Exploring burnout in medical education: a mixed-method study among university of Ibadan medical students
The high prevalence of burnout among medical students at the University of Ibadan underscores the need for systemic reforms in medical education. Key recommendations include more frequent academic breaks, improved infrastructure and enhanced institutional support services. Efforts to address burnout should focus on fostering a more supportive academic environment. These findings are crucial for developing interventions aimed at improving the mental health and well-being of medical students in Nigeria and similar contexts.
