Physiotherapists' hidden struggle: fatigue and quiet quitting
NCT ID NCT07340866
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how physical and emotional tiredness (compassion fatigue) may lead physiotherapists in Türkiye to mentally 'quiet quit'—doing the minimum without leaving their job. Researchers will survey 80 physiotherapists using questionnaires. The goal is to understand these links and suggest ways to improve well-being at work.
