“…Extensive evidence demonstrates intricate connections between burnout and mental health issues among medical students. Additional studies reveal substantially higher risks of depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, concentration deficits, and physical symptoms relative to peers [12,[17][18][19][20].

BACKGROUND Medical students face high levels of burnout and mental health issues during training. Understanding associated factors can inform supportive interventions. OBJECTIVE Examine burnout, psychological well-being, and related demographics among Iranian medical students. METHODS Cross-sectional survey of 131 medical students at an Iranian university. Instruments included the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) plus a psychological symptom checklist (SCL-90). Descriptive, multivariate regression and tests for group differences analyzed data. RESULTS Mean MBI-SS subscale scores showed moderate emotional exhaustion (15.00±7.08) and academic efficacy (14.98±6.29) but lower cynicism (10.85±5.89). The most commonly reported mental health issues were depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Worse psychological wellbeing associated with higher overall burnout, but no gender differences found. Upper academic level linked to changes in all MBI domains. CONCLUSIONS Despite health education, sampled students reported considerable burnout and mental health distress which associated strongly. This risks student persistence and post-graduation practice plans. Supporting wellbeing in training is critical for positive student and physician outcomes.
