Academic Burnout, Personality, and Academic Variables in University Students.

This study examines academic burnout syndrome and its relation to personal and academic variables among university students in nursing and early childhood education programs in Spain. A total of 606 university students (primary education: 49.7%; nursing: 49.7%) of both sexes (71.5% female) with an average age of 20.68 years (SD = 1.65) participated. An ex post facto retrospective single-group design was planned. The instruments used were the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) and the NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI). Nursing students, who reported more study hours, less sleep, and lower grades, had higher academic burnout scores. Linear regression models were proposed to analyze the relationship between academic burnout, personality, and sociodemographic variables. Nursing students scored higher in emotional exhaustion and lower in cynicism, and they scored higher in neuroticism and openness. Furthermore, 16.1% of the variance in academic burnout was explained by personality variables as well as the degree studied, course year, and study hours. These findings suggest the importance of considering both academic and personality variables in understanding academic burnout in university students.

Perbedaan Tingkat Academic Burnout pada Siswa Ditinjau dari Jenis Sekolah SMA/SMK/MA

The condition of exhaustion experienced by students as a result of excessive pressure to meet academic demands at school is also known as academic burnout. Burnout in students can lead to an increased risk of depression and decreased academic performance. The different operational curriculum used by each type of school results in students experiencing different academic demands. This study aims to see differences in the level of academic burnout among students in terms of the type of school, SMA / SMK / MA. The research method used is quantitative with a comparative causal approach. The subjects of this study were high school students in West Sumatra. The total subjects in this study were 165 people. The level of students' academic burnout was measured using the academic burnout scale adapted from Maharani (2019). The scale was adapted from a measurement tool developed by Schaufeli et al. (2002), MBI-SS (Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey). The results showed that there was no significant difference in the level of academic burnout among students in terms of school type. However, the average score of MA students is higher than that of SMA and SMK students.

IJCM_336A: Academic burnout and coping: A questionnaire based cross-sectional study among undergraduate students of a medical college in western Uttar Pradesh

Background: Academic burnout is a significant concern in undergraduate medical students due to the demanding nature of their coursework, clinical responsibilities, and the pressure to excel in their studies. Medical students, in particular, are believed to be more stressed and burnt out than their non-medical peers. Academic burnout can affect medical students academic performance and psychological well-being. Coping strategies are essential for students to manage stress and attempts are being made to control and mitigate the same. Objective: 1) To assess the prevalence of academic burnout among undergraduate medical students; 2) To find out coping mechanisms adopted by the students. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional anonymous survey, medical students were recruited from four professional MBBS groups. Based on prevailing prevalence of burnout (16.84%), sample size calculation was done, which came out to be 216; which was rounded off to 220. The 220 completed questionnaires were collected and included in analysis. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) and Brief COPE questionnaire were used. Sociodemographic profile was assessed by semi-structured proforma. Results: High emotional exhaustion was present in nearly 35% of the students while low professional efficacy over 65% of them reported. However, majority of them practiced active coping. The data is still being analysed for final findings. Conclusion: As concluded, majority of the students reported high academic burnout and low professional efficacy. For coping, most of them adapted active coping while substance use was less commonly used.

Translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the MBI-SS questionnaire for Chinese art students

The 16-item Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) was translated into simplified Chinese (MBI-SS-C) and tested for reliability and validity among Chinese art college students. A sample of 437 students from a Beijing art college was analyzed. The MBI-SS-C with 16 items shows relatively poor psychological measurement characteristics for items 2 and 7. The remaining 14 items showed good validity and reliability after being removed. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the structural validity of the 14-item MBI-SS-C. The Cronbach alpha for the MBI-SS-C was 0.854, with the three subscales having Cronbach alpha of 0.898, 0.890 and 0.902. The 14-item MBI-SS-C has a moderate correlation with general self-efficacy (GSE) and high concurrent validity. The 14-item MBI-SS-C is a reliable tool for evaluating burnout in Chinese art college students and is simple and effective.

Burnout and depression in college students

Research on burnout has garnered considerable attention since its inception. However, the ongoing debate persists regarding the conceptual model of burnout and its relationship with depression. Thus, we conducted a network analysis to determine the dimensional structure of burnout and the burnout-depression overlap. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 were used to measure burnout and depression among 1096 college students. We constructed networks for burnout, depression, and a burnout-depression co-occurrence network. The results showed that cynicism symptom was the most central to the burnout network. In the co-occurrence network, depressive symptoms (“anhedonia”, “fatigue”) and burnout symptom (“doubting the significance of studies”) were the most significant in causing burnout-depression comorbidity. Community detection revealed three communities within burnout symptoms, aligning closely with their three dimensions identified through factor analysis. Additionally, there was no overlap between burnout and depression. In conclusion, our findings support a multidimensional structure of burnout, affirming it as a distinct concept separate from depression. Cynicism, rather than exhaustion, plays the most important role in burnout and the burnout-depression comorbidity.

