Job satisfaction and occupational stress in experienced osteopaths
type: CreativeWork
description: Job satisfaction and occupational stress are important, but under investigated issues among osteopaths. In related professions, such as general medical practice, occupational stress is a key factor reducing job satisfaction, and potentially compromising patient care. This study explored the job satisfaction and sources of occupational stress among osteopaths with at least 5 years clinical practice experience. A concurrent study was conducted to explore the same issues among recent graduates. This minor thesis was written by a post-graduate student as part of the requirements of the Master of Health Science (Osteopathy) program.
