“…This was in agreement with the study done in Malaysia 2016, by Chin RWA et al where, a higher number of female medical students reported burnout (68.10%) than male medical students (67.7%). 27 These findings are comparable with a study that found approximately 50% of female and 33% of male medical students experiencedpsychological stress. 32 The female predominance of burnout may be because, women tend to feel emotionally exhausted, whereas, men feel more depersonalised.…”

“…Personal burnout was the highest (81.6%), followed by work-related burnout (73.7%) and client-related burnout (68.6%). 27 The prevalence of burnout amongst medical students has been found to be comparatively high, between 45% and 71% of students affected in different studies. (22,(28)(29)(30) In the current study, work-related burnout(academic activities) higher than personal burnout this may be explained as burnout in those students is mainly due to the academic overburden more than the emotional exhaustion.…”

“…(19) This also was in agreement with another study where the prevalence of client related burnout was highest among older students and clinical stage ones. 27 In this context, clients were referred to the person to whom the respondents spent most of their time with during the academic session, for example, lecturers, and friends. The client-related burnout among senior medical students could be a result of having difficulties in adapting tolecturers' teaching style which was different from that of their pre-clinical stage.…”

Background: Burnout is a condition consists of physical, mental and emotional exhaustion that is due to long term exposure to challenging work situations. Burnout is a significant problem in the nursing profession and can cause serious impact on the health of the staff, patient care and the healthcare service. More information regarding burnout and its associated factors among nurses in Malaysia is needed to prevent the syndrome and to determine the appropriate intervention strategies. The study aimed to determine the proportion of burnout among nurses in Hospital Serdang and its associated factors. Materials and Methods:A cross sectional study was done among 509 nurses through simple random sampling using validated self-administered questionnaires that consists of Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory (CBI).Result: Proportion of nurses with burnout were 24%, whereby 61.9% had personal burnout, 30.8% work related burnout and 11.2% patient related burnout. Burnout had a significant association with working experience (p= 0.0039), working area (p= 0.047), work related stress (p=0.001), work schedule (p=0.003) and job satisfaction (p=0.001). Conclusion:Occupational related characteristic such as working experience, working area, work related stress, work schedule and job satisfaction were associated with burnout. It is recommended that the hospital management conduct a prevention program through modification of burnout associated factors and organise a stress reduction program in order to address this situation. Cohort study should be conducted in future study to include more hospital and to explore more on personal factors that may affects burnout among nurses.

“…The access to mental health support is paramount as growing data reveals poor mental health in clinical year students (37,38). The clinical education environment may potentially break the peer support where the students are fragmented in different clinical rotations (3).…”

Educational environment is an important determinant of medical students' behaviour. It impacts their academic performance, motivation, and psychological well-being. Quantitative evidence have shown that there is a decrease in the positive perception of clinical medical students towards the educational environment. The primary focus on this study was to explore the clinical education environment through the lived experience of clinical medical students during medical training. Using hermeneutic phenomenology we aimed to interpret participants' experience of personal clinical learning journey through free text input. Thematic analysis was performed to analyse the written texts. Various measures were taken to enhance the trustworthiness of the findings. A total of 154 (74.8%) fourth year students and 144 (74.6%) final year students participated in the study. We identified six overarching themes of education environment in clinical setting that are personal development, teaching and learning, assessment for learning, facility, support and nurturing curriculum. The overlapping relationship of the themes is illustrated in the Clinical Education Environment Framework. While many themes were consistent with existing framework, our findings also proposed assessment as an important component to influence perception on education environment. The themes in this study finding conform to the definition of education environment which covers physical, social, and psychological aspects of students learning. Medical schools should take active measures to incorporate a nurturing education environment especially in clinical year where students struggle with the hidden curriculum.
