“…The purpose of this study was to compare psychological constructs that could influence the athletic performance of student-athletes competing in a national tournament in Mexico. The results support the existing research in influential variables and those related to burnout (Chen, 2013;Chen & Kee, 2008;De Francisco, Arce, Vílchez & Vales, 2016;Dubuc-Charbonneau & Durand-Bush, 2015;Frank, Nixdorf & Beckmann, 2017;Gabana, Steinfeldt, Wong & Chung, 2017;Grobbelaar, Malan, Steyn & Ellis, 2011).…”

Student-athletes have dual-role demands because in addition to being competitive level athletes, they have academic responsibilities to fulfill. This situation could generate psychological distress that may affect their quality of life. The purpose of the study was to compare psychological constructs in college athletes participating in the Mexican University National Games. The sample comprised 402 athletes (Males = 210, Females = 192) who completed measures of burnout, sports climate, self-esteem, depression, competitive anxiety, and body image. Athletes showed low self-esteem and burnout risk; females showed high self-esteem and males low anxiety. Team sports showed high depression, low anxiety and good sports climate scores. Southern athletes were prone to burnout and athletes from the center of the country showed high self-confidence. In conclusion, psychological constructs were different in males and females from individual and team sports and regions of Mexico during sports completion. Resumen. Los estudiantes deportistas tienen demandas de doble función porque además de ser atletas de nivel competitivo, tienen responsabilidades académicas que cumplir. Esta situación podría generar malestar psicológico que puede afectar su calidad de vida. El propósito del estudio fue comparar constructos psicológicos en deportistas universitarios que participaron en los Juegos Nacionales Universitarios Mexicanos. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 402 atletas (hombres = 210, mujeres = 192) que completaron medidas de agotamiento, clima deportivo, autoestima, depresión, ansiedad competitiva e imagen corporal. Los atletas mostraron baja autoestima y riesgo de agotamiento; las mujeres mostraron alta autoestima y los hombres poca ansiedad. Los deportes de equipo mostraron alta depresión, baja ansiedad y buenos puntajes de clima deportivo. Los atletas del sur eran propensos al agotamiento y los atletas del centro del país mostraron una alta confianza en sí mismos. En conclusión, los constructos psicológicos fueron diferentes en hombres y mujeres de deportes individuales y de equipo y regiones de México durante la finalización de los deportes.

“…There is evidence suggesting a correlation between burnout and depression (De Francisco et al, 2016;Dubuc-Charbonneau & Durand-Bush, 2015;Frank et al, 2017;Grobbelaar et al, 2011). There may be a clear association between the different burnout subscales and depression.…”

“…Thus far, only some studies clearly address both concepts (e.g., De Francisco et al, 2016;Frank et al, 2017;Gerber et al, 2018a;Smith et al, 2018). These studies point out that, while symptoms of both may overlap, both syndromes only have little relation over time and the two concepts are not interchangeable (Frank et al, 2017). However, both constructs can be regarded from a stress perspective (De Francisco et al, 2016) and share to some degree stress-related prospective features (Gerber et al, 2018a).…”

There exists a strong need for research in clinical sport psychology which does not merely gather information on prevalence rates for psychological disorders and case studies of affected athletes. Rather, research should also uncover the underlying psychological variables which increase the risk for depression and burnout in elite athletes. Many studies gather general factors (e.g., gender, injury, sport discipline) and stay on a more descriptive level. Both constructs (burnout and depression) are based on a temporal, stress-related process model assuming the development of either syndrome results from unfavorable personal (e.g., dysfunctional attitudes, perfectionism, negative coping strategies) or environmental (e.g., cohesion) factors coexisting with severe stressors (i.e., chronic stress). Integrating this knowledge, we propose a shared model for depression and burnout in athletes: a sport specific diathesis-stress model. The present longitudinal study assesses data throughout one sporting season to analyze predictors for both constructs in junior elite athletes. Hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses resulted in six predictors for best model fit. The following factors demonstrated a significant impact on predicting (a) burnout or (b) depression scores at the end of the season: dysfunctional attitudes (a and b), coping strategies (a and b), perfectionism (a), recovery (b), stress (a) and the level of depression at onset (b). Variables such as cohesion or attributional style did not significantly predict depression or burnout. The study supports the structure of a process model (diathesis-stress model) for burnout and depression with the assumption of temporal progression. With some vulnerabilities and their temporal, developmental link identified, prevention can become athlete-specific, effective and economical.

ObjectiveBurnout syndrome has been shown to mediate the pathway between job stress and depression. This study aims to assess the relationship between the various components of burnout syndrome and depression; and to determine the contribution of other sociodemographic variables to depression among medical students in Cameroon.DesignA cross-sectional study.SettingThree of the five medical schools in Cameroon with students in both preclinical and clinical levels of studies.ParticipantsThe study included 413 consenting medical students.Primary outcome measureData were collected via a printed self-administered questionnaire. The primary outcome—depression was assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire–9 (PHQ-9). Burnout was assessed using the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory. Multivariable linear regression was used to identify independent correlates of depression.ResultsThe overall prevalence of depression (PHQ-9 >4) and major depressive disorder (PHQ-9 >9) in these students was 66.34% and 23.00%, respectively. After multivariable linear regression analysis, four variables—total OLBI (beta=0.32; 95% CI 0.22 to 0.42; p<0.001); number of children (beta=−2.26; 95% CI −3.70 to –0.81; p=0.002); occurrence of a life-changing crises (beta=1.29; 95% CI 0.13 to 2.45; p=0.029) and presence of a chronic illness (beta=3.19; 95% CI 0.96 to 5.42; p=0.005) significantly predicted depression in these students and explained 32.4% of the variance (R2=32.4, F[14, 204]=6.98, p<0.001). The emotional exhaustion component (R2=17.4, F[1, 411]=86.39, p<0.001) explained more of the variance in depression than the disengagement component (R2=6.1, F[1, 411]=26.76, p<0.001) of burnout syndrome.ConclusionThe prevalence of depression among medical students in Cameroon is high. It is important that correlates of depression are identified early in medical students to limit progress to depression.
