Academic burnout in students manifests as emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a sense of stagnation in their education. Given the high prevalence of occupational burnout among dental students, screening dental students for early signs of burnout can facilitate intervention and prevent negative effects on their physical and mental well-being.
This cross-sectional study included 180 clinical dentistry students in their third year and above at Kerman Dental Faculty during the academic year 2022-2023. A questionnaire comprising demographic information and the 12-item Persian version of the Burnout Clinical Subtype Questionnaire (BCSQ-12-SS) was utilized. Students' responses were scored on a five-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26, employing T-tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and linear regression tests, with a significance level set at 0.05.
Of the participants, 52.1% were female, and 47.9% were male, with an average age of 23.35 years. The response rate was 66.66%, with 120 completed questionnaires analyzed. High scores were observed in 4.2% for academic burnout, 23.3% for overload, 13.4% for lack of development, and 4.2% for neglect. No significant associations were found between academic burnout and gender, marital status, economic status, place of residence, or choice of major. However, factors such as family influence, high income, and social image as reasons for choosing dentistry were significantly associated with participants' total academic burnout scores.
Despite the low overall prevalence of burnout in this sample, understanding the factors influencing academic burnout is crucial for prevention due to its significant impact on students' academic performance and psychological well-being.
学生的学业倦怠表现为情绪耗竭、去个性化以及在学业上的停滞感。鉴于牙科学生职业倦怠的高发生率，筛查牙科学生倦怠的早期迹象有助于进行干预，并预防对其身心健康产生负面影响。
这项横断面研究纳入了克尔曼牙科学院2022 - 2023学年三年级及以上的180名临床牙科学生。使用了一份包含人口统计学信息以及波斯语版12项倦怠临床亚型问卷（BCSQ - 12 - SS）的问卷。学生的回答采用五点李克特量表计分。使用SPSS 26对数据进行分析，采用t检验、方差分析、皮尔逊相关性分析和线性回归检验，显著性水平设定为0.05。
参与者中，52.1%为女性，47.9%为男性，平均年龄为23.35岁。回复率为66.66%，共分析了120份完整问卷。学业倦怠得分高的占4.2%，超负荷得分高的占23.3%，缺乏发展得分高的占13.4%，忽视得分高的占4.2%。未发现学业倦怠与性别、婚姻状况、经济状况、居住地点或专业选择之间存在显著关联。然而，诸如家庭影响、高收入以及选择牙科的社会形象等因素与参与者的总学业倦怠得分显著相关。
尽管该样本中倦怠的总体发生率较低，但由于其对学生学业成绩和心理健康有重大影响，了解影响学业倦怠的因素对于预防至关重要。
