“…MBI-SS had been extensively used to assess burnout amongst health students, thus it was choosen for comparison with other studies. [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] The MBI-SS validated in Chile 17 was used. The MBI-SS measures the 3 aspects of the syndrome: emotional fatigue, depersonalization, and personal fulfillment.…”

“…9,10 Students who suffer burnout are more predisposed to the use of medications to control anxiety, manage cognitive performance problems, and regulate sleep problems or symptoms of depression. 11 If burnout is not treated in time, it could be a precursor to deterioration in mental health, leading to long-term depression and suicide. 9,12,13 Dental students present high rates of burnout as a consequence of highly demanding professional training, accompanied by high fees and difficult recovery of investment, which translates into high levels of dissatisfaction with low personal fulfillment.…”

Objetive: Assess the association of burnout with socio-educational variables in a sample of Chilean dental students. Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on dental students in their 4th/5th years of the University of Concepción, Chile. The sample size was estimated at 170 students. The following variables were considered: sociodemographic (sex, age, with whom the student lives and commune of origin), educational (course, course failure, number of years behind and their cause, number of career options, funding, and secondary school type), and Burnout-MBI-SS (Maslach's Burnout Inventory for students). To evaluate the association between the variables, descriptive statistics for quantitative were made using mean and standard deviation for normal distribution variables, and median and interquartile range for non-normal distribution variables; for categorical variables, frequency, and percentage distribution was calculated. Shapiro-Wilk test was used to assess normality, as non-normal distribution was verified for MBI-SS, Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis was used to estimate statistical differences amongst categorical variables, and Spearman for correlations (p < 0.05). Results: Most students were in 4th year, female with a mean age of 23. For the majority, dental school was their first option, and were studying with a scholarship. Most of them lived with their nuclear family and 58% had at least failed one course. Statistical significant correlations were only found for Depersonalization with students’ age (rho= 0.2420) and reprobation years (rho= 0.1838). Conclusions: Dental students from the University of Concepción, which are female, attending their fifth year, and students who failed courses, especially clinical ones, exhibit higher levels of burnout.

“…In addition, it influences students’ mental and physical health [ 12 ] and even can be connected with the emergence of suicidal ideation [ 13 , 14 ]. Burnout is also indicated as one of the variables (along with commitment and social support) affecting drug use among students [ 15 ]. As for social support, its protective role against burnout [ 16 ] may be demonstrated, as burnout affects relationships with colleagues and teachers [ 12 ].…”

According to Maslach and Leiter, burnout syndrome consists of three elements: exhaustion, cynicism, and a sense of ineffectiveness experienced by individuals in the work environment. However, burnout does not only apply to professional activity but can also be experienced by students pursuing higher education. This is important because the consequences of student burnout can be related to students’ mental and physical health. Until recently, the dominant diagnostic trend in the studies of burnout syndrome was based on a variable-focused approach. This approach focuses primarily on identifying subgroups in the population and presents different configurations of the various dimensions of burnout. However, there is emerging research using a person-centered approach and including the analysis of latent profiles to study professional and student burnout. This approach allows us to isolate subgroups of individuals in the study sample who have a similar burnout pattern. It focuses on the differences between individuals, which helps us to look at the phenomenon of professional burnout from a different perspective and shows the individuality of its experience. Our research aimed at identifying latent profiles, was conducted on a sample of 1519 Polish students, and partly confirms reports from other countries. We identified four profiles: low burnout, moderate below-average burnout, moderate above-average burnout, and very high burnout groups.
