Abstract

Purpose: To determine the level of burnout and investigate the relationship between effort-reward imbalance and burnout among early intervention (EI) physical therapists.

Method: Study participants included EI physical therapists from 1 state within the United States. Participants completed an online survey that included demographic questions, the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory, and the Effort-Reward Imbalance Scale. Linear regression examined the relationship between effort-reward imbalance and burnout.

Results: A total of 127 participants were included. Effort, reward, and overcommitment explained 49% (R2 = .490) of the variance in exhaustion (F4,118 = 28.38; P < .001) and 29.7% of the variance in disengagement (F4,118 = 12.48; P < .001) components of burnout.

Conclusion: Physical therapists practicing in EI report high levels of emotional exhaustion, disengagement, and burnout. The results suggest that strategies to manage job demands, rewards, and overcommitment may help EI organizations decrease burnout among EI physical therapists.

在早期干预环境下，努力和奖励预测儿童物理治疗师的职业倦怠。

目的：了解早期干预（EI）物理治疗师的职业倦怠水平，探讨努力-报酬失衡与职业倦怠的关系。方法：研究参与者包括来自美国1个州的EI物理治疗师。参与者完成了一项在线调查，包括人口统计问题、奥尔登堡倦怠量表和努力-回报不平衡量表。线性回归检验了努力-回报失衡与倦怠之间的关系。结果：共纳入受试者127例。努力、奖励和过度投入解释了倦怠成分中49% （R2 = .490）的方差（f4118 = 28.38, P < .001）和29.7% （f4118 = 12.48, P < .001）的方差。结论：从事EI的物理治疗师报告了高水平的情绪衰竭、脱离和倦怠。研究结果表明，管理工作需求、奖励和过度承诺的策略可能有助于EI组织减少EI物理治疗师的职业倦怠。

期刊介绍： Pediatric Physical Therapy is an indexed international journal, that publishes peer reviewed research related to the practice of physical therapy for children with movement disorders. The editorial board is comprised of an international panel of researchers and clinical scholars that oversees a rigorous peer review process. The journal serves as the official journal for the pediatric physical therapy professional organizations in the Netherlands, Switzerland, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States. The journal includes articles that support evidenced based practice of physical therapy for children with neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, cardiorespiratory and developmental conditions that lead to disorders of movement, and research reports that contribute to the foundational sciences of pediatric physical therapy, ranging from biomechanics and pediatric exercise science to neurodevelopmental science. To these ends the journal publishes original research articles, systematic reviews directed to specific clinical questions that further the science of physical therapy, clinical guidelines and case reports that describe unusual conditions or cutting edge interventions with sound rationale. The journal adheres to the ethical standards of theInternational Committee of Medical Journal Editors.