Assessing the role of mentors in mitigating burnout and enhancing professional development in medical education.

To assess the correlation between mentor behaviours and medical student burnout and their professional development within medical education. A cross-sectional study using convenience sampling was conducted among third-, fifth-, and sixth-year medical students (N=307). Participants voluntarily completed anonymous online questionnaires measuring the Mentor Behavior Scale, the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey, and the Professional Self-Identity Questionnaire. Multivariate regression analysis was performed to analyse relationships between student burnout, mentor behaviours and their impact on professional development. Among participants, 26% (N=80) experienced burnout, which was significantly associated with lower competency support (OR = 2.0, 95% CI: 1.1-3.5, p = 0.016), medication use (OR = 2.1, 95% CI: 1.1-4.0, p = 0.029), and a lower Grade Point Average (OR = 3.3, 95% CI: 1.6-6.9, p = 0.001) compared to non-burnout students. In the development of professional identity, a high level of mentor relationship structure had statistically significant associations with higher scores in key domains of the Professional Self-Identity Questionnaire, including teamwork (OR = 3.9, 95% CI: 1.5-9.9, p < 0.01), communication (OR = 3.4, 95% CI: 1.5-7.7, p < 0.01), ethical awareness (OR = 3.3, 95% CI: 1.4-8.0, p < 0.01), and record use (OR = 2.8, 95% CI: 1.2-6.5, p < 0.05). The impact of mentor behaviours on medical students is evident. Enhancing mentorship by addressing specific mentor behaviours can improve programme quality. Future research should explore the long-term effects and strategies for effectively implementing targeted enhancements in mentor behaviours.

How physical exercise influences academic burnout among Chinese "Double Non" college students: the chain mediation role of mobile phone addiction and learning engagement.

With mental anxiety caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the trend of "lying down" has become increasingly prevalent among Chinese college students such as not thinking ahead, decadent abandonment, and being weak daily. Particularly, Chinese "Double Non" college students are more likely to face academic burnout (AB) due to lower school satisfaction and after-degree employment ratio, in comparison to "Double First-Class" college students. In view of this, the present study examined the structural relationships of physical exercise (PE), mobile phone addiction (MPA), learning engagement (LE), and AB among Chinese "Double Non" college students, aiming at exploring corresponding mechanism to provide supportive guidance for alleviating potential AB. This study adopted a cross-sectional survey approach among the sample of "Double Non" college students in China. We recruited 930 participants (272 men and 658 women) in the second half of the 2022-2023 academic year, all of whom completed questionnaires involving Physical Exercise Rating Scale, Mobile Phone Dependence Index Scale, Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-Student, and Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey. A series of statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations, and direct and indirect effects among study variables, were proceeded based on the collected data. The results showed that PE can not only directly and negatively influence AB, but also indirectly and negatively influence AB through the mediation of MPA as well as the chain mediation of both MPA and LE. While PE had no significantly indirect effect on AB via LE. Physical exercise was proved to be an effective way to reduce MPA and then enhance LE, consequently leading to decreased AB in Chinese "Double Non" college students. The findings were discussed in light of related research, and implications and future directions were put forward for application in potential theoretical research and educational practice.

High risk of burnout syndrome and associated factors in medical students: A cross-sectional analytical study.

Although research on burnout syndrome in medical students has increased in recent years, results are inconsistent about which factors are associated with a high risk for burnout syndrome. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of high risk of burnout syndrome and to identify factors associated with burnout in medical students in preclinical and clinical training. A cross-sectional study was conducted at the University of Kragujevac, Serbia. The Maslach Burnout Inventory Student Survey and an epidemiological questionnaire on basic socio-demographic and academic characteristics were used. Statistical evaluation was performed through logistic regression analysis, using Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% Confidence Interval (CI). Among medical students, no statistically significant differences were found in the prevalence of high risk of burnout syndrome in preclinical (14.8%) and clinical grade (15.1%), p > 0.05. High risk for burnout syndrome in preclinical study years was independently associated with the female sex (adjusted OR = 0.41, 95%CI = 0.19-0.91, p = 0.028), and cigarette smoking (adjusted OR = 2.47, 95%CI = 1.05-5.78, p = 0.038). The high risk of burnout syndrome was associated with sedatives use (adjusted OR = 4.03, 95%CI = 1.27-12.73; p = 0.018) only in clinical years medical students. The frequency of alcohol consumption was correlated with the high risk of burnout syndrome in medical students in both preclinical and clinical training, but without statistical significance (both p for trend < 0.1). There was a significant prevalence of burnout among medical students, with some modifiable associated factors revealed.

