Abstract

Background: Burnout is a stress-related syndrome that affects medical students. Certain environmental and personal factors can contribute to the onset of burnout and lead to serious consequences such as dropping out of school, sleep disorders, depression, and even suicide. Professional commitment is a personal characteristic that positively influences burnout. Methods: This research was conducted to determine the differentiation of burnout levels among medical school students based on certain variables and examine the impact of professional commitment on burnout. The research sample consisted of a total of 130 individuals studying of Medical Faculty in Türkiye. Descriptive and correlational research techniques, including survey models, were utilized in the study. Data were collected through online platforms and face-to-face surveys. The collected data were analyzed using the SPSS program. Results: The research findings revealed that male students had higher depersonalization scores than female students (P<0.05). Emotional exhaustion and depersonalization scores were found to be higher among students with poor academic performance (P<0.017), those who did not choose medical school willingly (P<0.017), and those who chose medical school due to family pressure (P<0.05). Among female students, those who chose medical school willingly and those who chose it as their dream profession had higher scores of professional commitment. As professional commitment scores increased, burnout scale scores and their subscales, including exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment, decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion: The findings of the study indicate a relationship between professional commitment and burnout, suggesting that professional commitment can reduce burnout levels. This highlights the importance of increasing the level of professional commitment among medical students, who are future physicians. Strengthening students’ commitment to their profession can decrease the risk of burnout and improve the quality of healthcare services.
基耶医学院学生职业倦怠与专业承诺:一项横断面分析
背景:职业倦怠是一种影响医学生的压力相关综合征。某些环境和个人因素可能会导致倦怠,并导致严重的后果,如辍学、睡眠障碍、抑郁甚至自杀。职业承诺是一种积极影响职业倦怠的个人特征。方法:本研究在一定变量的基础上,确定医学生职业倦怠水平的差异,并考察职业承诺对职业倦怠的影响。本研究样本由在基耶医学院学习的130名个人组成。描述性和相关性研究技术,包括调查模型,在研究中被使用。通过在线平台和面对面调查收集数据。收集的数据使用SPSS软件进行分析。结果:研究发现男生人格解体得分高于女生(P<0.05)。学业成绩差的学生(P<0.017)、非自愿选择医学院的学生(P<0.017)和因家庭压力选择医学院的学生(P<0.05)的情绪耗竭和人格解体得分较高。在女学生中,自愿选择医学院和将其作为梦想职业的女学生的专业承诺得分更高。随着职业承诺得分的增加,倦怠量表得分及其子量表倦怠、人格解体和个人成就感降低均呈下降趋势(P<0.05)。结论:本研究结果提示职业承诺与职业倦怠之间存在一定的关系,表明职业承诺可以降低职业倦怠水平。这突出了提高医学生的专业承诺水平的重要性,他们是未来的医生。加强学生对其专业的承诺可以减少倦怠的风险,提高医疗保健服务的质量。
