About this study
Official title: Comparison of Physiotherapists Working in Different Fields in Terms of Occupational Satisfaction, Burnout, Musculoskeletal System Problems and the Strategies They Developed to Cope With it.
The aim of this study is to investigate whether there is a difference in areas such as occupational musculoskeletal injuries and strategies developed by physiotherapists working in different fields, burnout and occupational satisfaction.
Read the detailed description
This study is a descriptive, cross-sectional online survey study. In this study, it is aimed to reach people who have graduated from the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Departments of the Faculties of Health Sciences or the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Schools of universities in Turkey, which provide education for 4 years and have the title of "physiotherapist". Physiotherapists will be divided into 5 groups according to the fields they work. Group 1 is only pediatric patients, Group 2 is orthopedics and sportsman, Group 3 is neurology and intensive care, Group 4 is general group that receives patients in many fields, and Group 5 is physiotherapists working in the field of public health. planned to occur. Before starting the study, the participants will be asked to fill in the Volunteer and Consent Form that they voluntarily participated in, and then they will be asked to fill out the Personal Information Form, the Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal System Questionnaire, the Pain Coping Inventory, the Maslach Burnout Scale, and the Vocational Satisfaction Scale prepared by us. According to the results obtained, 5 different groups will be compared among themselves by the determined parameters. The surveys to be used will be uploaded to the Google Forms database. Then, the participants will be asked to participate in the study by being reached via online media such as e-mail, mobile phone applications , social media.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Extended Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire
It is a scale used to determine the extent of pain in the musculoskeletal system. The purpose of this questionnaire is to identify and compare pain and complaints in parts of the body. There is an image showing the 9 parts of the body included in the questionnaire. These body parts; neck, shoulders, back, elbows, hands, waist, hips, knees and feet. The respondents are asked whether they have experienced problems such as pain and discomfort in their body parts in the last 12 months, in the last 4 weeks, and on the day of the assessment, and they are asked to mark this as yes or no.
Measured: 2 days
Maslach Burnout Scale
The scale consists of 22 questions in total. A 5-point Likert scale is used to answer the questions. There are options such as 0- Never, 1- Rarely, 2- Sometimes, 3- Often, 4- Always. Volunteers are asked to tick the appropriate option for each question. The scale has 3 sub-categories. There are 9 items for the emotional exhaustion section, 5 items for the depersonalization section, and 8 items for the personal achievement section. People with high burnout levels are expected to have high scores on the emotional exhaustion section and depersonalization section, and low personal achievement scores. The scores that can be obtained from the subscales range from 0-36 for emotional exhaustion, 0-20 for depersonalization, and 0-32 for personal achievement.
Measured: 2 days
Vocational Satisfaction Scale
There are 20 questions in the scale. A five-point Likert-type rating scale was used for these questions. These ratings are 1. Always, 2. Often, 3. Sometimes, 4. Rarely, 5. Never. Items 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20 in the questions "5: Always, 4: Often, 3: Occasionally, 2: Rarely, 1: Never", while the items 4, 9, 10, 11, 14, 19, which make up the Negative items, are reversed; It should be scored as 1: Always, 2: Often, 3: Sometimes, 4: Rarely, 5: Never.
Measured: 2 days
Pain Coping Inventory
It is a scale developed to determine the behavioral and cognitive strategies used by people with chronic pain to cope with this situation. In the original form of the scale, active as pain transformation, distancing and demand reduction; There are six passive sub-dimensions: withdrawal, worry, and rest. There are 22 questions in the scale and evaluation is made according to the 4-point Likert type. The lowest score is between 1 (almost never) and the highest score 4 (very often).
Measured: 2 days
