Burnout in medical students

Abstract

Only a small number of studies have examined the relationship between medical students and burnout syndrome. In Salzburg, Paracelsus Private Medical University (PMU) offers a 5-year medical program instead of the regular 6 years of medical studies. Due to the tight schedule and heavy workload, the stress level of students is high. The purpose of this study was to determine whether PMU students show burnout symptoms. Three surveys were conducted: at the beginning of the academic year (T1, December 2009), at the end of the academic year (T2, June 2010), and at the beginning of the following academic year (T3, December 2010). For the assessment of burnout, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization or cynicism, and low personal accomplishment) was used, as well as the Six Factors Theory of Burnout (workload, control, reward, community, fairness, and values) and for comparison, the Austrian norms developed by Unterholzer. Burnout rate was calculated by a combined measure of the three components. The results show a significant difference from the norm means in emotional exhaustion, depersonalization/cynicism, and low personal

Burnout among medical students of a medical college in Kathmandu; A cross-sectional study

“…Regarding demographic data, there is no significant association of gender with a burnout in our study which is similar to the findings of some prior studies [ 30 – 32 ] but contrary to the studies which show high burnout in females compared to males [ 12 , 33 ]. Also, no significant association was found between different age groups of students, which is similar to the findings of a previous study done by Dyrbye (2014) [ 18 ] and contrary to the findings of the previous study by O’Connor (2018) [ 34 ].…”

Burnout prevalence and degree among undergraduate medical students in Indonesia during 1 month of the COVID-19 pandemic: A cross-sectional descriptive survey

“…The studies involved in the analysis used the MBI and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI). A more recent study involving 250 medical students in Austria, which used MBI, found a close result of 47,8% (Thun-Hohenstein et al, 2021).…”

Orvostanhallgatók pszichológiai ellátása

“…Egy pakisztáni egyetemen folytatott vizsgálat (Iqbal et al, 2020) alapján az első-és másodéves orvostanhallgatók között a distressz előfordulása 100%-os. A mentális egészségügyi adatok epidemiológiája pedig azt mutatja, hogy a medikusok több mint 20%-a pszichés zavarban szenved és/vagy mentálhigiénés problémákkal küzd (Thun-Hohenstein et al, 2020).…”

“…Számos vizsgálat tanulmányozta az orvosok kiégésének eredetét, és az elmúlt 10 évben egyre több kutatás számol be arról, hogy a burnout jelenség már az orvosi egyetemen elkezdődhet (Chunming et al, 2017;Thun-Hohenstein et al, 2020). Egyes tanulmányok alapján a medikusok megközelítőleg fele szenvedhet kiégéstől (Enoch et al, 2013).…”
