The data was collected using a demographic information questionnaire, a depression, anxiety and stress questionnaire, and a job burnout questionnaire. After collecting the data, it was entered into SPSS 18 and analyzed with descriptive and analytical statistics.

Results: In this study, the results showed that out of 100 participants in the study, 48% were men and the average age of the participants was 29.72 ± 6.22 years.
