Abstract

Background: Medical school involves high expectations of medical students, which may increase their risk for burnout. Physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB) are modifiable risk factors for burnout. However, medical students are insufficiently taught about PA and SB and may therefore be less likely to meet guideline-recommended levels of these two movement behaviours or promote them in practice. Few studies have examined the relationships between medical students' PA intensity, SB, and burnout; such examination could help clarify educational needs for improving levels of movement behaviours and their promotion.

Purpose: This study investigated (1) the relationships between light, moderate, vigorous, and total PA, SB, and burnout among medical students, and (2) moderate-to-vigorous PA as a moderator of the relationship between SB and burnout, to guide future curriculum renewal.

Methods: Medical students (N = 129) at two Canadian institutions completed online validated questionnaires assessing light, moderate, vigorous, and total PA, SB, and burnout.

Results: Regression analyses indicated that light PA (β = -.191, p = .039) and SB (β=-.230, p = .013) were negatively associated with burnout. Moderate-to-vigorous PA did not significantly moderate the relationship between SB and burnout.

Conclusions: Engaging in lighter forms of PA and SB within guideline recommendations may help mitigate medical student burnout. Competencies to promote movement behaviours may dually target medical student burnout and curriculum gaps.

体育活动强度和久坐行为与医学生的职业倦怠有关吗?来自加拿大两所医学院的启示。
背景:医学院对医学生的期望很高,这可能会增加他们产生职业倦怠的风险。体力活动(PA)和久坐行为(SB)是倦怠的可调节风险因素。然而,医学生对体力活动和久坐行为的了解不足,因此不太可能达到指南推荐的这两种运动行为水平,或在实践中加以推广。目的:本研究调查了(1)医学生中轻度、中度、剧烈和总PA、SB与职业倦怠之间的关系;(2)中度至剧烈PA作为SB与职业倦怠之间关系的调节因素,以指导未来的课程更新:方法:加拿大两所院校的医科学生(N = 129)完成了在线验证问卷,评估轻度、中度、剧烈和总PA、SB和职业倦怠:回归分析表明,轻度 PA(β=-.191,p=.039)和 SB(β=-.230,p=.013)与职业倦怠呈负相关。中度到剧烈的体育锻炼并没有明显缓和SB与职业倦怠之间的关系:结论:在指南建议的范围内进行较轻度的体力活动和体育锻炼可能有助于减轻医学生的职业倦怠。促进运动行为的能力可同时针对医学生的职业倦怠和课程差距。
