Abstract

A Psychiatric Rehabilitation Practitioner (PRP) is a less-often studied rehabilitation counselor who works specifically with mental health patients. An on-line survey was filled out by 1,635 PRPs who provided background, burnout and job satisfaction data. Full data was available for 819 PRPs. Background data collected included: gender, race, age, highest education level, length of service, and salary. The study hypothesis that burnout would be negatively related to job satisfaction beyond the controlled-for background variables was supported. Although only a limited amount of job satisfaction variance was explained, the study results support continued study of burnout and job satisfaction for PRPs and other mental health professionals.