Academic Burnout, Stress, and the Role of Resilience in a Sample of Saudi Arabian Medical Students.

Medical school can be difficult and stressful. Academic burnout is described as exhaustion from curricular activities. Medical students are more likely to experience anxiety. This study investigated the level of academic burnout and stress as well as their level of resilience. Saudi medical students were surveyed in a cross-sectional questionnaire-based study. We used the following scales: Perceived Stress Scale, Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey, and the Connor-Davidson Brief Resilience Scale to assess stress, academic burnout, and resilience respectively. The mean score for emotional exhaustion, 20.23 ± 6.8, indicated a high level of burnout among students. The students reported a moderate level of stress. Females, students who were single or lived away from home had higher levels of burnout in certain domains. Students with a higher level of resilience experienced less stress and burnout. Academic burnout has a negative impact on mental health. Effective interventions should be designed to assist students to cope better with stress and also identify solutions to avoid burnout. More research is needed to investigate the social and environmental factors contributing to medical student burnout.

Stress and burnout among first year undergraduate medical students of a private medical college: a cross-sectional study

Background: Stress can be considered as a double-edged sword. Various studies have provided evidence of stress amongst medical students. There have been no studies regarding prevalence of various stress factors among the medical students of the only private medical college in Manipur. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at Shija Academy of Health Sciences, Langol amongst the first MBBS Batch 2022. Convenience sampling method was adopted. medical students stress questionnaire was used for assessing Stress and Maslach burnout inventory-student survey was used for assessing Burnout of the medical students. Results: A total of 148 medical students participated. For stress predictor domains, the academic related stressor was found to have the highest mean score (2.30±0.65). There were statistically significant associations between the social related stressor score with location of home of students and academic related stressor with self-graded academic performance. There was also significant association between group activities related stressor and self-graded academic performance of students. for burnout domains, the employment/occupational exhaustion had the highest mean score (26.54±9.37). Statistically significant associations were found between depersonalization with gender and location of home of students, and occupational exhaustion with self-graded academic performance of students. Conclusions: This study reveals the need for stress management modules development for students with special focus on academic and social related stressors.

20대 취업준비생의 학업소진 잠재프로파일 및 예측변인 탐색

Objectives This study aimed to explore whether the five profiles of job burnout identified in the research by Leiter &amp; Maslach (2016) are also evident in academic burnout. Additionally, the study investigated the cognitive and emotional regulatory coping strategies exhibited by each profile identified in academic burnout, as well as the as-sociations with relevant variables associated with academic burnout.&#x0D; Methods To this end, this study conducted latent profile analysis and multinomial logistic regression on 307 job seekers in their 20s using the R 4.2.2 program with the Maslach Burnout Inventory-student survey (MBI-SS).&#x0D; Results The profiles derived from this study were found to be similar to the five optimal profiles identified in the research by Leiter &amp; Maslach (2016). Each profile exhibited similarities to the profiles identified in Leiter &amp; Maslach's (2016) study. Specifically, in the case of ‘Burnout,’ the profile appeared to adhere more faithfully to the concept of the profile than the research findings of Leiter &amp; Maslach (2016). However, in the case of ‘Disengaged,’ contrary to what Leiter &amp; Maslach (2016) claimed, it showed an increase in both cynicism and exhaustion. Regarding the validated predictors of each latent profile classification, it was found that the group with high aca-demic burnout exhibited higher levels of accommodative coping strategies and lower levels of problem-solving coping strategies in cognitive and emotional regulation strategies. Furthermore, in terms of the associations with academic-related variables, the high academic burnout group displayed lower academic self-efficacy and higher tendencies for academic procrastination, fear of failure, and lack of learning motivation compared to other groups.&#x0D; Conclusions The close association between academic burnout and academic procrastination and academic self-efficacy suggests the need for future research to focus on the causal relationship between these constructs. Furthermore, theoretical and intervention implications for future strategies were discussed.

