The objective of this narrative review is to discuss the potential for burnout in chiropractic practitioners. This discussion is grounded in the job demands-resource model, the conservation of resources model, the unique profession-specific stressors experienced by chiropractors, and information from similar health care professions.
A search using both the indexed (PubMed and PsychLit) and nonindexed psychosocial literature was used. Other resources included the Cochrane Library, articles from governing bodies of the chiropractic profession, trade magazines, and research conferences and symposium proceedings. Articles were analyzed following the grounded theory principles: open coding and memos for conceptual labeling, axial coding and memos for category building, and selective coding for model building.
Potential stressors unique to doctors of chiropractic include factors associated with physical workload, role stress, and mental and emotional demands.
There are unique chiropractic-specific occupational characteristics that possibly contribute to burnout in the chiropractic professionals. These findings emphasize the need for assessing and measuring burnout and attrition within the chiropractic profession.
本叙述性综述的目的是探讨脊椎按摩治疗师职业倦怠的可能性。该讨论基于工作要求-资源模型、资源保存模型、脊椎按摩治疗师所经历的独特职业特定压力源以及来自类似医疗保健行业的信息。
使用索引数据库（PubMed和PsychLit）和非索引心理社会文献进行检索。其他资源包括Cochrane图书馆、脊椎按摩治疗行业管理机构的文章、行业杂志以及研究会议和研讨会论文集。文章按照扎根理论原则进行分析：开放式编码和用于概念标记的备忘录、轴心式编码和用于类别构建的备忘录以及用于模型构建的选择性编码。
脊椎按摩治疗师特有的潜在压力源包括与身体工作量、角色压力以及心理和情感需求相关的因素。
存在一些特定于脊椎按摩治疗的职业特征，可能导致脊椎按摩治疗专业人员出现职业倦怠。这些发现强调了评估和测量脊椎按摩治疗行业中职业倦怠和人员流失情况的必要性。
