Burnout Without Borders: Exploring Burnout and the Validity of the Maslach Burnout Inventory Among Medical Students Across Four Countries in Africa.
The results of our study provide empirical evidence supporting the presence of burnout among medical students, revealing significant disparities across the participating countries. While the MBI-GS (S) proved to be a useful tool for this assessment, our findings also highlight the challenges of achieving measurement invariance in cross-cultural research, underscoring the need for culturally adaptable methodologies.
