Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Psychology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Burnout is a syndrome characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment.
  • It commonly affects human service professionals due to stress and work-related failures.
  • This study investigates burnout in physiotherapists, examining contributing demographic and environmental factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the prevalence of burnout among physiotherapists.
  • To identify demographic factors associated with burnout in this profession.
  • To explore workplace conditions that may contribute to burnout.

Main Methods:

  • A total of 212 physiotherapists (137 women, 75 men) completed an anonymous burnout questionnaire.
  • Respondent ages ranged from 20 to 56 years, with work experience spanning from months to over 30 years.

Main Results:

  • The average burnout score was 115.66 (SD 21.78), falling within the lower to average range.
  • Women reported higher burnout levels than men.
  • Suboptimal working conditions (equipment, room size, technology) correlated with increased burnout.

Conclusions:

  • Burnout in physiotherapists appears to be lower compared to other healthcare professionals when assessed with the same tool.
  • Further research should explore job type, quality, and referral patterns in relation to burnout.
