Abstract

Background: Burnout affects healthcare professionals and personal well-being, organisations, and patient care. However, data on burnout and stressors among physiotherapists in Singapore remain limited.

Objectives: To examine burnout prevalence, contributing stressors, and intention to leave among physiotherapists in Singapore's publicly funded healthcare institutions (PFHI).

Methods: A cross-sectional online survey of fully registered physiotherapists in PFHI assessed demographics, burnout stressors, intention to leave, and Maslach Burnout Inventory scores for emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalisation (DP), and personal accomplishment (PA).

Results: Among 78 respondents, 17.9% met full burnout criteria (high EE, DP; low PA). High EE, DP, and low PA were reported by 57.7%, 51.3%, and 44.9%, respectively. Burnout and intent to leave were most common in physiotherapists aged 31-40. Top stressors: workload, compensation, working hours.

Conclusions: Burnout and intention to leave were prevalent; interventions are needed.

在新加坡公立医疗保健机构的物理治疗师中，倦怠患病率，离职意向和贡献压力因素的横断面调查。

背景：职业倦怠影响医疗保健专业人员和个人福祉，组织和病人护理。然而，新加坡物理治疗师中关于倦怠和压力源的数据仍然有限。目的：研究新加坡公立医疗机构（PFHI）物理治疗师的职业倦怠患病率、造成压力的因素和离职意向。方法：对PFHI的正式注册物理治疗师进行横断面在线调查，评估人口统计学、倦怠压力源、离职意向和情绪耗竭（EE）、人格解体（DP）和个人成就（PA）的Maslach倦怠量表得分。结果：78名被调查者中，17.9%的人达到了完全倦怠标准(高情感表达、DP；低PA)。高EE、DP和低PA分别为57.7%、51.3%和44.9%。倦怠和离职意向在31-40岁的物理治疗师中最为常见。最大的压力源：工作量、薪酬、工作时间。结论：职业倦怠和离职意向普遍存在；干预措施是必要的。
