PURPOSE This study investigated the prevalence of burnout in physical therapists in the United States and the relationships between burnout and education, mentorship, and self-efficacy. METHODS This was a cross-sectional survey study. An electronic survey was distributed to practicing physical therapists across the United States over a 6-week period from December 2020 to January 2021. The survey was completed by 2,813 physical therapists from all states. The majority were female (68.72%), White or Caucasian (80.13%), and employed full-time (77.14%). Respondents completed questions on demographics, education, mentorship, self-efficacy, and burnout. The Burnout Clinical Subtypes Questionnaire 12 (BCSQ-12) and self-reports were used to quantify burnout, and the General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) was used to measure self-efficacy. Descriptive and inferential analyses were performed. RESULTS Respondents from home health (median BCSQ-12=42.00) and skilled nursing facility settings (median BCSQ-12=42.00) displayed the highest burnout scores. Burnout was significantly lower among those who provided formal mentorship (median BCSQ-12=39.00, P=0.0001) compared to no mentorship (median BCSQ-12=41.00). Respondents who received formal mentorship (median BCSQ-12=38.00, P=0.0028) displayed significantly lower burnout than those who received no mentorship (median BCSQ-12=41.00). A moderate negative correlation (rho=-0.49) was observed between the GSES and burnout scores. A strong positive correlation was found between self-reported burnout status and burnout scores (rrb=0.61). CONCLUSION Burnout is prevalent in the physical therapy profession, as almost half of respondents (49.34%) reported burnout. Providing or receiving mentorship and higher self-efficacy were associated with lower burnout. Organizations should consider measuring burnout levels, investing in mentorship programs, and implementing strategies to improve self-efficacy.

指导和自我效能与美国物理治疗师较低的职业倦怠有关：一项横断面调查研究。

目的本研究调查了美国物理治疗师职业倦怠的患病率以及职业倦怠与教育、指导和自我效能之间的关系。方法 这是一项横断面调查研究。2020 年 12 月至 2021 年 1 月的 6 周内，向美国各地的执业物理治疗师分发了一份电子调查。该调查由来自各州的 2,813 名物理治疗师完成。其中大多数是女性（68.72%）、白人或白种人（80.13%）以及全职工作人员（77.14%）。受访者完成了有关人口统计、教育、指导、自我效能和倦怠的问题。使用倦怠临床亚型问卷 12 (BCSQ-12) 和自我报告来量化倦怠，并使用一般自我效能量表 (GSES) 来衡量自我效能。进行了描述性和推理性分析。结果 来自家庭健康（中位 BCSQ-12=42.00）和熟练护理机构环境（中位 BCSQ-12=42.00）的受访者显示出最高的倦怠分数。与没有指导的人（中位 BCSQ-12=41.00）相比，提供正式指导的人（中位 BCSQ-12=39.00，P=0.0001）倦怠明显较低。接受正式指导的受访者（中位 BCSQ-12=38.00，P=0.0028）的倦怠程度显着低于未接受指导的受访者（中位 BCSQ-12=41.00）。GSES 和倦怠评分之间观察到中度负相关（rho=-0.49）。自我报告的倦怠状态与倦怠评分之间存在很强的正相关性（rrb=0.61）。结论 职业倦怠在物理治疗行业很普遍，几乎一半的受访者 (49.34%) 表示职业倦怠。提供或接受指导以及较高的自我效能感与较低的倦怠有关。组织应考虑衡量倦怠程度、投资导师计划以及实施提高自我效能的策略。
