: The present study aims to assess the prevalence of burnout and associated factors among dental students, interns, and dental practitioners in Saudi Arabia. : A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among dental students, interns, and practitioners at Makkah Province, KSA. The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) scale was used to assess burnout. The difference in mean scores was tested using a -test and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was carried out for the independent variables and outcome variable of burnout syndrome. : The total number of participants was 302 (female = 25, male = 277). The mean age of study participants was 30.2 ± 10.1. A total of 66.2% of study participants presented with high emotional exhaustion, 48.7% with high depersonalization, and 38.7% with low personal achievement. Burnout level was 1.78 times (CI = 1.52-3.53, = 0.032) higher among female participants than male participants. Burnout level was 1.53 times (C = 1.31-3.17, = 0.043) higher among student participants compared to practitioners. Burnout level was 2.41 times (CI = 1.72-3.79, = 0.023) higher among participants who worked more than 5 days per week compared to participants who worked ≤ 5 days per week. : This study's results showed burnout syndrome was high among dental students compared to interns and dental practitioners. A significant association was seen between increased working hours per week and burnout syndrome. There is a need for a proactive step to highlight the importance of burnout management, especially among dental students.
本研究旨在评估沙特阿拉伯牙科专业学生、实习生和牙科从业者职业倦怠的患病率及相关因素。
在沙特阿拉伯麦加省的牙科专业学生、实习生和从业者中开展了一项描述性横断面研究。采用马氏职业倦怠量表（MBI）评估职业倦怠情况。使用t检验和方差分析（ANOVA）检验平均得分的差异。对职业倦怠综合征的自变量和结果变量进行多变量逻辑回归分析。
参与者总数为302人（女性 = 25人，男性 = 277人）。研究参与者的平均年龄为30.2 ± 10.1岁。共有66.2%的研究参与者表现出高度情绪耗竭，48.7%表现出高度去个性化，38.7%表现出低个人成就感。女性参与者的职业倦怠水平比男性参与者高1.78倍（CI = 1.52 - 3.53，P = 0.032）。与从业者相比，学生参与者的职业倦怠水平高1.53倍（CI = 1.31 - 3.17，P = 0.043）。与每周工作≤ 5天的参与者相比，每周工作超过5天的参与者的职业倦怠水平高2.41倍（CI = 1.72 - 3.79，P = 0.023）。
本研究结果显示，与实习生和牙科从业者相比，牙科专业学生的职业倦怠综合征发生率较高。每周工作时间增加与职业倦怠综合征之间存在显著关联。有必要采取积极措施突出职业倦怠管理的重要性，尤其是在牙科专业学生中。
