Introduction: The challenges in students' life can provide sources of stress and excessive anxiety for them, which often leads to academic burnout, health problems, poor performance, dropping out of school, and even suicide. Considering the effects of anxiety and burnout in different aspects of life, it is important to investigate and reduce these factors. Moral intelligence is one of the factors that can help in proper adaptation and sustainability of students' social life in the long term. Therefore, this study was endeavored to investigate the relationship between moral intelligence and academic burnout and state/trait anxiety.
Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted with the 670 students of different fields of medical sciences in Bushehr who were included using the complete enumeration method. Data were collected using four questionnaires of demographic characteristics, modified Maslach academic burnout, Spiel Berger State/Trate anxiety, and Kiel & Lennick moral intelligence.
Results: The findings indicated that moral intelligence has an inverse and significant relationship with the level of academic burnout and the level of overt/hidden anxiety (P<0.001). Besides, a direct and significant relationship was observed between academic burnout and the level of state/trait anxiety (P<0.001).
Conclusion: Based on the findings moral intelligence can act as a protective factor against academic burnout and state/trait anxiety during academic life. Therefore, the attention of higher education authorities to develop the moral intelligence of students can help improve their mental health and academic performance.
