AB  - PURPOSE: This study investigated the prevalence of burnout in physical therapists 
      in the United States and the relationships between burnout and education, 
      mentorship, and self-efficacy. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional survey study. 
      An electronic survey was distributed to practicing physical therapists across the 
      United States over a 6-week period from December 2020 to January 2021. The survey 
      was completed by 2,813 physical therapists from all states. The majority were 
      female (68.72%), White or Caucasian (80.13%), and employed full-time (77.14%). 
      Respondents completed questions on demographics, education, mentorship, 
      self-efficacy, and burnout. The Burnout Clinical Subtypes Questionnaire 12 
      (BCSQ-12) and self-reports were used to quantify burnout, and the General 
      Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES) was used to measure self-efficacy. Descriptive and 
      inferential analyses were performed. RESULTS: Respondents from home health 
      (median BCSQ-12=42.00) and skilled nursing facility settings (median 
      BCSQ-12=42.00) displayed the highest burnout scores. Burnout was significantly 
      lower among those who provided formal mentorship (median BCSQ-12=39.00, P=0.0001) 
      compared to no mentorship (median BCSQ-12=41.00). Respondents who received formal 
      mentorship (median BCSQ-12=38.00, P=0.0028) displayed significantly lower burnout 
      than those who received no mentorship (median BCSQ-12=41.00). A moderate negative 
      correlation (rho=-0.49) was observed between the GSES and burnout scores. A 
      strong positive correlation was found between self-reported burnout status and 
      burnout scores (rrb=0.61). CONCLUSION: Burnout is prevalent in the physical 
      therapy profession, as almost half of respondents (49.34%) reported burnout. 
      Providing or receiving mentorship and higher self-efficacy were associated with 
      lower burnout. Organizations should consider measuring burnout levels, investing 
      in mentorship programs, and implementing strategies to improve self-efficacy.
