Description
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between coping strategies, resilience, and mental health in graduate allied health professions students to prevent burnout.
Method: The REDCap electronic survey platform was used to collect data from the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) General Survey for Students, and Coping Orientation to Problems Experienced (Brief-COPE). A convenience sample of graduate students (n=40) in healthcare professions was recruited to participate at a select university in Florida. Demographic data included the students' age, gender, allied health program, and year in program. Quantitative analysis for descriptive statistics and comparison of intrapersonal and interpersonal variables were conducted.
Results: The findings of this study were inconclusive due to the inconsistent relationships between the measures. No significant relationship was noted between coping strategies, levels of resilience, burnout, and mental health impairments for allied health professions graduate students. .
Conclusion: It is recommended that further research be conducted to explore how resilience and mental health mitigate burnout as well as how specific coping strategies influence burnout.
