“…This study has some limitations such as comparing results about burnout in the literature is not easy mainly due to the difference in the curriculum between the Schools of Medicine (e.g., age at matriculation or number of years studying medicine). Secondly, Bianchi, Schonfeld and Laurent have criticized prevalence estimations for burnout syndrome as Maslach Burnout Inventory scales have no established thresholds for diagnosing burnout [ 22 – 24 ]; therefore, we have avoided any cut-off and present our results in a quantitative scale. However, this procedure makes it difficult any comparison with other studies.…”

Background Burnout syndrome is a frequent syndrome related to people that feel a deterioration in their daily activities due to highly demandant psychological requirements in their workplaces. Within last decades, this syndrome has been studied across medical professionals, concluding that stress levels that physicians suffer is high enough to make them develop burnout syndrome. In the case of medical students, there are some recent studies, although with small samples. For this reason, given that this phenomenon may produce a huge impact in medical students’ development, the aim of this study is to analyze the influential factors that may contribute to its occurrence. Methods The necessary information was gathered through a web-based questionnaire, divided in two parts. The first part of the survey included questions related to personal aspects of the students. Burnout related questions (second part) were divided in three subscales to evaluate exhaustion, cynicism, and academic efficacy levels. Results Family support for studying medicine is associated with lower burnout levels in all three scales of the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The number of years spent in the degree show the opposite trend: the more years in the degree, the higher score in all burnout scales. Conclusions Burnout syndrome is a problem among medical students in Spain that increases with the number of years studying medicine. It should be also noticed that family support and vocational studies are independent factors related to lower levels of burnout.

Background: Burnout syndrome is an increasingly frequent pathology that is related to people that suffer a deterioration in their daily activities due to highly demandant psychological requirements in their workplaces. Within last decades, burnout syndrome has been studied across medical professionals, concluding that physicians suffer stress levels high enough to make them develop it. Recently, attention has also been paid to medical students, although with small samples. Given that this phenomenon may produce a huge impact in medical students´ development, the aim of this study is to analyze the influential factors that may contribute to its occurrence. Methods: The necessary information was gathered through a web-based questionnaire, divided in two parts. The first part of the survey included questions related to personal aspects of the students. Burnout related questions (second part) were divided in three subscales to evaluate exhaustion, cynicism, and academic efficacy levels. Results: Family support for studying medicine is associated with lower burnout levels in all three scales of the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The number of years spent in the degree show the opposite trend: the more years in the degree, the higher score in all burnout scales. High percentage of Spanish medical students score high in one or more subscales composing burnout syndrome.Conclusions: Burnout syndrome is a problem among medical students in Spain that increases with the number of years studying medicine. It should be also noticed that family support and vocational studies are independent factors related to lower levels of burnout.
