Description
Susanne Mak and co-authors ask why rehabilitation professionals quit, and what might keep them, in a 2024 qualitative study from Quebec. Occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech-language pathologists are in short supply worldwide. Attrition in these fields strains the whole health system. The team gathered views from both the professionals and the bodies that train, employ, and regulate them.
They interviewed fifty-one clinicians in 2019 and 2020, then ran four focus groups in 2022 with managers, education programs, associations, and regulators. A theory of cultural and historical activity framed the reading of the talks. Strategies that surface from several stakeholder angles at once are likelier to survive contact with real workplaces. The study feeds a retention playbook for a stretched workforce.
