| Resumo: | The aim of this study was to verify the prevalence of Burnout Syndrome (BS) among medical students and its association with levels of emotional regulation. This cross-sectional, descriptive, and quantitative study was carried out with 176 medical students from three universities in Bahia, who were assessed using an online questionnaire with socio-demographic questions and self-response scales to investigate Burnout Syndrome and emotional regulation strategies, both validated for Portuguese. The sample was characterized by young people aged between 17 and 30, mostly women, living away from their families. The prevalence of BS was 10.8%, with 1 in 5 students showing high levels of emotional exhaustion and 64% of them needing psychiatric or psychological care after graduating. There was a positive correlation between Burnout rates and maladaptive strategies. The results call for preventive institutional measures and specialized attention for students. |
