Background: Burnout syndrome (BS) is a set of psychological symptoms resulting from the interaction between chronic occupational stress and individual factors. These symptoms include emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and decreased professional satisfaction. BS is manifested in a variety of professions and is prevalent in contexts in which health professionals are required to interact directly with the public. Objective: To determine the prevalence of BS among medical students at a university in Ceará State, Brazil. Methods: Of the 517 students enrolled in their first to eighth semester in 2013, 376 (72.7%) were contacted. A socio-economic evaluation questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory -Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) were administered. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS 20.0. Two groups -burnout/risk and non-burnout -were compared using the chi-square and likelihood ratio tests with a significance level of 5%. Variables with p < 0.20 were included in a multivariate analysis logistical regression model. Results: Burnout was detected in 14.9% of the students, and 57.7% showed a risk of developing the syndrome. Logistic regressions showed an association between burnout and "have failed examinations" and "have considered abandoning the course", p = 0.047 and p < 0.0001, respectively. Discussion: Psychopedagogy should be implemented to address the high prevalence of burnout in medical students.

RESUMENEl sentido de coherencia conduce a evaluar las circunstancias de la vida como significativas, predecibles y manejables por lo que está considerando como una fuente que reduce el estrés y promociona la vida saludable. Por otro lado, las múltiples demandas que se plantean a los estudiantes en su periodo universitario pueden desencadenar estrés. Con este estudio hemos querido averiguar si el sentido de coherencia está relacionado con el cansancio emocional. Los participantes fueron 960 estudiantes universitarios (muestreo accidental), siendo el 81% mujeres. Respondieron a dos cuestionarios de autoinforme (el Cuestionario de Sentido de Coherencia SOC-13 y la Escala de Cansancio Emocional ECE). Se realizaron análisis de correlación y la prueba t de Student para averiguar las diferencias entre grupos. Las mujeres puntúan más alto que los hombres en cansancio emocional y los alumnos de tercero presentan mayores niveles de sentido de coherencia que los de primer curso. Los estudiantes con niveles altos de sentido de coherencia poseen niveles bajos de cansancio emocional, por lo que sería conveniente diseñar y poner en marcha estrategias para aumentar el sentido de coherencia disminuyendo así el cansancio emocional.ABSTRACTThe sense of coherence helps us view life events as significant, predictable, and manageable and it is thus thought to reduce stress and promote health. In contrast, the multiple demands faced by university students can trigger stress. In this study, we aimed to determine if the sense of coherence was related to emotional exhaustion. Participants were 960 university students (convenience sampling), 81% were women. They completed two self-report questionnaires: the SOC-13 Sense of Coherence Questionnaire and the Emotional Exhaustion Scale. We did correlation analyses and the Student’s t test to detect differences between groups. Women scored higher than men in emotional exhaustion. The third year students achieved higher scores in sense of coherence than first year students. Students with high scores in sense of coherence showed low levels of emotional exhaustion. These results indicate that it would be useful to design and implement strategies that help increase the sense of coherence and therefore reduce emotional exhaustion in university students.

“…Sreeramareddy et al (2007) linked 20.9% of undergraduate medical students in their study to psychological morbidity utilising the same GHQ-12 questionnaire. Such high levels of stress have been linked to poor academic performance (Alika 2012) and even burnout (IsHak et al 2013).…”
