About this study
Official title: TRIGGERING AND PROTECTIVE FACTORS OF BURNOUT IN MEDICAL RESIDENT PHYSICIANS IN A LOWER-MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRY: A CROSS-SECTIONAL STUDY
Residents and interns are prone to emotional and physical exhaustion, also known as burnout. Burnout has not been studied much in physicians working in lower-middle income countries. We conducted this cross-sectional study at two institutes to determine the burden of burnout among internal medicine residents and to identify triggering and protective factors associated with burnout. An abbreviated version of the Maslach Burnout scale was used to measure burnout, and protective and triggering factors were recorded according to known factors.
