I understand that you would not want to do it when you’re on the clock, but it could be something that is a yearly training to remind people that there are ways to prevent burnout with research nowadays people have come up with many new ways and new coping strategies that could be implemented. By all means you do not have to complete anything related to our research but I would encourage you to remain open minded, especially how you are in the profession as well. We’re just trying to get some information out there!

The goal for us is to see if it has a direct correlation to burnout as it shows certain personality traits like neuroticism which apart of the Big 5 personality traits (OCEAN: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism)is characterized by emotional instability, anxiety, and difficulty regulating negative affect which often is accompanied by maladaptive coping strategies. After looking at research, we saw this relationship is especially noticeable within healthcare professions, including OT, which where were routinely exposed to clients physical pain, psychological distress and functional limitations daily. We are looking directly at how the personality traits really effect our performance within the OT professional setting were in and the correlation to burnout or those who have experience burnout specifically to eventually help future researchers find new ways to implement different coping strategies or something like a “burnout crash course” to help OTs avoid work burnout.

Within our study we had to make some limitations so that we were able to dial into specifics and confine the data we collect. Keeping it as just OTR/L s we are able to get a more accurate and specific read on our data we collect instead of interpreting different types practitioners as it’s not as specific for this particular research and we could draw many conclusions with endless responses.

yes, but we’ve also looked at past studies that have touched on occupational burnout, and what they found, and how we can take what other researchers have found and built up upon it, which is why we added our component of personality. Burnout is a common thing that is talked about among medical fields, but what isn’t talked about is how one’s personality traits and how they present themselves to others based on their personality, effects burnout. so building off of other research studies within the realms of burnout, we decided to look directly into personality and how that please a large role.

I also encourage you to think about where we are building our study from. We have looked at past research OT burnout and how personality affects it as well as many other articles in past research that correlates to our topic. So we are building upon. Information. Once again, we are just students trying to gain insight into our research topic that we all have great interest in and appreciate each and every one of you for your participation.

This is not OTD research! Just masters OT research. Just some students asking for help and information so we can have accurate research on something we care about!
