“…Different authors use very heterogeneous cut-off criteria, which makes comparison difficult. According to the findings revealed by the review of Erschens and colleagues [14], the cut-offs for the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey (MBI-HSS) were converted and transferred to the three subscales of the MBI-SS with regard to the official burnout manual of Maslach [1,4]. Thus ‘high exhaustion’ (EE) was defined with the sum values ≥16, ‘high’ cynicism (CY) rates with the sum values ≥10 and ‘perceived low level of academic efficacy’ (AE) with the sum values <24.…”

Background: High levels of burnout rates amongst medical students have been confirmed by numerous studies from diverse contexts. This study aims to explore the functional and dysfunctional coping strategies of medical students with regard to their respective burnout factors.Methods: About 845 medical students in the 3rd, 6th, and 9th semesters and students in their final year were invited to take part in the survey. The self-administered questionnaire included items on potential functional and dysfunctional behavioural-based coping strategies as well as the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Version (MBI-SS). In addition, a comparison of the local results with a German reference sample involving other students was calculated.Results: A total of 597 medical students (70.7%) participated in the cross-sectional study. The results showed high burnout rates, averaging 35%. Students in earlier stages of university education showed lower values for cynicism (a subdimension of burnout), but higher values for emotional exhaustion than students in higher stages. Concerning academic efficacy, there was a trend towards less efficient perception among students in higher education. The identified functional coping strategies were ‘seeking support from friends’, ‘seeking support from family’, ‘doing relaxing exercise’, ‘doing sports’ and ‘seeking support from fellow students’. The identified dysfunctional coping strategies were ‘taking tranquilizers’, ‘taking stimulants’, ‘drinking alcohol’, ‘withdrawal and ruminating’, and ‘playing games on the PC or mobile phone’. The medical students surveyed are more affected by burnout symptoms than the reference populations, but the overall result was difficult to interpret.Conclusions: The identified behavioural-based functional coping strategies suggest that social support and active relaxing exercises seem to be very important possibilities for medical students to reduce stress and exhaustion. The use of drugs and alcohol for stress reduction raises concerns. Programs are recommended to improve resilient behaviour and to impart the identified functional coping strategies to medical students.

“…All procedures were approved by the authors' institutional review board. Burnout was assessed with the Maslach Burnout Inventory (8), a widely used measure of emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and personal accomplishment. The subscales have shown good internal consistency, stability over time, and convergent validity with related constructs (8).…”

The subscales have shown good internal consistency, stability over time, and convergent validity with related constructs (8). Job satisfaction was assessed with five items from the Job Diagnostic Survey, which has shown good internal consistency (9) and evidence of convergent and divergent validity (10).…”

Objective Staff burnout is a frequent problem for mental health providers and may be associated with negative outcomes for providers, consumers, and organizations. This study tested an intervention to reduce staff burn-out. Methods Community mental health providers were invited to participate in a day-long training session to learn methods to reduce burnout. A Web-based survey was given at time of registration, before the intervention, and again six weeks later. Results Eighty-four providers participated in the training, and follow-up data were available for 74. Six weeks after the day-long training, staff reported significant decreases in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization and significant increases in positive views toward consumers. There were no significant changes in providers' sense of personal accomplishment, job satisfaction, or intention to leave their position. Ninety-one percent of the staff reported the training to be helpful. Conclusions This brief intervention is feasible, is acceptable to staff, and may improve burnout and staff attitudes.
