“…[20][21][22][23][24][25] However, the majority of the Thai undergraduate medical students perceived either low personal accomplishment, high emotional exhaustion or depersonalisation, which is similar to studies conducted internationally. [20][21][22][23][24] This study suggests that students of male gender and lower academic performance were at higher risk of burnout. Although Backović and colleagues 25 found that female students were more vulnerable to stress and burnout, Chunming and colleagues 26 also indicated that male students had greater burnout risk.…”

“…Studies capture varying degrees of perceived levels of stress suffered by medical students at Arab colleges, and its effects on their academic performance, such as Sudan, (50%), Egypt (60%), and Saudi Arabia, ranging from 53%-72% respectively (Dafaalla, 2016;Abdelrahman et al, 2013;Abdelghani et al, 2011;Paro et al, 2014). On the other hand, the prevalence of burnout syndrome is reportedly 10% to 45%, depending on the instrument used for diagnosis (Galan et al, 2014;Youssef, 2016;Ishak et al, 2013;Almeida, 2016;Chigerwe, 2014;Fawzy, 2017). Although low levels of exposure to stress can positively benefit students' performance and improve their academic dynamic (Heinen, 2017;Ludwig et al, 2015), yet it can have unfavourable effects on student outcomes when an imbalance occurs from such pressures, responsibilities and demands ( Ibrahim et al, 2013;Cecil, 2014;Muzafar et al, 2015).…”

“…Stress and burnout are endemic in multi-medical institutions and are usually exhibited early during the preclinical stage, ranging from 62-75%; whereas stress and burnout during the clinical stage range from 25.6-78% and 10-45%, depending on the instrument used for diagnosis (Galan et al, 2014;Youssef, 2016;Ishak et al, 2013). Regardless, only a few medical schools have already implemented mental well-being programs to support students during their clinical training periods, allowing them to graduate as healthy young physicians (Galan et al, 2014;Youssef, 2016;Ishak et al, 2013;Almeida, 2016;Chigerwe, 2014;Fawzy, 2017;Sohail, 2013).…”
