet var Scoping Review. Databaserna som användes var CINAHL, ERIC och PubMed. Materialet granskades och skrevs in i en artikelöversikt och totalt inkluderades 21 artiklar i resultatet.  Resultat: Det är viktigt för föräldrar att ha möjlighet att kombinera familjeliv och arbete för att uppleva balans i vardagens aktiviteter. Aktivitetsbalans, meningsfullhet i aktiviteter, aktivitetsvärde och tillfredsställelse med aktiviteter har ett samband med tillfredsställelse i livet hos föräldrar. Slutsats: Flera föräldrar skattade sin aktivitetsbalans lågt vilket tyder på att barn kan påverka föräldrars aktivitetsbalans negativt. Mödrar skattade sin aktivitetsbalans lägre än fäder. De faktorer som var viktigast att ha balans mellan var hemliv, familjeliv, arbete och fritid.
