Burnout and Engagement Within Medical Education: A Repeated Measures Study on Their Evolution and Main Determinants
This study demonstrates how burnout complaints and engagement evolve within learning phases in medical education and identifies key determinants underlying these trajectories. Efforts should prioritize reducing perceived workload and work-home conflict, while strengthening meaningfulness and learning opportunities. In addition, acknowledging individual personality traits may help tailor interventions.
