Abstract
This correlational study was carried out to evaluate the relationship between
emotional regulation, mindfulness and burnout in MBBS students who are in final
year. A sample of 150 final year medical students calculated through G-Power
Analysis was taken. This study was conducted on both male and female medical
students, studying in their final year of MBBS. The data was gathered from
government and private medical universities of Lahore city through purposive
sampling. The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire ERQ (Gross & John, 2003),
The Mindful Attention Awareness Scale MAAS (Brown & Ryan, 2003), and The
Oldenburg burnout inventory scale (Demerouti et al, 2010) were administered. For
data analysis, we used the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The
reliability analysis of measuring instruments was analyzed that are used in the
research. Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to look at the
relationship between medical student burnout, mindfulness, and emotional
control. Male and female differences were determined using the independent T
test. Additionally, multiple hierarchical linear regression was used to determine
the factors that predict burnout in medical students. The questionnaires were
filled by participants in-person from different medical universities. Participants
were given an information sheet, consent form and demographic sheet along with
questionnaires. According to study, around 40.7% were male and 59.3% were
female. Most of the participants i.e 90% were single. Internal consistency of the
scales were checked by seeing values of cronbach alpha of the subscales of three
scales. The aim of the current study was to examinethe relationship between
emotional regulation and mindfulness on medical students' level of burnout.
