To evaluate burnout syndrome, the Maslach
Burnout InventoryTM - Student Survey (MBI-SS)
was used, a self-administered questionnaire consisting
of 15 items, which evaluated three conceptual
dimensions on a Likert-type scale (0-6):
emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and academic
effectiveness. It is considered indicative of
burnout syndrome when a person has both high
scores in emotional exhaustion and depersonalization,
and low scores in academic effectiveness,
according to the cutoff points determined by the
authors
