| Sumario: | Purpose: In skilled nursing facilities, burnout of rehabilitation professionals has captured researchers' attention due to high turnover and the effects that it has on the success of the rehabilitation department. This research was conducted to determine the factors of burnout experienced by rehabilitation leaders in skilled nursing facilities (SNFs). Participants: A snowball sample of fifteen participants in North Carolina and Virginia completed a survey designed to identify common stressors in the work environment that contributed to burnout. Methods: A qualitative phenomenological research design consisting of short interviews where participants revealed their opinions, experiences and narratives related to their position was used. Participants' stories were coded in themes that highlighted the rehabilitation leaders and their roles. Results: Fifty-three percent of participants experienced high stress due to the demands of the job. Common themes in the research regarding factors contributing to burnout were multiple job roles and responsibilities, physical and mental exhaustion, and perceived lack of support from upper management. Conclusion: SNFs are characterized as challenging and demanding with multiple roles and responsibilities. Findings suggest that rehabilitation leaders identify discrepancy in work-life balance that ultimately fosters feelings of burnout. |
