“…Among EBP's limitations is insufficient evidence for representativeness in human research as it only focusses on a small part of the population designed to fulfil researchers' interests at hand (Joyce, 2019). Most importantly, EBP is based on empirical studies/methodologies that mainly focus on patient outcomes with limited studies considering healthcare professionals' health and relationship with patient care not to mention professional burnout and mental health (Rodríguez‐Nogueira et al, 2021). Additionally, nurses' implementation of EBP in daily practice has been suboptimal (AbuRuz et al, 2017).…”

Nursing Philosophy

Philosophy adds humanness to nursing and facilitates holistic care. Philosophies like Ubuntu which purports that a person is only a person through other people and emphasises community cohesion and caring for each other can add humanness to nursing. Because Ubuntu validates subjective experience and its meaning in the lifeworld, it exemplifies the basis of holistic and individualised caring in nursing. Although nurses can make their own philosophy through critical reflexivity, the convergent point is the goal of meaningful caring that is, sustaining health and the well‐being of patients and significant others. Philosophy transcends job description, it encompasses visceral experience, personal beliefs and goals, resulting in purpose and deeper meaning to the nursing profession of caring as emulated by Florence Nightingale. While contemporary philosophy has been met with criticism as being detached from human concern, narrowly focussed and technical, it evokes critical thinking and promotes sociality in nursing practice. The Covid‐19 pandemic vividly brought philosophy to the fore as nurses sacrificially and vulnerably rose to the challenge of caring not only for the sick, but also for families who through infection control measures were deprived of sociality. This paper argues that philosophy adds humanness and substance to nursing in the context of COVID‐19.

“…Given the prevalence of burnout amongst GP's (BMA, 2022), intent to leave (Linzer et al., 2009), the ever‐growing demand seen within primary care (BMA, 2021) and the need for long term sustainability of the FCP role in line with the NHS long term plan (NHS, 2019) and GP contract (BMA, 2019), this study aims to be the first study of its kind to assess the prevalence of burnout amongst the current UK FCP workforce. Previous evidence has shown a large variance of burnout amongst physiotherapists internationally (Anderson, 2014; Rodriquez‐Noguerira et al., 2021) but no study to this date has explored the current rate of burnout amongst FCP's within the UK.…”

Background: It has long been known general practitioners suffer with burnout. First contact physiotherapists (FCP's) are a new role to primary care. However, concerns have been raised around the longevity and sustainability of the role and the risk of clinician burnout. Aims:To assess the prevalence of burnout amongst the FCP workforce.Method: A self-reporting online questionnaire was developed and captured key demographical data and burnout scores amongst FCP's between February 2022 and March 2022. The burnout assessment tool (BAT12) was used to assess clinician burnout.Results: A total of 332 responses were collected. Overall, 13% of clinicians were burnt out, and 16% at risk. The BAT12 also found 43% of the clinicians are exhausted and a further 35% are at risk of exhaustion. Non-clinical hours were significantly associated with burnout score. Clinicians who had more non-clinical time per month were the least burnt out. Increased non-clinical hours was significant in reducing burnout score.Conclusions: This study found 13% of clinicians are suffering from burnout with a further 16% at risk. Worryingly 78% of clinicians are either exhausted or at risk of exhaustion. Non-clinical hours have a direct impact on burnout and every effort is needed by employers to increase non-clinical time. This study supports the release by the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy whereby they recommend sufficient time be allocated within job plans for appropriate supervision, training and continued professional development. Further research is needed to explore the association of non-clinical time and clinician burnout.

This systematic literature review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the prevalence and severity of burnout among musculoskeletal allied health clinicians according to the three dimensions of burnout – emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, and personal accomplishment. Search terms were used to identify original research articles investigating burnout among musculoskeletal allied health professionals (chiropractors, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and podiatrists) using three electronic databases. To ensure consistency across data analysis and interpretation, only studies which employed the gold standard Maslach Burnout Inventory to measure burnout risk were included. Meta-analyses were conducted to calculate the pooled prevalence of high burnout for each of the three domains of the Maslach Burnout Inventory (emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation, personal accomplishment). Subgroup analyses by health profession and continent were also conducted. The search identified 54 eligible studies for inclusion. The pooled prevalence of high burnout risk for each of the three domains of the Maslach Burnout Inventory were as follows: high emotional exhaustion, 0.40 (95% confidence interval: 0.29–0.51); high depersonalisation, 0.26 (95% confidence interval: 0.07–0.53); and low personal accomplishment, 0.25 (95% confidence interval: 0.05–0.53). Pooled mean total scores indicated moderate levels of burnout risk across all three domains. Subgroup analyses showed physical therapists had the greatest overall burnout risk, and chiropractors the lowest. Geographical differences were also observed. Musculoskeletal allied health professionals frequently experience increased burnout risk related to emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation. Differences in burnout risk prevalence and severity were also evident among professions and geographical locations, indicating that techniques for resolving burnout should be adapted to specific professions and cultural contexts.
