Background: The ‘‘evaluation of occupational burnout syndrome questionnaire’’ (‘‘Cuestionario para la evaluación del síndrome de quemarse por el trabajo (CESQT)’’) has been proposed to evaluate this syndrome in different populations. However, there have not been studies up to date that have tested this questionnaire in Latin-American university students. Aim: To evaluate the dimensional structure of CESQT in medical students from Peru. Methods: This was an observational, analytical and cross-sectional study. The CESQT was applied to a sample of 71 medical students in the final year of their degree (also known as ‘‘Medical Internship’’) in a Public Hospital in Lima, Peru. An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to identify the dimension structure with best fit to the data. A multivariate linear regression analysis was also performed to determine the relationship between the occupational burnout syndrome, gender, and their current clinical rotation (obstetrics and gynaecology, surgery, paediatrics, and internal medicine). Results: The EFA found that the two dimensions model best explained the data variability (61.8% of the variance). These two factors were called illusion and exhaustion. The linear regression showed that gender and the current clinical rotation were not associated to any of the two factors (P > .05). Illusion was inversely associated with exhaustion, even after fitting it with gender and current clinical rotation (P = .007and = −.33, respectively).
