Abstract
Burnout affects healthcare professionals and personal well-being, organizations, and patient care. However, data on burnout and stressors among physiotherapists in Singapore remain limited. To examine burnout prevalence, contributing stressors, and intention to leave among physiotherapists in Singapore's publicly funded healthcare institutions. A cross-sectional online survey of fully registered physiotherapists in publicly funded healthcare institutions assessed demographics, burnout stressors, intention to leave, and Maslach Burnout Inventory scores for emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and personal accomplishment (PA). Among 78 respondents, 17.9% met full burnout criteria (high EE and DP; low PA). High EE and DP and low PA were reported by 57.7%, 51.3%, and 44.9%, respectively. Burnout and intent to leave were most common in physiotherapists aged 31 to 40 years. Top stressors were workload, compensation, and working hours. Burnout and intention to leave were prevalent; interventions are needed.
