摘要

Introduction

The COVID-19 pandemic presented unprecedented challenges not only to the healthcare system, but also to the medical education curricula. Institutions implemented policies regarding educational experiences for medical students in observance of the ever-changing pandemic and quarantine requirements. Additionally, medical students experienced significant stressors related to the pandemic that tested their resilience, which is the ability to bounce back when faced with adversity.

Method

This cross-sectional study explored the independent relationship of pandemic-related stress and educational experience with burnout and compassion satisfaction. In addition, it also investigated the relationship of both actions-related resilience and beliefs-related resilience on burnout and compassion satisfaction. Study participants were students (N = 145) enrolled in a mid-western medical school during the academic year of 2020 and 2021. STATA/SE version18 was used to conduct descriptive and multivariable linear regression model statistics.

Results

Results showed that among medical students, pandemic-related stress was a significant predictor of burnout (b = 0.31; SE = 0.05; p < 0.001), while a good educational experience was protective (b =  − 0.28; SE = 0.05; p < 0.001). However, resilience had no significant association with burnout. A positive educational experience was also significantly associated with higher levels of compassion satisfaction (b = 0.34; SE; p < 0.001) among the medical students. Total resilience (b = 0.44; p < 0.05) and actions-related resilience (b = 0.69; p < 0.05) independently showed a significant association with compassion satisfaction.

Conclusion

Multi-dimensional interventions, including individual-level and institutional-level support, benefit individual health professionals but can also contribute to a more resilient and sustainable healthcare system capable to meeting the demands of any critical health crisis.
