The aim of this study is to determine the burnout levels and daytime sleepiness of the physiotherapists who are actively working in the field. In this study, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), which was developed by Maslach, translated into Turkish by Ergin and studied in terms of validity and reliability, was used. In addition, the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), regarded as a valid and reliable test of high internal consistency, was used for eight different conditions that could be used in sleep and sleep disorders in Turkey. The effects of income, marital status, place of residence, age, social security, gender, and smoking on the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization, the subscales of Maslach Burnout Inventory, were not observed in the physiotherapists. Meanwhile, no relation was observed in the physiotherapists between the sleepiness status assessed by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and age, social security, marital status, income level, and smoking. The rate of sleepiness in women, on the other hand, was found to be increased. It was observed that the difference in terms of the place of residence was due to the differences between the city and the district.
