To assess the burnout and resilience scores among medical and dental students and to identify the factors that affect burnout and resilience of the students.
Descriptive cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of the Study: Bahria University Health Sciences, Karachi, Pakistan, from March to September 2023.
A calculated sample of 392 students participated in this cross-sectional study. In which students self-administered the Burnout Assessment Test (BAT-23) and Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were determined using frequency and percentages and multiple regression analysis.
The mean age of the students was 21.6 ± 1.6 years predominantly females from a medical college, studying in clinical years, and residing in hostels or rented flats. The total burnout was 38%, out of which academic burnout was 80%. Among the four burnout categories, most of the students experienced exhaustion (87.5%) followed by cognitive impairment. The brief resilience score was high which assessed the coping mechanism, and 74.5% of the students had normal resilience. Medical students in clinical years living with a family, spending few hours on social media, having financial difficulties, and having lower resilience are all associated with a slightly higher burnout score.
The students displayed elevated brief resilience scores, signifying proficient coping strategies despite high academic burnout frequency. Exhaustion was the most widespread in the burnout categories, and factors linked to a slightly increased burnout score encompassed being a medical student in clinical years, living with family, dedicating more time to social media, encountering financial challenges, and possessing lower resilience.

评估医科和牙科学生的职业倦怠和心理韧性得分，并确定影响学生职业倦怠和心理韧性的因素。
描述性横断面研究。研究地点和时间：2023年3月至9月，巴基斯坦卡拉奇的巴哈里亚大学健康科学学院。
392名学生的计算样本参与了这项横断面研究。学生自行填写职业倦怠评估测试（BAT - 23）和简易心理韧性量表（BRS）问卷。使用频率和百分比以及多元回归分析来确定描述性统计数据。
学生的平均年龄为21.6±1.6岁，主要是来自医学院的女生，处于临床学习阶段，居住在宿舍或出租公寓。总体职业倦怠率为38%，其中学业倦怠率为80%。在四种职业倦怠类别中，大多数学生经历了精力耗竭（87.5%），其次是认知障碍。简易心理韧性得分较高，评估了应对机制，74.5%的学生心理韧性正常。临床阶段与家人同住、花很少时间在社交媒体上、有经济困难且心理韧性较低的医科学生，其职业倦怠得分略高。
学生的简易心理韧性得分较高，表明尽管学业倦怠频率较高，但应对策略熟练。在职业倦怠类别中，精力耗竭最为普遍，与职业倦怠得分略有增加相关的因素包括处于临床阶段的医科学生、与家人同住、在社交媒体上花费更多时间、面临经济挑战以及心理韧性较低。
