Association between learning styles and burnout among medical students: A study at Alfaisal University

The avoidant learning style is an independent risk factor for burnout in undergraduate medical students, while collaborative and participant styles are protective. The findings emphasize the importance of early screening for avoidant characteristics and using adaptable teaching techniques that promote engagement and teamwork to mitigate high-risk learning behaviors and reduce burnout rates. Future work could investigate the mechanisms underlying this relationship and the roles of other variables, such as social support and personality traits.

Abstract

The avoidant learning style is an independent risk factor for burnout in undergraduate medical students, while collaborative and participant styles are protective. The findings emphasize the importance of early screening for avoidant characteristics and using adaptable teaching techniques that promote engagement and teamwork to mitigate high-risk learning behaviors and reduce burnout rates. Future work could investigate the mechanisms underlying this relationship and the roles of other variables, such as social support and personality traits.
