Background: Medical education is challenging, but for some students it can be very stressful. Studies suggest that stress during medical education can have a negative impact on students’ mental health and that burnout is frequent among medical school students. Objectives: The aim of this study was to measure burnout among students of medicine/dentistry (M/D) at the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry, Taibah, Madinah, Saudi Arabia, to assess relation to their perception of stress, and non-medical use of stimulants, so as to enable planning preventative activities for students at risk. Methods: 732 students were enrolled in an observational cross-sectional study, during Fall semester, 2019among the total population of M/D students of 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th year, using a self-administered online questionnaire. Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI) instrument was used. Separate burnout scores were calculated for the exhaustion and disengagement dimensions of burnout, and related to students’ perception of stress. Results: The overall response rate was 72.05%, and a total of 732 students participated. 51.5% of M/D students experienced academic burnout, 90.3% have moderate stress. Students scored higher on disengagement than on exhaustion dimension - 52.84% of medical students self reported exhaustion, while 58.32% of medical students were disengaged. The results showed a statistically significant association between stress and burnout, 95.83% of highly stressed students experienced burnout. Multiple logistic regression method was carried out to adjust the association estimates for several potential confounders in the relation between academic burnout and stress (stress, age, gender, BMI, GPA, college, smoking, family income, and birth order).
Conclusion: Results confirmed our hypothesis that M/D students of Taibah University Faculty of Medicine more likely to experience high level stress and burnout. |
