Burnout and Psychological Safety: A Questionnaire Study of Medical Students.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Psychological safety-defined as the perception that a group environment is safe for interpersonal risk-taking-could influence the development of burnout among medical students. This study, therefore, sought to investigate the prevalence of burnout, the level of psychological safety, and their association in this population.

Methods

We surveyed undergraduate medical students (n = 944) enrolled in semesters 2 to 10 at a Swedish medical school using a questionnaire containing the Burnout Assessment Tool (BAT-12), Amy Edmondson's Team Psychological Safety Survey, and socio-demographic questions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson's correlation, and hierarchical regression analysis.
