Psychological stress and burnout in medical students: a five-year prospective longitudinal study

The occurrence and distribution of burnout among infectious diseases physicians.
TLDR
The high percentage of infectious diseases physicians experiencing burnout suggests the need for further research to establish trends, to determine if other types of physicians experience similar levels of burnout, to identify casual factors, and to develop avenues to reduce stress and facilitate coping.
Stress, coping, and well‐being among third‐year medical students
TLDR

Although personality factors were more predictive than demographic and situational variables of the variability in burnout among residents in the sample, the variables shared across the sample--long hours, little time for leisure activities and social contact, and compulsive personality characteristics--may contribute to the moderate level of burnout shared by these residents.
