Burnout results in a decrease in job performance because of excessive work-related stress. This study assessed the presence of burnout among physical therapists and determined if potential organizational and personal causes of burnout could predict symptoms of burnout. One hundred and sixty therapists surveyed nationwide met the established criteria for inclusion in the study; 84 (53%) stated that they were currently experiencing feelings of burnout. Subjects were asked to respond to the frequency of their symptoms of burnout and the relevancy of the list of potential causes. A standard multiple regression equation was completed on each of the five dependent variables (symptoms) predicted by the eight potential causes of burnout, four of which were organizational in nature and four of which were personal in nature. Four out of the five symptoms of burnout were significantly predicted by different potential causes. Burnout experienced by physical therapists can have a detrimental effect on patients, therapists, and the facilities in which they are employed.
职业倦怠会因与工作相关的压力过大而导致工作表现下降。本研究评估了物理治疗师中职业倦怠的存在情况，并确定职业倦怠潜在的组织和个人原因是否可以预测职业倦怠症状。在全国范围内接受调查的160名治疗师符合纳入该研究的既定标准；84名（53%）表示他们目前正经历职业倦怠感。受试者被要求对其职业倦怠症状的频率以及潜在原因清单的相关性做出回应。针对由职业倦怠的八个潜在原因预测的五个因变量（症状）中的每一个，完成了一个标准多元回归方程，其中四个是组织性质的，四个是个人性质的。职业倦怠的五个症状中有四个被不同的潜在原因显著预测。物理治疗师经历的职业倦怠会对患者、治疗师以及他们工作的机构产生不利影响。
