Abstract
Many occupational therapy practitioners (OTPs) are facing and are at risk for burnout, which can significantly impact their physical and mental health (Shin et al., 2022). Pediatric OTPs, in particular, experience high levels of stress within the workplace and there is limited research regarding how the Kawa Model can address their burnout and increase resilience (Goffredo et al., 2024). Our research addresses the question: How does a needs assessment survey, based on the Kawa Model, assist future researchers in establishing an effective Kawa Model intervention to improve resilience in pediatric OTPs to burnout? We conducted our research via Google forms and utilized convenience sampling through LinkedIn and Instagram, resulting in a total of 9 pediatric OTP participants, all of whom have been working in this field for over a year. The findings of our survey indicate that a needs assessment survey based on the Kawa Model can be of assistance, as it can highlight characteristics that impact well-being, such as challenges, useful strategies, and beneficial traits. Understanding these characteristics can help pediatric OTPs better navigate their environments, leading to reduced burnout and increased resilience.
