Abstract

The present study aims to estimate the prevalence of Burnout and use of tobacco, alcohol, psychoactive drugs, antidepressants, anxiolytics and methylphenidate in students from the first to the twelfth period of the Faculty of Medicine of Valencia in the year 2017. A literature review of the last five years shows that the rates of Burnout and use of psychoactive substances are higher in medical students than in the general population. A cross-sectional study was carried out, with convenience sample (320 students). The instruments used were: a demographic questionnaire, MBI-SS (Maslach Burnout Inventory - student survey), ASSIST (Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test), WHOQOLbref (World Health Organization Quality of Life) we obtained that 58.7% (n = 192 CI = 53.3% - 63.9%) of the students presented scores compatible with Burnout, resulting from high scores for exhaustion and disbelief and low for professional efficacy. In relation to substance use, we related a need for brief intervention and presence of burnout, evidenced in the alcohol categories (n = 23% = 7.03 Burnout / n = 7.29 (14) 95% CI = 04.70 - 10.38), tobacco (n = 12 (N = 5% = 1.53 Burnout (% / n) = 2.60 (5) 95% CI = 00.63 - 3.63) (n = 2% = 0.61 Burnout (% / n) = 0.52 (1) 95% CI 0.0015 - 2.42) and hypnotics (n = 1% = 0.31 Burnout (% / n) = 0.52 00.04 - 02.31). Our findings point to the need to investigate the causes of the high prevalence of substance abuse and substance abuse found in order to propose preventive measures and / or offer psychological support to students, providing better medical training.
