The participation in extracurricular activities reduces the attributed importance to some causes of perfectionism, which influences the prevalence of burnout in medical students. This study aimed to investigate how this relationship occurs and which factors it is dependent on, in order to create strategies directed at these potential targets.
We developed a questionnaire that assesses the participation in extracurricular activities, including a survey regarding the reasons for perfectionism and part of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory adapted for students. The questionnaire's application to medical students of the Masters Degree in Medicine of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra was followed by statistical analysis.
In a sample of 360 students, 40% ranked highly in personal burnout, and 28.1% in study-related burnout, while 22.2% showed high levels of burnout in both components. Students who participated in extracurricular activities were less frequently associated with simultaneous personal-related and study-related high levels of burnout (p = 0.013). The kind of chosen extracurricular activity was not associated with the prevalence of burnout.
Only 53.9% of students participate in extracurricular activities. Such participation is associated with a lower prevalence of burnout if it is practiced several times per week. The choice of one kind of activity over another does not seem to influence the prevalence of this syndrome, all of which are associated with benefits in different domains.
We observed a lower prevalence of burnout among students that engaged in extracurricular activities. Further studiesthat can infer causality in this relationship are needed, in order to establish effective solutions specific to the medical course context.
参与课外活动会降低完美主义某些成因的重要性，这会影响医学生职业倦怠的发生率。本研究旨在调查这种关系是如何产生的以及它取决于哪些因素，以便制定针对这些潜在目标的策略。
我们编制了一份问卷，用于评估课外活动参与情况，包括一份关于完美主义原因的调查以及哥本哈根职业倦怠量表中适用于学生的部分。在对科英布拉大学医学院医学硕士学位的医学生进行问卷发放后，进行了统计分析。
在360名学生的样本中，40%的学生个人倦怠程度较高，28.1%的学生学习相关倦怠程度较高，而22.2%的学生在这两个方面都表现出较高的倦怠水平。参与课外活动的学生较少同时出现个人相关和学习相关的高倦怠水平（p = 0.013）。所选课外活动的类型与倦怠发生率无关。
只有53.9%的学生参与课外活动。如果每周进行多次课外活动，这种参与与较低的倦怠发生率相关。选择一种活动而非另一种活动似乎不会影响这种综合征的发生率，所有这些活动在不同领域都有好处。
我们观察到参与课外活动的学生中倦怠发生率较低。需要进一步的研究来推断这种关系中的因果关系，以便制定针对医学课程背景的有效解决方案。
