Professional identity appears to be protective against burnout. In a study of occupational therapists, Edwards and Dirette (2010) found that practitioners who had a strong professional identity exhibited lower levels of burnout than those who were not confident in their ability to define the role of occupational therapy at their worksite. Luken and Sammons (2016) advocate that occupational therapy practitioners be aware of their own risk factors and susceptibility to burnout and use objective measures to assess their own levels of burnout. Interventions are different for each of the three components of burnout, and therefore interventions need to be tailored to the specific component of burnout being addressed. This is an opportunity for "occupational therapy practitioners to heed their own advice to monitor and maintain occupational balance and well-being" (Luken & Sammons, 2016, p. 7).
