Abstract

This article aims to investigate effective interventions to reduce burnout in health education students. A comprehensive electronic literature search of PubMed and Google Scholar identified articles discussing the prevalence and effects of burnout in health care providers and students, as well as interventions to reduce burnout and improve the quality of life of health education students. The findings suggest pass-fail grading, physical exercise, mindfulness training, and mental health programming significantly reduce burnout among health education students. Significant variability in both intervention design and outcome measurement highlights the limitations of the findings and underscores the need for future research. Effective burnout prevention in medical students may positively impact the health care workforce, improving patient outcomes and workforce stability.
