Academic burnout and its related factors among dental students in southeast Iran: a cross-sectional study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND
aimAcademic burnout in students manifests as emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a sense of stagnation in their education. Given the high prevalence of occupational burnout among dental students, screening dental students for early signs of burnout can facilitate intervention and prevent negative effects on their physical and mental well-being. METHODS AND MATERIALS: This cross-sectional study included 180 clinical dentistry students in their third year and above at Kerman Dental Faculty during the academic year 2022-2023. A questionnaire comprising demographic information and the 12-item Persian version of the Burnout Clinical Subtype Questionnaire (BCSQ-12-SS) was utilized. Students' responses were scored on a five-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26, employing T-tests, ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and linear regression tests, with a significance level set at 0.05.
resultsOf the participants, 52.1% were female, and 47.9% were male, with an average age of 23.35 years. The response rate was 66.66%, with 120 completed questionnaires analyzed. High scores were observed in 4.2% for academic burnout, 23.3% for overload, 13.4% for lack of development, and 4.2% for neglect. No significant associations were found between academic burnout and gender, marital status, economic status, place of residence, or choice of major. However, factors such as family influence, high income, and social image as reasons for choosing dentistry were significantly associated with participants' total academic burnout scores.
conclusionDespite the low overall prevalence of burnout in this sample, understanding the factors influencing academic burnout is crucial for prevention due to its significant impact on students' academic performance and psychological well-being.
