Abstract
Objective: To describe the prevalence of burnout and its dimensions in undergraduate dental students, through a systematic review of the literature.
Methods: A biomedical search was carried out in the PubMed database regarding the prevalence of burnout and its dimensions in undergraduate dental students, measured with MBI-HSS and MBI-SS questionnaires, in English between 2002 and 2019. The studies were independently selected by two investigators according to eligibility criteria. Study bias analysis and a qualitative review of the included articles was performed.
Results: 11 articles were included. There is great variability in the prevalence’s reported by the reviewed articles, ranging between 7% and 41.3% in studies with the MBI-SS questionnaire, and between 25.6% and 50.9% in those that used the MBI questionnaire. -HSS.
Conclusion: All the studies indicate that the presence of burnout during undergraduate dentistry training is a problem that must be addressed and that to reduce its frequency it is necessary to make improvements in undergraduate training in dentistry.
