Abstract:
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between academic burnout and academic self-efficacy in medical students. METHODS: The study group comprised 446 students in years 1 to 4 of medical school. They were asked to rate their academic burnout and academic self-efficacy on a scale. The data were analyzed by multivariate analysis of variance and regression analysis. RESULTS: Academic self-efficacy was correlated negatively with academic burnout explaining 37% of academic burnout. CONCLUSION: Academic self-efficacy (especially self-confidence) had the greatest effect on academic burnout. The implications of these results are discussed in terms of an evaluation and support system for students.
