“…However, cumulative exposure to paediatric medical trauma places health professionals at risk of developing more symptoms of STS and burnout while having less resilience and compassion satisfaction than general population samples. These findings are consistent with previous studies reporting the impact of trauma exposure on various health‐care professionals . Acknowledging the impact of paediatric medical trauma on health professionals' mental health is an important step towards maintaining a healthy workforce.…”

“…Research has shown evidence of high levels of stress in health professionals working in different healthcare settings and the consequent negative effects, not only in the physical and psychological health of these professionals, but also in the quality of care they provide and in the overall quality of healthcare institutions [1][2][3][4][5][6].…”

Occupational stress and coping resources in physiotherapists: a survey of physiotherapists in three general hospitals

2010

Objectives To identify occupational stressors and coping resources in a group of physiotherapists, and to analyse interactions between subjective levels of stress, efficacy in stress resolution and coping resources used by these professionals. Design A sample of 55 physiotherapists working in three general hospitals in Portugal completed the Coping Resources Inventory for Stress, the Occupational Stressors Inventory and two subjective scales for stress and stress resolution. Main results Most physiotherapists perceived that they were moderately stressed (19/55, 35%) or stressed (20/55, 36%) due to work, and reported that their efficacy in stress resolution was moderate (25/54, 46%) or efficient (23/54, 42%). Issues related to lack of professional autonomy, lack of organisation in the hierarchical command chain, lack of professional and social recognition, disorganisation in task distribution and interpersonal conflicts with superiors were identified as the main sources of stress. The most frequently used coping resources were social support, stress monitoring, physical health and structuring. Perceived efficacy in stress resolution was inversely related to perceived level of occupational stress (r = −0.61, P < 0.01). Significant correlations were found between several coping resources and the perceived level of stress and efficacy in stress resolution. Associations between problem solving, cognitive restructuring and stress monitoring and both low levels of perceived stress and high levels of perceived efficacy were particularly strong. Implications for practice The importance of identifying stressors and coping resources related to physiotherapists' occupational stress, and the need for the development of specific training programmes to cope with stress are supported.

“…Rural physiotherapy literature identifies workforce challenges including: shortages and maldistribution, workload stress, , tensions between specialists and generalists career options , and a lack of positions . Also described in the literature are areas of work of rural physiotherapists, , access, prioritisation , and developing service models .…”

Influencing factors described by participants both align and extend our understanding of issues described in the rural physiotherapy literature. Participant insights add depth and meaning to quantitative data by revealing impacts on local service provision. Available funding and facility priorities were key determinants of public sector physiotherapy service provision, with market size and business model appearing more influential in private practice. The level of self direction or choice about which services to provide, emerged as a point of difference between public and private providers. Decisions by public sector physiotherapists about service provision appear constrained by existing capacity and workload. Further research into service level decision making might provide valuable insights into rural health service delivery.
