Abstract	Context: Burnout is a psychological syndrome consisting of increased emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and decreased personal accomplishment (PA). To date, examinations of burnout among athletic training students (ATS) is limited. Objective: To determine prevalence and antecedents of burnout among ATS. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Web-based survey. Patients or Other Participants: Students enrolled in athletic training programs (ATP). Intervention(s): A survey assessed demographics, stressors, and burnout measured by the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Human Services Survey. Main Outcome Measure(s): Multiple regression analyses were used to determine relationships between variables. Results: A total of 725 students participated. Most respondents were undergraduates (n = 582, 80%), female (n = 518, 71%), Caucasian (n = 564, 78%), and single (n = 422, 58%). Mean burnout scores for EE, DP, and PA were 33 ± 10, 17 ± 4.5, and 39 ± 5.8, respectively. Survey responses showed that 70.8% of undergraduate and 62.9% of graduate students reported high EE. All the students (100%) in both samples reported high DP. Undergraduates pursuing internships or residencies (b = -7.69, P < 0.001) and who were currently enrolled in non-Division I institutions (b = -2.90, P < 0.01) had decreased EE. Increased stress revealed increased EE (overall stress: b = 3.11, P < 0.001; social stress: b = 1.32, P < 0.05; class stress: b = 1.45, P < 0.05). Increases in clinical hours also related to increased EE (b = 1.49, P < 0.001). Those pursuing internships or residencies (b = -2.10, P < 0.05) and who were female (b = -2.10, P < 0.05) reported decreased DP. Being married (b = 2.87, P < 0.01), increased clinical hours (b = 0.77, P < 0.001), and social stress (b = 0.59, P < 0.05) resulted in increased DP. Increased PA was seen in students intending to pursue graduate education (b = 1.76, P < 0.05) and female students (b = 1.17, P < 0.05). Graduate students' stress levels revealed increased EE (b = 6.57, P < 0.01) and DP (b = 0.98, P < 0.05). Conclusions: Differences exist between undergraduate and graduate burnout scores and associated predictors. Further research is needed to identify student responses to burnout. (As Provided).
