Adverse childhood experiences and academic burnout among Chinese traditional medicine students: the serial mediating role of rumination, self-control, and resilience
To examine the association between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and academic burnout among medical students, and to explore the mediating effects of rumination, self-control, and resilience.
Approach:
Study Design: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 1,889 medical students from Heilongjiang University of Chinese Medicine.
Measures: Measures included ACEs, academic burnout, rumination, self-control, and resilience.
Analyses: Pearson correlation analysis and serial mediation analyses were performed, along with sensitivity and supplementary analyses.
Key Findings:
ACEs were positively associated with academic burnout (β = 0.187, p < 0.001).
Rumination, self-control, and resilience were statistically linked to the ACEs-burnout association through significant indirect pathways.
After including the mediators, the direct association between ACEs and academic burnout was no longer significant.
Interpretation:
Causal relationships cannot be established due to the cross-sectional design.
Limitations:
The study's cross-sectional design limits the ability to establish causal ordering.
Further longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the temporal sequence of the psychological processes involved.
Conclusion:
Understanding the mediating effects of psychological factors in the relationship between ACEs and academic burnout among medical students is important.
Recent CDC advisories, testing updates, and immunization recommendations highlight developments in infectious diseases, immunization, and diagnostic testing relevant to physicians across multiple specialties.
Creatine's ATP-buffering trick isn't just for biceps. In mice, it juices up dendritic cells' energy supply, sharpening T-cell priming and shrinking tumors on daily injections. Human DCs got the memo too, at least in a dish. Early days, but a fun plot twist for gym-bag chemistry.
