3 The MBI has three versions: Human Services survey (MBI-HSS), General survey (MBI-GS) and General survey for student (MBI-GS(S)) and Educators survey (MBI-ES).

2 The Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) is a self-assessment questionnaire that was introduced in 1981 3 and is the gold standard for measuring burnout.

Lack of professional efficacy is a feeling of self-incompetence, lack of reducibility or lack of job achievement. Depersonalisation represents the interpersonal context component that refers to a negative, hard-hearted or excessively detached response to various aspects of the job. Emotional exhaustion is one of the responses of stress when people feel overwhelmed by job demands but lack emotional or physical resources to cope with these demands. Further studies on other associated factors contributing to depression are suggested.īurnout, as defined by Maslach 1, includes three key subscales, namely, high emotional exhaustion, high depersonalisation and lack of professional efficacy, which relates to the critical social environment in the health care setting. Burnout was associated with risk for depression. The screening depression score had a significant, modest positive association with emotional exhaustion (r=0.469, df=4, p<0.001) and cynicism (r=0.411, df=4, p< 0.001), and a weak inverse association with professional efficacy (r=−0.273, df=4, p< 0.001).Ĭonclusions: The Thai version of the MBI-SS had adequate psychometric properties among Thai medical students and can be used to assess burnout among undergraduate medical students in Thailand. Burnout had a weak, positive association with the PHQ-9 (r=0.294, df=2, p< 0.001). Results: Interrater reliability was acceptable with Kappa of 0.83. Spearman and Kendall’s tau-b were used to identify correlations between burnout, depression and other factors. A confirmatory factor analysis was performed using as fit indices of the chi-square and degree of freedom ratio (χ 2/df), Comparative Fit Index (CFI), the Goodness of Fit Index (GFI), the Non-normed Fit Index (NNFI), Akaike information criterion (AIC) and the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA).

The MBI-SS was translated in Thai and tested for internal consistency using Cronbach’s coefficient alpha. Data were collected by a self-report survey. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among undergraduate medical students using convenience sampling (n=545, 76.1% response rate, female 52.1%). Objectives: To examine the psychometric properties of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) Thai version and to determine the frequency of burnout and correlation between burnout and associated factors.
