“…Generally, literature suggests that emotional exhaustion is higher among medical students, followed closely by personal accomplishment. 1,2,7,22,23 The Cronbach's alpha values for the used professional commitment scale and burnout scale were found to be 0.87 and 0.91, respectively, indicating satisfactory reliability of the scales. 24 When examining the scale scores, it was observed that the standard deviation of student burnout scores is 10.55, and the range of score variation is 27-77.…”

“…Regarding the variable of choosing medical school willingly, no statistically significant difference was found in professional efficacy scores, while significant differences were observed in emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and total burnout scores between those who willingly chose medical school and those who did not. In a study by Akkoyun et al, 1 it was found that 19% of students did not choose medical school willingly, and these students experienced higher levels of burnout in all areas compared to others. Our study is partially consistent with another study that reported higher levels of emotional exhaustion among students who did not choose medical school willingly.…”

“…However, the academic workload, lengthy duration of education, exam stress, the burden of working under significant responsibility, and the need for continuous learning and updating knowledge can expose students to the risk of burnout.

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.
