Abstract

BACKGROUND

Motivation triggers all human activities including learning and lack of career motivation can lead to decreased efficiency. This study assessed the association between academic burnout and career choice motivation in senior dental students.

METHODS

This cross-sectional study was performed on senior dental students of all four dental schools in Tehran in 2017. Dental students voluntarily filled out a 33-item questionnaire that comprised three sections. The first section included the Burnout Clinical Subtype Questionnaire (BCSQ-SS) with 12 questions addressing academic burnout. The second section consisted of 8 questions about career choice motivation, and the third section concentrated on 13 questions dealing with demographics. The individual scores of each section and the total scores were reported. The factor analysis of 8 questions about dental career choice motivation yielded 3 factors of social status and security, altruism, and others' advice motivations. The data were analyzed using regression test.

RESULTS

Totally, 131 students filled out the questionnaire (response rate = 86%). The total score of academic burnout was 38.89% ± 1.13%. The highest and the lowest burnout scores belonged to the domains of "overload" (46.69%± 1.46%) and "neglect" (31.98%± 1.32%), respectively. The most and the least frequently mentioned source of motivation for choosing dentistry were high income and failing to enter other fields, respectively. The burnout score was higher in students with altruism motivations (P = 0.007) and lower in students with others' advice motivations (P = 0.004). The burnout score was higher in students with inadequate or moderate financial support from the family and lower in students whose mothers' educational level was high-school diploma or lower.

CONCLUSION

Senior dental students in Tehran encountered different levels of academic burnout. In the present study, low financial support and altruism as career choice motivations were associated with higher level of academic burnout.

摘要

背景

动机激发了所有人类活动，包括学习，而缺乏职业动机可能导致效率降低。本研究评估了牙科学龄学生学术倦怠与职业选择动机之间的关系。

方法

本横断面研究于 2017 年在德黑兰的四所牙科学院对高年级牙科学龄学生进行。牙科学龄学生自愿填写了一份包含三个部分的 33 项问卷。第一部分包括 12 个问题的倦怠临床亚型问卷（BCSQ-SS），涉及学术倦怠。第二部分由 8 个关于职业选择动机的问题组成，第三部分集中于 13 个涉及人口统计学的问题。报告了每个部分的个人得分和总分。对 8 个关于牙科职业选择动机的问题进行因子分析，得出 3 个因素，分别是社会地位和安全、利他主义和他人建议动机。使用回归检验分析数据。

结果

共有 131 名学生填写了问卷（应答率为 86%）。学术倦怠的总分是 38.89%±1.13%。倦怠得分最高和最低的领域分别是“超负荷”（46.69%±1.46%）和“忽视”（31.98%±1.32%）。选择牙科的最常见和最不常见的动机来源分别是高收入和未能进入其他领域。具有利他主义动机的学生的倦怠得分较高（P=0.007），而具有他人建议动机的学生的倦怠得分较低（P=0.004）。家庭经济支持不足或中等的学生的倦怠得分较高，而母亲教育程度为高中或以下的学生的倦怠得分较低。
