To assess the prevalence and levels of burnout syndrome among medical students at the Universidade Federal de Sergipe-Brazil and to identify associated factors.
A cross-sectional study was performed with randomly selected students in 2009. The Maslach Burnout Inventory/Student Survey (MBI-SS) and a structured questionnaire on socio-demographic characteristics, the educational process, and individual aspects were used. Statistical evaluation of multiple variables was performed through backward stepwise logistic regression analysis.
The prevalence of burnout was 10.3% (n = 369). The prevalence was higher among those who did not have confidence in their clinical skills (Odds Ratio-OR = 6.47), those who felt uncomfortable with course activities (OR = 5.76), and those who did not see the coursework as a source of pleasure (OR = 4.68).
There was a significant prevalence of burnout among the medical students studied. Three variables, in particular, were associated with burnout and were directly related to the medical education process. Preventive and intervention measures must be adopted, and longitudinal studies should be conducted.
评估巴西塞尔希培联邦大学医学生中 burnout 综合征的流行率和水平,并确定相关因素。
2009 年进行了一项横断面研究,对随机抽取的学生进行了研究。使用了 Maslach Burnout Inventory/Student Survey(MBI-SS)和一份关于社会人口统计学特征、教育过程和个人方面的结构化问卷。通过向后逐步逻辑回归分析对多个变量进行了统计评估。
burnout 的流行率为 10.3%(n = 369)。在那些对自己的临床技能没有信心的人(优势比-OR = 6.47)、那些对课程活动感到不舒服的人(OR = 5.76)和那些不认为课程是乐趣来源的人(OR = 4.68)中,burnout 的流行率更高。
在所研究的医学生中,burnout 的流行率显著。有三个变量与 burnout 显著相关,且与医学教育过程直接相关。必须采取预防和干预措施,并进行纵向研究。
