As in many fields of work, burnout syndrome may also occur in the coaching profession. The aim of this study is to examine the burnout levels of coaches working with physically disabled swimmers in terms of various variables. In the research, single screening method, which is one of the general screening methods, was adopted. While the population of the research consists of the coaches working with physically disabled swimmers in Turkey, its sample consists of 68 trainers who were chosen by the random sampling method among 80 swimming coaches working with the disabled athletes participating in the Physically Disabled Turkey Swimming Championship and National Team auditions held on 23 to 25 January, 2019. Whereas the "Personal Information Form" developed by the researchers was used to determine the demographic characteristics of the Swimming Coaches, the "Professional Burnout" scale developed by Maslach and Jackson (1981) and adapted into Turkish by Ergin (1992) was used to be able to determine their occupational burnout levels. According to the findings obtained, no significant difference was found between the personal accomplishment feelings regarding professional burnout levels, emotional burnout and depersonalization sub scales of coaches working with physically disabled swimmers and the variables of age, coaching level, working year, gender, marital status and whether there is a disabled person in their families or not (P > 0.05). It was concluded that, the professional burnout levels of coaches who work with the physically disabled swimmers in Turkey is high on the feeling of personal accomplishment subscale and moderate on the emotional burnout and depersonalization subscales. Besides, no significant difference was observed between the occupational burnout levels of coaches working with physically disabled swimmers and all their other variables.