Physical activity, problematic smartphone use, and burnout among Chinese college students.

The aim of this study was to investigate the association between physical activity (PA), problematic smartphone use (PSU), and burnout, as well as to identify whether there is a mediating role for PSU. We recruited 823 college students (Mage = 18.55, SD = 0.83) from Wuhan, China, in December 2022, including 499 males and 324 females. Demographic information, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Version (SAS-SV), and the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) were used for assessments. Pearson correlation analysis showed that PA was significantly associated with PSU (r = -0.151, p < 0.001), PSU was significantly associated with burnout (r = 0.421, p < 0.001), and the association between PA and burnout was not statistically significant (r = -0.046, p > 0.05). The results of the mediation model test showed that PA could not predict burnout directly; it instead predicted burnout entirely indirectly through PSU. Furthermore, PSU mediated the predictive effect of PA on exhaustion and cynicism. In conclusion, there is no direct connection between PA levels and burnout. PA indirectly affects burnout through PSU, but does not fully apply to the three different dimensions of exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy.

Well-being and Burnout among Pre-clinical Medical Students in a Caribbean Medical School

Evaluate well-being and burnout among preclinical medical students in a Caribbean medical school and identify the associated factors. It was a questionnaire-based, cross-sectional study which was conducted among preclinical medical students of Trinity Medical Sciences University (TMSU), Saint Vincent &amp; the Grenadines. Medical Student Well-Being Index and Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey were used. The total number of participants who gave informed consent was 82. For statisti­cal analyses, internal consistency of the instruments was tested by Cronbach’s alpha. The Student t-test, Fisher’s exact test, Pearson correlation and multivariate regression model were used. The analysis of well-being index(WBI-MS) showed that during the past month 78% of participants experienced burnout due to emotional exhaustion and 61% due to depersonalization, 63.4% felt depression, 19.5% experienced fatigue, 65.9% suffered from stress. The significant association was found between well-being index, credit hours allotted for the semester, and depersonalization/cynicism. Also there was significant negative correlation among academic efficacy and cynicism. The analysis also showed that once a week or more often 58.5 % of participants experienced emotional exhaustion, 34.2% depersonalization and 26.8% low professional efficacy. But the level (severity) of emotional exhaustion was less in comparison with depersonalization score. Our study revealed that 65.9% of participants had a low well-being index and high level of burnout with very increased score of cynicism, which negatively affected their academic efficacy. The possible causes of the obtained results were identified and necessary strategies will be implemented to improve the outcomes.

Student burnout can lead to feelings of helplessness, loss of attention or avoidance of the learning environment, and dropping out of dreams. This condition can occur due to excessive workload or continuous academic demands. This creates stress and negatively impacts mental health. This study aims to determine how social support impacts the academic boredom of undergraduate nursing study program students at Harapan Bangsa University. This study conducted correlation descriptive research using a cross-sectional approach. The total sampling involved 84 students. To measure social support, Interpersonal Support Evaluation List (ISEL) scale questionnaires and academic boredom were used. with the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) questionnaire. For analysis, the Spearman rank test is used. The results showed that students experienced academic burnout. The final level of the Nursing Study Program The Bachelor Program at Harapan Bangsa University is the most dominant with the medium category (67.9%). Social support for final-year students of the Undergraduate Nursing Study Program at Harapan Bangsa University is the most dominant in the medium category (65.5%). The conclusion is that there is a relationship with p value 0.009 (p &lt; 0.05), the level of academic fatigue of Nursing students of the Undergraduate Program of Universitas Harapan Bangsa.

Burnout syndrome and depression in students of a Colombian medical school, 2018

Introduction and objectivesBurnout syndrome (BS) has been evaluated in few populations of medical students, and its relationship with depression is even less studied. The objective was to determine the frequency of BS in medical students of the Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia (UPTC), in Tunja, Colombia, as well as its association with depression and other social, economic, demographic, and academic factors. MethodsAn observational, analytical, cross-sectional study was carried out on 182 UPTC medical students during 2018. The Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) was applied, with which 3 components were obtained to determine positive SB. This was crossed in the Stata 15 program for depression and other social, economic, demographic, and academic covariates with the Generalised Linear Model (GLM). ResultsOf 182 respondents, 51.4% were women. The median age was 21 years (20−23 years). 14% had BS, of which 48% had depression. In the multiple regression, BS was significantly associated with a higher frequency of depression (RPa = 5.54; IC95%, 2.36−13.02; P < 0.001) and the feeling of insufficient money (RPa = 4.37; IC95%, 1.95−9.83; P < 0.001), in contrast to a negative association with smoking (RPa = 0.13; IC95%, 0.06−0.30; P < 0.001) and being a woman (RPa = 0.32; IC95%, 0.12−0.82; P = 0.018). The age of onset of marijuana use was not significant. ConclusionsBS shows a high association with increased depression and a feeling that the money is not enough at the end of the month, but it showed a negative association with tobacco consumption and being a woman. Such students should be detected to provide them with adequate academic support

