The relationships between academic resilience and burnout for medical college students in ESP study / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To probe the conditions of medical students' academic resilience and burnout and their relationship with each other,the paper aims to account for the reform of medical ESP teaching.Methods Revised versions of academic resilience scale and burnout Sscale were used to test 675 medical students and SPSS 16.0 was adopted to analyze the data by statistical description,t-test,F-test,correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis.Results 1) The general average score of academic resilience for medical ESP study was (2.67 ± 0.63),lower than the theoretical mean.A statistically significant difference was observed in gender (t=3.21,P＜0.05),and LSD test showed nursing majors＞pharmacy majors＞clinical majors (F--4.15,P＜0.05).2) The general average score of burnout was (3.33 ± 0.73),higher than the theoretical mean.A statistically significant difference was observed in gender (t=-4.40,P＜0.01).LSD test showd clinical majors＞pharmacy majors＞nursing majors (F=4.05,P＜0.05).3) There is a significant negative correlation between academic resilience,academic burnout and its factors.The academic resilience and the factors (self-efficacy,academic persistence,self-acceptance,perceiving support and society support) can predict the burnout in the negative way (F=21.85,P＜0.01).Conclusions Medical students have lower level of academic resilience and higher burnout in ESP study.The medical ESP teaching should set out from the students'need,pay attention to classified and level-based cultivation to improve academic resilience while reducing burnout by enhancing self-efficacy and persistence as well as positively seeking the support of the society.
