Study Data from East Tennessee State University Update Understanding of Anxiety Disorders (An Intentional Wholeness Focus and the Association With Burnout in Graduate Students).

A study conducted at East Tennessee State University examined the association between burnout and anxiety disorders in graduate students in occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech language pathology programs. The study found that higher perceptions of positive wholeness and learning climates, grit, and personal spirituality were associated with lower burnout. However, spirituality had a more complicated relationship with burnout, with both risk and supportive factors. The results of this study may help guide future research and promote supportive university environments for graduate students. [Extracted from the article]