Burnout among medical students of a medical university in Vietnam: A cross-sectional study

ABSTRACT Background Academic burnout is a concern among students. The research aimed to depict the current situation and examine several factors associated with academic burnout among students of Hanoi Medical University in 2023. Methods A cross sectional study was carried out on a sample of 300 randomly selected students from Hanoi Medical University. The study employed demographic questionnaires and the Maslach Burnout Inventory Student Survey (MBI-SS) to assess the level of burnout. Statistical analyses, including descriptive statistics and regression analysis, were performed to evaluate burnout-related factors. Results The study findings revealed that the overall prevalence of burnout was 16.33%. Factors associated with burnout syndrome included being female (OR = 0.42, 95% CI 0.19 −0.93) with a lower level of burnout than males, fourth-year students (OR = 0.06, 95% CI 0.01 −0.72) had a lower level of burnout compared to other academic years, and students pursuing pre-clinical courses (OR = 4.07, 95% CI 1.17 −14.29) had a higher level of burnout. Conclusion The study findings highlight that academic burnout is a noteworthy issue among students. Examining burnout-related factors, including gender, academic year, and field of study, can assist universities in developing specific interventions to support students in managing burnout and enhancing the quality of education.

Differential influence of basic psychological needs on burnout and academic achievement in three southeast European countries.

Several studies show the importance of basic psychological needs (BPN) for decreasing burnout and increasing grade point average (GPA), but, to our knowledge, no prior study has explored the potential contextual differences in Southeastern European countries. Moreover, even less is known about how this relationship may differ during stressful (exam) and less stressful (beginning of the semester) periods. Measures of the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey and BPN Satisfaction and Frustration Scale were translated and adapted. The study included a cross-sectional sample of students from Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia during beginning of the semester and exam period. Across all countries and both contexts, students with high autonomy need satisfaction showed the strongest decrease in burnout, followed by those with high competence need satisfaction. Students with high academic achievement showed an increase due to competence need satisfaction. Competence and autonomy need satisfaction were higher beginning of a semester, while burnout was higher during the exam period. BPN play an important role in educational settings-satisfaction of the need for autonomy and competence protects students from burnout, and the need for competence predicts greater academic achievement regardless of culture or time of the semester.

Exploring the Effect of Emotional Intelligence on Burnout among College Students in Pakistan

This study investigated the relationship between emotional intelligence and student burnout. For this purpose, quantitative research design was employed. The study included a sample of intermediate students of colleges in the Gujranwala district. The sample included 250 students from different classes, i.e., Biology, Mathematics, and Computer Science. Trait Emotional Intelligence scale (TEIQue) by K.V. Petrides and Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS) were used to collect data for measuring emotional intelligence and burnout, respectively. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to find answers to the study objectives. The results indicated that students had higher levels of emotional intelligence and lower levels of burnout. It was found that emotional intelligence and burnout have a strong negative correlation. Lastly, emotional intelligence significantly affects the level of burnout among students. This study is helpful for students, college principals, and teachers to understand the relationship between emotional intelligence and burnout and how different parameters of emotional intelligence can assist in reducing burnout.

Dispositional mindfulness associated with less academic burnout among Muslim students during the COVID-19 pandemic

In the study reported on here we examined the potential mediating role of perceived stress in the association between dispositional mindfulness and academic burnout among Muslim students. Seven hundred and seventy-five Yemeni university students were enlisted to complete the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Student Survey (MBI-SS), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). The results show that dispositional mindfulness was negatively correlated with perceived stress, emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced academic efficacy. Moreover, perceived stress was positively related to emotional exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced academic efficacy. Structural equation modeling revealed that the mediation model fit the data well. That is, perceived stress partly mediated the dispositional mindfulness-burnout association. We found that dispositional mindfulness could predict academic burnout among Muslim students, and perceived stress may be one of the underlying factors of this association.
