Article Synopsis
- Poor fit between work expectations and the work environment leads to high levels of stress among early career occupational therapists, particularly those with less than 5 years of experience.
- A study involving 261 South African occupational therapists used the Area of Work-Life Survey (AWS) to analyze factors influencing work-life areas like workload, control, and community.
- Results indicated that while most work-life areas scored normal or high, workload was notably low, especially for those in public health settings and physical rehabilitation, suggesting a need for improved support in these environments.
