This study aimed to examine the prevalence of burnout, determine burnout-related factors, investigate resilience levels, and assess the relationship between burnout and resilience among physical therapy (PT) students at King Saud University (KSU) in Saudi Arabia.
This cross-sectional study involved 153 PT students studying at KSU between January and March 2023. The participants completed an online questionnaire, a , and a .
Low-to-moderate levels of (EE) were observed in 85% of the participants and high (DP) levels were reported by 34.2%. Female participants reported higher levels of EE and DP, whereas males had a greater prevalence of low (PA) levels. Approximately 6.5% of the study participants reported high burnout levels (a combination of high DP, high EE, and low PA). Academic stress, followed by sleeping difficulties and changes in the academic year structure, were the most important factors contributing to higher levels of burnout (75.2%, 56.9%, and 43.8%, respectively). Most study participants around (66.0%) reported normal resilience levels. A significant correlation was detected between resilience and 2 domains of burnout (DP and PA), with the correlation being negative and weak for DP and positive and moderate for PA.
Overall, low-to-moderate levels of burnout were observed among the PT students who took part. Related factors that contributed to burnout were academic stress, sleeping difficulties, and academic year structure. A normal level of resilience was found to be significantly related to DP and PA but not to EE on the burnout subscales. Higher levels of resilience can be considered to play a protective role against burnout among PT students. Med Pr Work Health Saf. 2024;75(4):343-354.
本研究旨在调查沙特阿拉伯沙特国王大学（KSU）物理治疗（PT）学生的倦怠流行率、确定与倦怠相关的因素、调查韧性水平，并评估倦怠与韧性之间的关系。
这项横断面研究涉及 2023 年 1 月至 3 月期间在 KSU 学习的 153 名 PT 学生。参与者完成了在线问卷、Beck 抑郁量表和Connor-Davidson 韧性量表。
85%的参与者表现出低到中度的耗竭（EE），34.2%的参与者报告了高的去人格化（DP）水平。女性参与者报告了更高的 EE 和 DP 水平，而男性则有更低的 PA 水平。约 6.5%的研究参与者报告了高倦怠水平（高 DP、高 EE 和低 PA 的组合）。学业压力，其次是睡眠困难和学年结构的变化，是导致倦怠水平较高的最重要因素（分别为 75.2%、56.9%和 43.8%）。大多数研究参与者（约 66.0%）报告了正常的韧性水平。在韧性和倦怠的两个维度（DP 和 PA）之间发现了显著的相关性，DP 的相关性为负且较弱，PA 的相关性为正且中等。
总体而言，参与研究的 PT 学生表现出低到中度的倦怠水平。导致倦怠的相关因素是学业压力、睡眠困难和学年结构。发现正常的韧性水平与 DP 和 PA 显著相关，但与倦怠子量表中的 EE 不相关。较高的韧性水平可以被认为在保护 PT 学生免受倦怠方面发挥了作用。医学实践与研究卫生保健与安全。2024；75（4）：343-354。
