Behaviour-based functional and dysfunctional strategies of medical students to cope with burnout.

CONCLUSIONS: The identified behavioural-based functional coping strategies suggest that social support and active relaxing exercises seem to be very important possibilities for medical students to reduce stress and exhaustion. The use of drugs and alcohol for stress reduction raises concerns. Programs are recommended to improve resilient behaviour and to impart the identified functional coping strategies to medical students. PMID: 30371222 [PubMed - in process]
