Implementation of Evidence-Based Practice and Burnout Among Occupational Therapists: The Role of Self-Efficacy

CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE: EBP implementation may serve as an important tool to limit burnout among occupational therapists by fostering their trust in their ability to handle clinical challenges. Further research is needed. Plain-Language Summary: This study explored implementing evidence-based practice (EBP) and its relationships to burnout and work-related self-efficacy among occupational therapists. The study found that self-efficacy mediated the relationships between implementing EBP and burnout. Implementing EBP was associated with higher self-efficacy, which, in turn, was associated with lower burnout among occupational therapists.PMID:38175805 | DOI:10.5014/ajot.2024.050426
