Abstract

This thesis aims to investigate occupational burnout levels and coping strategies among occupational therapy practitioners in various settings, both within and outside the United States. The study employed a self-made survey based on occupational burnout literature to assess practitioners' experiences and coping mechanisms, focusing on their unique challenges. Our study answered three research questions: 1) What are the levels of burnout among occupational therapy practitioners across different practice settings and different geographical locations? 2) How do the coping strategies utilized by occupational therapy practitioners to manage burnout differ among different practice settings? and 3) What coping strategies do occupational therapy practitioners utilize to manage burnout? We used a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection was used, to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the research topic. The research guides practitioners to enhance their coping skills and self-efficacy and sheds light on the challenges faced by occupational therapy practitioners globally.
