Functional balance and prevention of burnout
Functional balance in everyday life helps prevent work-related stress. In cases of stress-related conditions, functional imbalance in daily activities is often observed. It is therefore important to examine what an employee’s daily life consists of in terms of activities and tasks. Occupational therapy students assess the current situation using appropriate methods and identify solutions that support well-being in both work and leisure.
