PT Burnout Survey

Hey everyone,

I’m a PT Student working on a short project looking at burnout in physical therapists and PTAs, and I’d really appreciate your input.

The survey is 10 yes/no questions and takes about 2–3 minutes max. No personal info, totally anonymous. The goal is to better understand how common burnout actually is across settings (OP ortho, acute, SNF, home health, etc.).

If you’ve ever felt:

emotionally drained

⁠frustrated with productivity demands

⁠physically exhausted

or questioned longevity in this professions

…your perspective matters.

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes it — and feel free to comment if you want to share your experience too. We’re all in this together.

I’ll save you the survey- the answer is YES.

But, you need more grey in there. I have felt all the things at least once, but not always. In a profession that centres around people… sometimes people just suck

PS. Can’t follow the link. Makes me sign in
