The study revealed the following results: the level of psychological Burnout was medium and the first dimension (feeling of lack of achievement and performance) came in the first rank with a medium level of Burnout, followed by the second dimension (effective exertion) which came second with a medium level of Burnout.

The third dimension (feeling of dullness towards other people) came in the third and last with a low level of Burnout.

There was rot a statistically significant difference at all dimensions of the scale that could be attributed to the variables of sex and experience.
