This study aims to identify the prevalence of burnout and associated factors in Brazilian medical students.
In the largest medical school from Central Brazil, the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey and a socio-demographic questionnaire were adopted in this cross-sectional study. Correlations among the three dimensions of burnout were verified.
The evaluation of 399 students revealed a frequency of 12.0% of burnout. Women had a higher rate of burnout (8.0%) than men (4.0%). The fifth period had the higher frequency of burnout (27.1%), while the seventh grade had the lower frequency (2.1%). The students showed high scores only in emotional exhaustion (63.2%). Between the dimensions "emotional exhaustion" and "disbelief" found a significant correlation.
The fifth period of the Medicine course and the female gender are the most affected by burnout syndrome and therefore, the preventive actions to reduce stress among medical students should be directed mainly at these higher risk categories. The low burnout rate found in our study can attest that the PBL methodology and medical schools strategically located to meet regional demand may represent strategies for the prevention of burnout among medical students.
本研究旨在确定巴西医学生职业倦怠的患病率及相关因素。
在巴西中部最大的医学院，本横断面研究采用了马氏职业倦怠量表-学生版调查和一份社会人口学问卷。对职业倦怠的三个维度之间的相关性进行了验证。
对399名学生的评估显示，职业倦怠的发生率为12.0%。女性职业倦怠率（8.0%）高于男性（4.0%）。五年级职业倦怠发生率最高（27.1%），而七年级发生率最低（2.1%）。学生仅在情感耗竭方面得分较高（63.2%）。在“情感耗竭”和“玩世不恭”维度之间发现存在显著相关性。
医学课程的五年级和女性受职业倦怠综合征影响最大，因此，减轻医学生压力的预防措施应主要针对这些高风险类别。我们研究中发现的低职业倦怠率可以证明，基于问题的学习方法以及为满足区域需求而战略布局的医学院校可能是预防医学生职业倦怠的策略。
