Non-linear associations between academic burnout and psychological distress and context-dependent effect modification by resilience among medical students: a multicentre cross-sectional study

This multicentre cross-sectional study of 3,414 medical students reveals that specific dimensions of academic burnout, particularly cynicism and emotional exhaustion, exhibit non-linear and dimension-specific associations with psychological distress that are contextually modified by resilience, suggesting that targeted assessments of burnout subtypes offer more valuable insights than overall scores for understanding student mental health.
