Abstract
Graduate students can be susceptible to exhaustion and burnout. The primary aim of this study was to determine the proportion of time occupational therapy doctoral (OTD) students spend engaged in work, daily living tasks, recreation, and rest. The Occupational Questionnaire was distributed to OTD students. OTD students spent most of their time (38–44%) engaged in work. The percentage of time spent engaged in work by OTD students is approximately double the time they spent in the areas of rest, daily living tasks, or recreation. This study was cross-sectional, data must be interpreted cautiously.
