Abstract

Introduction: The quality of the learning environment affects students’ learning, and specific characteristics of the learning environment affects medical students’ burnout. The aim of this study was to determine dental students’ viewpoints on the learning environment in dental schools and its relationship with academic burnout.

Materials and methods: In this cross-sectional study, we investigated undergraduate dental students from Isfahan University of Medical Sciences and Islamic Azad University of Isfahan applying a convenient sampling method in 2021. Data were collected through social networking platforms such as WhatsApp and Telegram, using the "Burnout Clinical Subtype Questionnaire" and the "Dental School Learning Environment Survey". Man-Whitney U test, Kruskal-Wallis test, Spearman correlation coefficient, and a linear regression model served for analysis (p value < 0.05).

Results: Among 300 dental students with a mean age of 24.25 ± 2.72, 54.7% were women. The mean score for the dental school learning environment was 2.92 ± 0.30 out of a maximum score of 5. The highest score was belonged to the dimension of organizing educational program (3.13 ± 0.45). The mean score of academic burnout was 2.61 ± 0.66 of the maximum score of 5. The highest score belonged to the dimension of overload (3.34 ± 0.87). A reverse association revealed between the dental school learning environment and academic burnout (r = -0.2, p value < 0.001).

Conclusion: Dental students in Isfahan reported the quality of their dental school learning environment as well as their academic burnout as average. Regarding the reverse association between the learning environment and academic burnout, it is suggested to plan interventions aimed at improving the dental school learning environment and reducing the academic burnout.
