The present study aimed to explore the prevalence of burnout syndrome and to find the association of burnout symptoms with sociodemographic factors in medical students.
A cross-sectional study was conducted between September 2019 to January 2021 at Shifa College of Medicine, Islamabad. A total of 284 medical students from the first year to the fifth year participated in this cross-sectional study. After taking informed consent, students were asked to record responses on the Burnout Clinical Subtype Questionnaire BCSQ-12. In addition, a structured questionnaire was developed to obtain information about the sociodemographic status.
Prevalence of burnout was observed among day scholars, females, and students having a relatively sedentary lifestyle. Low family income showed a significant association of burnout in medical students (p=0.025). A significant association was found in the mean scores of neglect subtype of burnout with low family household income ( = 0.010). The mean scores of the overload subtype of burnout and daily duration of sleep also showed a significant association ( = 0.039).
The prevalence of burnout was associated with low household income and sleep deprivation. Gender, academic year and physical activity did not have a significant association with burnout syndrome. The high prevalence of burnout syndrome necessitates appropriate interventions to identify and reduce the prevalence of burnout in medical students.
本研究旨在探讨倦怠综合征的患病率，并找出医学生倦怠症状与社会人口学因素之间的关联。
2019年9月至2021年1月在伊斯兰堡的希法医学院进行了一项横断面研究。共有284名从一年级到五年级的医学生参与了这项横断面研究。在获得知情同意后，要求学生在《倦怠临床亚型问卷》（BCSQ - 12）上记录回答。此外，还编制了一份结构化问卷以获取有关社会人口学状况的信息。
走读生、女性以及生活方式相对久坐的学生中观察到倦怠的患病率。家庭收入低与医学生的倦怠存在显著关联（p = 0.025）。家庭收入低与倦怠忽视亚型的平均得分之间存在显著关联（p = 0.010）。倦怠过载亚型的平均得分与每日睡眠时间也显示出显著关联（p = 0.039）。
倦怠的患病率与家庭收入低和睡眠不足有关。性别、学年和体育活动与倦怠综合征没有显著关联。倦怠综合征的高患病率需要采取适当干预措施来识别和降低医学生中倦怠的患病率。
