Learning environment and its relationship with quality of life and burn-out among undergraduate medical students in Pakistan: a cross-sectional study

Students were less likely to have a high QoL, even if they rated JHLES score on a higher side. They were more likely to have higher emotional exhaustion with successive higher class and residential status (boarders). Also, students had minimally high depersonalisation even when they rated higher scores on the JHLES scale. Based on this study, policies can be developed to improve students' well-being. Further studies are suggested postpandemic, with a bigger scope of intrinsic and extrinsic influencing factors for QoL and burn-out associated with the learning environment.
