Abstract

Introduction: Doctor of physical therapy (DPT) students who experienced burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic are now entering the workforce. This study compared burnout and grit scores of DPT graduates who completed their education prior to the pandemic (Group A) with those who completed all DPT education during the pandemic (Group B).

Methods: This is a cross-sectional comparison of burnout and grit among two cohorts of graduates of an entry-level DPT program. Burnout was measured using the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS); grit was measured using the 12-Item Grit Scale.

Results: Burnout was significantly higher in Group B, as indicated by MBI-HSS subscales for Emotional Exhaustion, (H(1)=14.130, p<0.001) and Personal Accomplishment (H(1)=6.781, p=0.009). There were no significant differences in grit scores between the two groups (H(1)=3.286, p=0.07).

Conclusion: Pandemic-trained physical therapists in this study were no less gritty than those who graduated prior to the pandemic but were significantly more burned out.

Impact: Pandemic-trained clinicians and their hiring managers/mentors should screen and support employee mental health.

接受过大流行病培训的物理治疗师进入职场后更加疲惫不堪，但也同样坚韧不拔：单点观察研究。

导言：在 COVID-19 大流行期间经历过职业倦怠的物理治疗博士（DPT）学生现已进入职场。本研究比较了在大流行之前完成学业的 DPT 毕业生（A 组）与在大流行期间完成所有 DPT 教育的毕业生（B 组）的职业倦怠和勇气得分：这是一项关于入门级 DPT 课程两批毕业生的职业倦怠和勇气的横向比较。倦怠感采用马斯拉赫倦怠感调查表（Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey，MBI-HSS）进行测量；勇气采用 12 项勇气量表（12-Item Grit Scale）进行测量：结果：根据 MBI-HSS 的情感衰竭分量表，B 组的职业倦怠程度明显更高（H(1)=14.130, p）：本研究中接受过大流行病培训的物理治疗师与那些在大流行病之前毕业的物理治疗师相比并不逊色，但他们的职业倦怠程度明显更高：影响：接受过大流行病培训的临床医生及其招聘经理/导师应筛查并支持员工的心理健康。
