Burnout syndrome defined as a state of emotional exhaustion and disengagement; which could reduce optimal healthcare delivery, is relatively common amongst healthcare trainees. We sought to assess the determinants of burnout syndrome amongst nursing students in Cameroon. A cross-sectional study which included 447 nursing students recruited after written informed consent by convenience sampling, was carried out from January to April 2018. A printed self-administered questionnaire assessing burnout using the OLdenburg Burnout Inventory was used. Multivariable linear regression was used to identify independent determinants of burnout syndrome.
Most (81.17%) of the students were female with the average for disengagement items being 17.10 ± 3.09 (minimum = 8, maximum = 26) and 20.94 ± 3.04 (minimum = 13, maximum = 31) for exhaustion items. After multivariable linear regression analysis, satisfaction with results (RC: - 1.42, 95% CI - 2.52, - 0.32, p value: 0.012) and regret of choice of nursing studies (RC: 2.13, 95% CI 0.58, 3.68, p value = 0.007) were found to be independent predictors of burnout in these students. Early identification of these determinants is required to prevent progression to burnout.
职业倦怠综合征被定义为一种情绪耗竭和疏离的状态，它会降低最佳医疗服务的提供，在医疗培训学员中相对常见。我们试图评估喀麦隆护理专业学生职业倦怠综合征的决定因素。2018年1月至4月进行了一项横断面研究，通过便利抽样招募了447名护理专业学生，并获得了他们的书面知情同意。使用一份使用奥尔登堡倦怠量表评估倦怠情况的自填式印刷问卷。采用多变量线性回归来确定职业倦怠综合征的独立决定因素。
大多数（81.17%）学生为女性，疏离项目的平均得分是17.10±3.09（最小值=8，最大值=26），耗竭项目的平均得分是20.94±3.04（最小值=13，最大值=31）。经过多变量线性回归分析，发现对成绩的满意度（回归系数：-1.42，95%置信区间-2.52，-0.32，p值：0.012）和对选择护理专业学习的后悔感（回归系数：2.13，95%置信区间0.58，3.68，p值=0.007）是这些学生职业倦怠的独立预测因素。需要尽早识别这些决定因素以防止发展为职业倦怠。
