Abstract

PURPOSE: The purpose of this investigation was to develop, describe, and evaluate burnout curricula using meditation as a burnout reduction strategy. METHOD: The Maslach Burnout Inventory was the survey method used to assess PA student’s levels of burnout after completing developed burnout curricula. RESULTS: The results showed no relationship between burnout curricula completion and rates of student burnout. However, the findings showed burnout differences across the three cohorts of student classes. CONCLUSION: While limited by only the three cohorts of students, the study affirmed the need for faculty to stay attuned to aspects of student burnout.
